Welcome to Flourish & Flow, a monthly newsletter on arts, tech, style and purpose.

Purpose and Vision in a Dramatically Changing World…

It’s no secret that our society is changing. The importance of community-building and mutual aid couldn’t be greater than it is at this moment. If you are looking for a way to contribute and be solution-oriented, check out the Chicago Urban Art Retreat Center (CUARC) and help speak truth to power through social justice and art.

We are looking for board members and volunteers to help make CUARC a beacon in the North Lawndale community and in the world.

Make sure you join us on the 606 on February 9 - you won’t want to miss this one. Lucy Brennan and Alonso Cisneros of P33 will be joining TechWalk to give us the low down on what this year’s TechRise pitch competition will hold. Need $100K to get your startup off the ground?

Fill Your Cup…

Garbage in = garbage out. Good reads, good sounds, good eats, and more…

We’ve been hit with a sledgehammer from day one of 2025 - DO take care of yourselves and this means minding the media you are consuming

Psychologist Jamil Zaki reminds us to not lose hope - it’s a vital tool for sanity, survival and self-fulfillment.

It’s been so very cold here in Chicago with temperatures dipping into the negatives…  my answer to that? Put the oven on and whip up delicious lentil soup, crusty bread, and naturally gluten free clementine cake (although I use what is on hand and this week it was all-purpose + gram flour + cornmeal and a splash of Aperol).

#ICYMI…

Month in Review (because we couldn’t get it together for the week)
