The Ripple Experience: A Word to Begin With
You don’t have to arrive with a word for the year. We’ll begin with whatever is actually true that morning.
A Ripple Experience is a small, facilitated gathering built around making with your hands and the conversation that unfolds alongside it.
I’m Mansi, and I guide both. For a couple of hours, you can set down the responsibility of knowing what happens next and let someone else hold the room.
This January, we’ll work with color, paper, and layers to create expressive figures, leaving room for a word to emerge as we make.
It might name something you want to welcome, something you need, or something you’re still finding language for. There’s no need to settle on it before you come.
I’ll offer prompts and guide the making. There’s no model to copy, no technique to master, and no expectation that what you make must be good.
You can talk, listen, pass on a question, or keep your thoughts to yourself. No one will ask you to explain your piece.
You’ll leave with your own expressive figure and a word you’ve chosen—a small record of your morning at the table.
Coffee, tea, and light bites thoughtfully provided by Red Berry Coffee.
