Thank you so much for your interest in The Lab. It is my enormous pleasure to officially invite you to register for this one-of-a-kind experience!
This course is firmly capped at 14 people, so I suggest you grab your spot right away! Read on for all the details.
The Lab is an exciting and FUN experiential 8-week group program using visual art play, improvisation, and nomad-inspired experiments to develop key competencies that you can apply across all areas of your life and work. NO experience with art or improv is necessary–participants range from total beginners to people with tons of experience, and it is a safe place for everyone (including introverts)–promise.

The upcoming cohort will run on Thursdays from 7-9pm ET (New York time) from February 6 – March 27, 2025. The Lab has opened for early enrollment to the early access list. If there are spots left, The Lab will open for enrollment to everyone else on Thursday, January 16.
