The Monthly Reset: A Co-Working Session for Creative Women (Virtual)
Thu, Oct 1, 2:00 PM**RSVP on Luma here:** [https://luma.com/1808y6ga](https://luma.com/1808y6ga) A simple way to start your month with intention… and actually get something done. Join the **Creative Women Entrepreneurs** community for a monthly, 90-minute virtual co-working session designed to help you focus, reset, and move something forward. If you’ve been meaning to “get to it,” this is your time! **How it Works:** We’ll meet for 90 minutes on Zoom and begin with a quick check-in and intention setting. After that, we’ll mute and work independently in silence together. At the end, we’ll come back for a short share to celebrate progress. – *First 10 minutes:* verbal check-in + set your intention – *Next 70 minutes:* focused work (silent co-working) – *Final 10 minutes:* share what you worked on + celebrate progress This is a form of *“body doubling”*: working in the presence of others to stay focused and accountable. Studies have shown that simply working in the presence of others can improve focus and follow-through. **RSVP on Luma here:** [https://luma.com/1808y6ga](https://luma.com/1808y6ga) **What Should You Work On?** Anything you’ve been meaning to get to! – setting goals for the month – fleshing out content ideas – organizing your finances – tackling something you’ve been putting off! The time is yours to use however you need. **Who This is For:** Creative women who want a more intentional way to start the month. This is for you if you’re looking for structure, accountability, and a calm environment to focus. **About Creative Women Entrepreneurs** Creative Women Entrepreneurs is a NYC-based community for women building creative businesses. We host events designed for real connection, from walks and co-working sessions to workshops and gatherings that go beyond traditional networking.

(MM)🌟 CO-CREATIVITY WITH AIR! 🌟 Guided Little Island Tour | Nielsen & Jabro
Fri, Oct 2, 6:00 PM**CALLING ALL PLANETARY FLIGHT CREWS!** * **Join us for our 3rd Annual month-long October E-STEAM Playtime Co-Creativity with Air activities.** * * 📍***WHERE:*** On Friday, October 2, the first October weekend, we will begin in New York City, on a FREE [Archtober Guided Tour, of Little Island,](https://partiful.com/e/dXHcZXgSC99z8AyPc3Mu) led by none other than the Little Island's Landscape Architect Signe Nielsen, and the Little Island's Architect of Record Fabian Jabro! * * For those who will not be just picking up, and going to New York City for a weekend, your co-creativity partners will be coming back to Denver, for the rest of our October activities to share this wonderful experience with you. (Also, I can only use the MDT time zone, on this Meetup announcement, but this tour is from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm EDT.) * * 👤***FEATURED EDUTAINERS:*** **Fabian Jabro**, Architect of Record, with [Standard Architects](https://www.standardarchitects.com), and **Signe Nielsen**, Landscape Architect with [Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects, P.C.](https://www.mnlandscape.com) transformed a beautiful co-creativity dream, into a beautiful co-creativity reality! * * 🚀 ***WHAT:*** Signe and Fabian are excellent members of Earth's Planetary Flight Crew! * From birth, each of us is a co-creativity edutainer. All you have to do is notice all the YouTube videos of babies' first expressions to know - "Yup!" there's another featured co-creativity edutainer! \* When these two co-creativity edutainers grew up, and became senior members of our Planetary Flight Crew's Co-Creativity with Air, their combined conscious, and intentional co-creativity helped to design a little piece of heaven, here on the urban Earth of New York City! * The [CBS Sunday Morning](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ6kxYxyvI4) video on YouTube introduced us to the billionaire named Barry Diller, who connected these two co-creativity edutainers, with his shared vision for a beautiful new reality of a socially and environmentally vibrant Little Island. This Little Island is taking the place of what once was a beaten up Pier 54. On April 11, 1912, the brand new "unsinkable" Titanic, which was built in [Belfast, Ireland](https://www.titanicbelfast.com/history-of-titanic/titanic-stories/titanic-s-maiden-voyage-the-queenstown-connection/), left from Ireland, expecting to arrive at New York City's Pier 54. Instead, on April 18, 1912, an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 people arrived at this port to welcome the return of the 712 survivors of the sunken Titanic. The Bowery Boys Podcast story "[The Fate of Pier 54](https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/2023/04/the-titanic-and-the-fate-of-pier-54.html)" shows this Little Island standing like a gravesite memorial, not just for the estimated lost 1,500 passengers, but for the lost dreams of co-creativity connections between continents. This Little Island has become an intentional site for global life-supporting co-creativity connections. \* * [The Little Island's online announcement](https://littleisland.org/event/archtober-guided-tour-of-little-island/2026-10-02/2/) of this tour says that RSVPs are not required. However, you have the option of RSVPing for event updates, and social connections, through the [Partiful database](https://partiful.com/e/dXHcZXgSC99z8AyPc3Mu). On behalf of Denver's annual October E-STEAM Playtime Co-Creativity with Air activities, Fran and Richard RSVP'd, and also shared this activity, on our collaborative Meetup Museum Muser calendars. * 🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸 * **"We are the Universe becoming conscious of itself."** * \- a quote by Ron Garan\, spacewalker\, astronaut\, on the International Space Station\, in his BigThink video titled\, “[I went to space and discovered an enormous lie](https://bigthink.com/life/overview-effect/)." 🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸 * 🤝🌱🧑 ***CO-CREATIVITY PARTNERS:*** * * **E-STEAM Playtime Edutainers** [Fran and Richard Rew](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b4Ni0i4mDmdPBFCbQtR3TanDzXop5HXh/view) are co-founders of the [E-STEAM Love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAa47BJ3OTU) channel on YouTube. * * Richard and Fran will be co-hosting the rest of October's month-long activities in Denver, Colorado. These activities and locations will be announced, on the collaborative [Museum Muser](https://www.meetup.com/museummuser/) calendars. * * 🌱🌍🛠️ ***CO-CREATIVITY CONNECTIONS*** * **New York City's, and Denver, Colorado’s "urban living skin,”** at its best is mostly like the temperature regulating living hair follicles, on our skin. The surrounding rural areas are more like Earth's actual "living skin." * * Next Friday (10/9/2026), we'll explore the possibilities for vertiports as a part of NU-GRIPs (Neighborhood Urban Green Roof, intergenerational, interdisciplinary, Public-Private-Partnerships), to improve our urban-and-rural co-creativity connections! It is the rural (not urban) “skin” that’s packed full of the biology of air. Our urban “living skin” needs to share strong biological conscious co-creativity connections with our rural “living skin.” Our rural and urban “living skins,” are currently packed full of increasingly disconnections, from our biologically “conscious co-creativity connections!” * * **The [2026 calendar for the full month of October's E-STEAM Playtime Co-Creativity with Air](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X1Y7k__IPM97GOC1WplB6CiRMF-7GlcF/view?usp=sharing)** activities will be linked, in the video descriptions, of the 2024 and 2026 annual October event videos, on the [E-STEAM Love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAa47BJ3OTU) channel on YouTube. The 2nd weekend of October’s Denver, Colorado, locations include Forney Transportation Museum (Friday, 10/9), CSU Spur (Saturday, 10/10), and the One Sky One World International Kite Fly for Peace, in the Sloan’s Lake Park (Sunday, 10/11). * 🔸🔹 **THE EARTH LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEM MISSION** 🔸🔹 * **Our Planetary Flight Crew's playtime** mission is to connect with our conscious love for co-creativity, with Nature's life-supporting designs. \* With this connection, our **E-STEAM Playtime Power** will grow a co-creativity resilience, for balancing E-STEAM’s [Life-Supporting Biology of Precipitation Cycles](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pvqiR8XGRhnZmzhIPBGoozVeKn-Ki2dr/view?pli=1) \* * **"E" = Economics,** of Nature's living-energy-resource-balancing economics.

E-STEAM Playtime edutainers, Fran and Richard Rew, will be attending [Lily Turner’s Liberty Park Living Wall Tour](https://site.pheedloop.com/event/EVENVEBCKWHKA/sessions/SESMVKF4VXZR20B0S), to witness this inspiring manifestation of urban co-creativity with air. * * This remarkable living wall at Liberty Park is 336 feet long, and 25 feet high. It overlooks the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in Lower Manhattan. This large-scale green infrastructure project was designed and installed using [Sempergreen](https://vimeo.com/1174376074?fl=pl&fe=vl)'s outdoor system. It features more than 25,000 plants woven into a highly engineered hydroponic living wall. As E-STEAM Playtime attendees, we'll have the opportunity to explore how this innovative system creates a resilient and sustainable urban landscape, while serving as a serene natural backdrop within one of New York City’s most meaningful public spaces. * * As [E-STEAM Playtime Planetary Flight Crew](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zV0E2Wu2pm2dy4bHhlMrPkErHeqABkAX/view?usp=sharing) members, we are all like the astronauts, on the International Space Station (ISS), checking out our Environmental Control and Life-Support System (ECLSS). * * This Liberty Living Wall represents an urban ECLSS, which supports the [biology of urban precipitation cycles](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pvqiR8XGRhnZmzhIPBGoozVeKn-Ki2dr/view?pli=1) * * In this YouTube link, to the ISS astronaut [Commander Chris Hadfield](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOC9danxNo) playing his guitar and singing "Space Oddity" on the ISS, his team's ECLSS is fully functional. Good urban ECLSS makes playtime happier anywhere! * * This Living Wall tour is scheduled, on the last day, of the [CitiesAlive 2026, Green Roofs for Healthy Cities](https://site.pheedloop.com/event/EVENVEBCKWHKA/home) conference. Richard and Fran will only be going to this tour, not the entire conference. Registration is required for this 2-hour tour. This tour's ticket price is $49 per person. * 🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸 * **"We are the Universe becoming conscious of itself."** * \- a quote by Ron Garan\, spacewalker\, astronaut\, on the International Space Station\, in his BigThink video titled\, “[I went to space and discovered an enormous lie](https://bigthink.com/life/overview-effect/)." 🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸 * 🤝🌱🧑 ***CO-CREATIVITY PARTNERS:*** * * **E-STEAM Playtime Edutainers** [Fran and Richard Rew](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b4Ni0i4mDmdPBFCbQtR3TanDzXop5HXh/view) are co-founders of the [E-STEAM Love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAa47BJ3OTU) channel on YouTube.

Creative Writing Café
Mon, Oct 5, 8:00 PMThis is a non-judgmental, positive and friendly environment where participants can share their writing, meet other writers, and have some time to write in silence. Our schedule goes something like this: Introductions (first 5-15 minutes) Silent Writing (for the rest of the hour) Sharing Work and Feedback (1 hr, 3 minutes/500 words per person) After someone finishes reading, listeners should share positive feedback. This has been the expectation for this group for a long time. Sometimes we go a little over 6pm. This is a long-standing writing group that used to meet at the Sleeping Cat Café which then went out of business but now has been replaced with Books N' Cup. We kept our weekly meetings going in the meantime at various locations.
Meet in the Arts
Sat, Oct 3, 5:00 PM[Which art style are you? Vote and see who shares your lane.](https://app.favr.town/polls/s_378XeL85R4csGQ?r=@lovemaze) Our preferences in art reveal more about us than we often realize. Long before personality traits were formally categorized, psychologists studied personality differences through individuals' ratings of various paintings. If you find yourself drawn to the same piece of artwork, there's a strong chance you share a deep connection. Meet in the museum for an excursion. Sign up on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and predict your next art buddy before you meet. Find out if you're right when you meet onsite. Or, if you fancy other museums, pin them at times that work for you on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and discover who you might meet there. Note: This is a [Favr.town](http://favr.town/) member exclusive event. [Join](https://favr.town/events/meet-and-shop-trader-joes-trader-joes-2026-06-15-17-00) [[https://favr.town](https://favr.town/) ] Hint: Fans of abstract art tend to be creative, pop art lovers are often optimistic, impressionism enthusiasts are more likely to be conscientious, and those who prefer traditional art tend to be, well, more traditional. Something extra: Why do these traits matter? See how [optimism](https://favr.town/blog/the-power-of-optimism-in-relationships-how-a-positive-outlook-strengthens-resilience-emotional-health-and-lasting-love-2025-11-20), [conscientiousness](https://favr.town/blog/how-responsibility-and-reliability-build-trust-and-lasting-love-2026-04-19), [traditional values](https://favr.town/blog/prioritizing-family-values-for-lasting-commitment-and-love-2025-12-17), and [excitement](https://favr.town/blog/how-novelty-play-and-shared-adventure-keep-love-alive-2025-12-14) influence relationships. You can also measure how your sense of [optimism](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=1&b=OPTIMISTIC), [conscientiousness](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=CONSCIENTIOUS), [traditional values](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=TRADITIONAL), and [excitement](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=EXCITING) stack up against others.
