One Week Left: Founding Rates Honored for Life
A holiday pause – and a gift, if it’s right.
As the year draws to a close, I want to pause and offer a simple, sincere Happy Holidays, however you mark this season, and however this year has unfolded for you.
Late December is often full:
of endings and beginnings,
of reflection and fatigue,
of longing for rest and clarity at the same time.
Creative Recess exists for moments like this — not to rush us forward, but to offer space to pause, breathe, and reorient toward what matters.

A Year-end Invitation
With one week left in the year, I also want to be clear and transparent:
Founding member rates for Creative Recess are honored for life through December 31.
After that, rates will increase as the work moves into its next phase.
If you’ve been meaning to join, upgrade, or step more fully into this space, this is the window to do so at the best rate this work will ever offer.
I don’t say that lightly — it’s a genuine thank-you to those who help hold Creative Recess in its early, formative stages.
✨ Start or Upgrade Your Membership
Creative Recess isn’t powered by ads, sponsors, or algorithms. It’s sustained by people who choose to support the work because it matters to them.
A Gift, if You’re Thinking of One
This season often invites us to think about what to give — and to whom.
If you know a teacher, artist, organizer, facilitator, leader, or human who could use:
- space to think and feel
- permission to slow down
- creative and reflective practice without performance pressure
…gifting a Creative Recess membership can be a meaningful way to say I thought of you.
During this founding period, gifts are handled personally, with care.
If you’d like to gift a membership, simply reply or reach out, and I’ll take care of the rest.
Or Simply Pass it Along
If membership isn’t the right step for you right now, that’s okay.
You can still support this work by:
- forwarding this note to a friend
- sharing a Possibility Page that resonated
- naming Creative Recess to someone who might need it
This space grows through genuine relationships, not automation — and that kind of sharing matters.
A Closing Note
However you engage — whether you read quietly, practice alongside others, or simply pause here now and then — thank you.
Creative Recess isn’t something to finish or keep up with.
It’s something to return to.
Wishing you rest, warmth, and possibility as the year turns.
With care,
-KP-
