We start by talking about rabbits and aspen groves and seasonal cycles, and work our way to laughing about teenagers. Jenn tries to use the word copium, and if her 13-year old found out she’d never hear the end of it, but it’s okay—he doesn’t listen to the podcast.
We get into the nitty-gritty of trying to sort out a personal ethos on where digital tools do and don’t belong in our work. If Sarah takes a picture of a blue dress and matches it to a color in Canva, does that color now carry the the essence of the dress?

At the end of 2024, Jenn and Sarah decided to design the workshop we needed for our own creative growth. Together, we wanted to build a creative community centered around play and exploration. We called it Joyful Practice for Dark Times.
As we continued to lead workshops, we tracked the ideas and values that guided our work and assembled a set of (ever-evolving) principles: the emergent philosophy of Joyful Practice. Those principles are the vertebrae of this podcast.
We offer this podcast as an antidote to grind culture and digital imperialism. We hope it helps you to reclaim your time, your joy, your rage, and find refuge in creative practice.
