Clementine is where curiosity finds community.
A place to nurture the creative mind, explore ideas, and make meaning together.
“A community for the curious, the creative, and everyone still asking good questions.”
We come together to nurture the creative mind through conversation, reflection, and creative exchange. Through workshops, salons, and publications, we explore ideas, share perspectives, and make meaning together.
Join us to keep the conversation going.
How we gather
Clementine Journal
Explore through storytelling
Twice a year, we publish a printed exploration of a shared prompt. Through essays, photographs, conversations, and creative submissions, we approach a single question from multiple angles, uncovering unexpected connections along the way.
Clementine Circle
Explore through conversation
A space to slow down, think together, and follow questions wherever they lead. Each gathering is an invitation to reflect, exchange, and see familiar things in new ways: practicing curiosity as a way of learning and connecting.
Clementine Workshops
Explore through practice
Curiosity is not just something we think about. It is something we practice. Through guided conversation, reflection, and creative exploration, our workshops invite you to experiment, make, and get your hands in it.
Clementine Community
Explore through connection
Join a growing network of curious minds. Subscribe to receive invitations to gatherings, workshops, conversations, and new journal releases. Stay connected to an ongoing exploration of ideas, creativity, and meaning.
Read. Gather. Practice. Connect.

Proposition 02: Ritual
How do you use ritual to create meaning in your life? Can you turn a habit into a ritual? What are we pursuing when we embark on a Ritual? This prompt aims to explore the fantasy and reality of Ritual in our daily lives. How we use, and don’t use Ritual to create meaning for ourselves in big and small ways.

Proposition 01: Eutopia
What is our ideal place of well-being? Where do we find our place of least resistance? This project was created to survey ourselves and replicate that feeling. An invitation to see the world through someone else’s eyes. Inspire others and find common ground. Maybe, just maybe this will offer a glimpse of unity. What does paradise look like after all?
Join us and share your Eutopia here.
