WIGGLE PAINTING WORKSHOP

May 23 + 5:30-7:30 
The Moonstead - 2551 S Hempstead St, West Valley City, UT 84119
Together we will be painting on a relatively large scale, intuitively, full of movement and empty of plan or prediction. Before the intuitive painting practice, we begin with a demonstration, followed by a meditation & visualization together. 
A mini spring opportunity to make art! Let's get the wiggles out!
This drop in class is a sliding scale $25-$45, which includes a material fee.

COMMUNITY INTUITIVE BOOKMAKING WORKSHOP SERIES

June 5th & 8th 5:30-7:30 both days
The Moonstead - 2551 S Hempstead St, West Valley City, UT 84119
Together, we will make a very large-scale collectively created intuitive painting. From that painting that we create in community, it will be cut down into pieces that each participant will learn how to bind into a notebook, which will serve as a ripe & fertile background place for new magic and conversation to happen.

A word on financial transparency:

Each quarter 30% of The Mobile Moon Co-op's proceeds go to a solidarity part.  This is an expression of direct mutual aid to the grassroots. The remaining funds compensate for materials and the time and energy of our core members. We are devoted to making high-quality products and hosting meaningful community events. Navigating compensation for this work is a difficult and confusing task! Depending on the month we make anywhere from $8-20/hour.  We ask for donations for many of our events so we can continue honoring our commitment to take care of ourselves and our community in the form of material and financial redistribution. 

We hold values of anti-capitalism and community liberation from oppressive structures. We know that everybody has bills to pay and we don’t want finances to stop anybody participating in our workshops or events. We offer sliding scale, work trade, discounts for QTBIPOC (Queer and Trans Black and Indigenous People of Color) and are open to other ideas for improving inclusivity. Please don’t feel discouraged to join in on an event if you can’t afford the entry, but please write to us and let us know so we can help! Lack of money is not a barrier to entry into our space. 

We encourage everyone to take a moment and reflect on your privilege and hold yourself accountable for what you can truly offer.  We believe in solidarity over charity and acknowledge the cruel and extractive historical processes that have led to certain community members being positioned with greater access to resources than others. If you’d like to give more than the suggested donation and/or sponsor a moonbox or workshop registration for someone else, you are welcome to do so! Just reach out and let us know. 

Thank you to everyone for all the ways you choose to engage with this project! We wouldn’t be here without the mycelial network of support and enthusiasm from you all.
