Is your neurodivergent mind often racing with creative ideas, making connections no one else can see? 

And yet you find yourself stuck, immobilized, lonely.

  • Do you have trouble getting started? Get mired in the middle? Fail to finish? 

  • Do you hear so many shaming voices in your head that you feel defeated before you even begin?

  • Maybe you are so overcome by perfectionism and the fear of judgment that you never get out of your head and actually start making—your art or your life!

  • Or maybe you’ve found a creative practice that works well for you . . . but you still feel so all alone!

Imagine if you had the spaciousness to pursue the creative connections your brain is constantly making.

What if there were no shame in the quirky, expansive ways your mind works?

Imagine a community of neurodivergent creatives who really understand and want to support you on your own terms!

The Divergent Design Framework has emerged through Marta's work on Instagram.

These concepts have resonated deeply for many people and seem helpful in giving neurodivergent people insights and tools for designing lives that actually work for us. The concepts are all inter-related (of course!), but learning about them and how they might be helpful doesn't have to happen in any particular order. There will be regular workshops offered on a pay-what-you-can basis (suggested price $40 each), in addition to your membership fee, and you can enroll (or not) as your interest, bandwidth, and finances allow.

The Divergent Design Workshops:

• The Role of Shame in Neurodivergent Lives (and how to identify and disrupt it) 

• Design Thinking (how to move beyond executive dysfunction and reframe failure)

• Neuroemergent Spiral Time (learning about your neurodivergent rhythms of productivity and rest)

• Mise en Place and the Place of Pleasure (in praise of slowness and awe)
