Guest Speaker
Hannah Milks, Somatic Practitioner, founder of Clever Babes Co.

Somatic therapy helps artists unlock creativity and overcome blocks by connecting with their bodies to regulate the nervous system, reducing anxiety, and bypassing self-criticism. It fosters “interoceptive awareness,” enabling creators to turn internal physical sensations into authentic artistic expression, thereby overcoming burnout, perfectionism, and creative blocks.

Post Meeting Event – Bluestem Fine Crafts Open House
Many BOMH artists are represented by Bluestem Fine Crafts in Downtown Columbia. You may also know that on January 1, 2026, the gallery changed hands. It just so happens that Bluestem is hosting an Open House on April 18 from 3-6 pm. How convenient is that? We will be carpooling to Bluestem and back for their open house and to meet the new owners. This is an ideal opportunity not only for those who are currently represented by Bluestem, but by those who may be interested in having their art in the store in the future to introduce yourself to the new owners. Further information will be provided as developed. Watch this space.
