And creative presence sometimes requires creative rest.
Collective.aporia is maintained by a group of volunteers who, in addition to being artists, activists, teachers, working stiffs, parents, and more, are also human beings who need purposeful pauses to regroup, recalibrate, and realign with our individual and communal goals.
This is why we've decided as a team to take a brief hiatus from the months of June to September. During this period, we will not be accepting submissions to *apo-press, holding month-long workshops, or participating in collaborative events. Weekend workshops and full moon offerings will still be offered to support your creativity and nourishment over the summer months.
What we will be doing during this time is dreaming up new ways to return in the fall with offerings that serve our community and our world. Workshops located in The Commons will still be available for rent or purchase, and we will also still be available for communication at collective.aporia@gmail.com.
We appreciate your understanding and support. We're so excited to see what we cook up for the fall! See you then!

*apo-press issue no. 1
The mission of collective.aporia is to create an international community of artists, poets, writers, and thinkers through accessible and nurturing online spaces. This is why we have set the base donation amount at $40 for our asynchronous workshops. All of us at collective.aporia are working artists who believe that creatives should be paid fairly for their time. The suggested donation amounts are based on a breakdown of hourly income for the facilitator per student with 30% going to back to collective.aporia to help with the costs of our courses.
For example, if a participant donates $100 for a four-week course, the facilitator will make $17.50 for each 1-hour class for that participant. All money that goes back to collective.aporia is used for organizing community events, printing our publications, website maintenance, and social justice outreach.
If you have any questions about donations, please feel free to reach out at any time to collective.aporia@gmail.com
