We'll be discussing ways to check in, take care of ourselves, and how to go about those things as creative people, especially during COVID. This will encompass emotional, physical, and mental health, and include suggestions as well as open discussion. Campers are welcome to bring their own experiences and participate, or simply listen and follow along.
