I was sweeping my creativity away to the “I’ll I was sweeping my creativity away to the “I’ll get to it after...” priority list, but one trip to Craftcation taught me this and it has changed me forever.

Creativity is just as important as teeth brushing and doesn’t need to make you money either. No really making can be as simple as arranging a bunch of leaves in a shape or color order, and it benefits your brain in a way neuroscience is studying. Want to sweep into a better creative practice? Join us in welcoming Sally Rae to our 2026 line up of presenters find her here. 

Join us in April for five days of crafting, wellness activities, business workshops and panels designed to feed those creative minds, where ever they are. Links in bio but we are always here to answer questions in our DMs.
