We shine brightest when our brilliance is reflected back to us like the moon reflects the sun.

Established July 2022, The Bright Moon Salon is a monthly meet up of creative individuals invested in supporting each other by holding space for the individual within the collective. Each month on an evening leading up to the full moon, we gather to share our insights and talents while engaging the group in conversations and activities that support the deepening of what it means to be in community.

Some months we have an honored guest, and other months we have a theme that we each bring our unique perspectives to. A new element that we are currently trying out is the idea of a hybrid session, which allows individuals or small groups to join those who gather at the Arthouse. This allows for flexibility in how we show up, especially if weather, location, illness or energy levels are a consideration.

Our honored guest for January is: Veronica Michael.
