The following three workshops (June 20, Sept 19, Dec 19; 1 hour each) will be facilitated by Orchard founder, Vocalist, Composer, Dreamer and Mother, Ayelet Rose Gottlieb.
See bios below.

Creation Support and Intention Setting:

Every first Monday of the month, the Orchard Community Tier on Patreon gathers for “What’s Your Story? Lab”s.

This is where we share works, talk about our process and set creative intentions for the month ahead. During this session you get valuable feedback about your works in progress, as well a community that will help you stay accountable to your art practices.

Ticketed participants in the DreamWeave Workshops , you will be invited to the gatherings on March 7, June 6, September 5 and December 5 (all 2 hours). Patreon participants are offered this workshop every month, Jan-Dec.

DreamWeave on WhatsApp: 

All year long, we share our dreams in a private WhatsApp group. We don’t comment or respond, just drop in our dream fragments. This WhatsApp thread is open only to Orchard of Pomegranates Patreon members and participants of this workshop series. You’ll be invited to partake for the duration of the series (from your registration date until the end of Dec 2022)
