About Of the Studio
An interdisciplinary studio for self exploration and growth that uses the power of art and non-ordinary states of consciousness. Of the Studio reflects the belief that certain kinds of insight, transformation, and creative work emerge specifically through the conditions cultivated in a studio. To be of the studio is to be shaped by the studio’s mysterious atmosphere. The name honors the studio not just as a location or special place, but also as a generative state of being.
