Work is Better in the Company of Friends

"I want to tell you why I built this specifically right now.

I have a major show in six months. A second book to finish. An entire new body of paintings to create. I am doing all of it alone …while paying rent… knocking on the door of sixty.

And I realized something. The work is better when it's not done in isolation. The philosophy is more alive when there are people practicing it alongside you.

I missed my community. And I've been hearing from a lot of you that you've missed yours.

So I'm bringing it back with a healthy dose of creativity and service. It’s different this time. Deeper. More intentional. Built around a philosophy that I believe the world needs right now more than ever."

Ardith Goodwin is a self-taught painter, children's fantasy author, and creative philosopher from Mobile, Alabama ,,, and more creatively alive than ever. She built this because you are not meant to journey alone.
