The Monthly Reset: A Co-Working Session for Creative Women (Virtual)

**RSVP on Luma here:** [https://luma.com/1808y6ga](https://luma.com/1808y6ga) A simple way to start your month with intention… and actually get something done. ​ Join the **Creative Women Entrepreneurs** community for a monthly, 90-minute virtual co-working session designed to help you focus, reset, and move something forward. If you’ve been meaning to “get to it,” this is your time! **​How it Works:** We’ll meet for 90 minutes on Zoom and begin with a quick check-in and intention setting. After that, we’ll mute and work independently in silence together. At the end, we’ll come back for a short share to celebrate progress. ​– *First 10 minutes:* verbal check-in + set your intention – *Next 70 minutes:* focused work (silent co-working) – *Final 10 minutes:* share what you worked on + celebrate progress ​ This is a form of *“body doubling”*: working in the presence of others to stay focused and accountable. Studies have shown that simply working in the presence of others can improve focus and follow-through. **RSVP on Luma here:** [https://luma.com/1808y6ga](https://luma.com/1808y6ga) **​What Should You Work On?** Anything you’ve been meaning to get to! ​– setting goals for the month – fleshing out content ideas – organizing your finances – tackling something you’ve been putting off! ​The time is yours to use however you need. ​ **Who This is For:** Creative women who want a more intentional way to start the month. This is for you if you’re looking for structure, accountability, and a calm environment to focus. **About Creative Women Entrepreneurs** Creative Women Entrepreneurs is a NYC-based community for women building creative businesses. ​We host events designed for real connection, from walks and co-working sessions to workshops and gatherings that go beyond traditional networking. ​ Check out [our calendar on Luma](https://luma.com/creativewomenentrepreneurs) to view our upcoming events. **RSVP on Luma here:** [https://luma.com/1808y6ga](https://luma.com/1808y6ga)

(MM)🌟 CO-CREATIVITY WITH AIR! 🌟 Guided Little Island Tour | Nielsen & Jabro

**CALLING ALL PLANETARY FLIGHT CREWS!** * **Join us for our 3rd Annual month-long October E-STEAM Playtime Co-Creativity with Air activities.** * * 📍***WHERE:*** On Friday, October 2, the first October weekend, we will begin in New York City, on a FREE [Archtober Guided Tour, of Little Island,](https://partiful.com/e/dXHcZXgSC99z8AyPc3Mu) led by none other than the Little Island's Landscape Architect Signe Nielsen, and the Little Island's Architect of Record Fabian Jabro! * * For those who will not be just picking up, and going to New York City for a weekend, your co-creativity partners will be coming back to Denver, for the rest of our October activities to share this wonderful experience with you. (Also, I can only use the MDT time zone, on this Meetup announcement, but this tour is from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm EDT.) * * 👤***FEATURED EDUTAINERS:*** **Fabian Jabro**, Architect of Record, with [Standard Architects](https://www.standardarchitects.com), and **Signe Nielsen**, Landscape Architect with [Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects, P.C.](https://www.mnlandscape.com) transformed a beautiful co-creativity dream, into a beautiful co-creativity reality! * * 🚀 ***WHAT:*** Signe and Fabian are excellent members of Earth's Planetary Flight Crew! * From birth, each of us is a co-creativity edutainer. All you have to do is notice all the YouTube videos of babies' first expressions to know - "Yup!" there's another featured co-creativity edutainer! \* When these two co-creativity edutainers grew up, and became senior members of our Planetary Flight Crew's Co-Creativity with Air, their combined conscious, and intentional co-creativity helped to design a little piece of heaven, here on the urban Earth of New York City! * The [CBS Sunday Morning](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ6kxYxyvI4) video on YouTube introduced us to the billionaire named Barry Diller, who connected these two co-creativity edutainers, with his shared vision for a beautiful new reality of a socially and environmentally vibrant Little Island. This Little Island is taking the place of what once was a beaten up Pier 54. On April 11, 1912, the brand new "unsinkable" Titanic, which was built in [Belfast, Ireland](https://www.titanicbelfast.com/history-of-titanic/titanic-stories/titanic-s-maiden-voyage-the-queenstown-connection/), left from Ireland, expecting to arrive at New York City's Pier 54. Instead, on April 18, 1912, an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 people arrived at this port to welcome the return of the 712 survivors of the sunken Titanic. The Bowery Boys Podcast story "[The Fate of Pier 54](https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/2023/04/the-titanic-and-the-fate-of-pier-54.html)" shows this Little Island standing like a gravesite memorial, not just for the estimated lost 1,500 passengers, but for the lost dreams of co-creativity connections between continents. This Little Island has become an intentional site for global life-supporting co-creativity connections. \* * [The Little Island's online announcement](https://littleisland.org/event/archtober-guided-tour-of-little-island/2026-10-02/2/) of this tour says that RSVPs are not required. However, you have the option of RSVPing for event updates, and social connections, through the [Partiful database](https://partiful.com/e/dXHcZXgSC99z8AyPc3Mu).

It is the rural (not urban) “skin” that’s packed full of the biology of air. Our urban “living skin” needs to share strong biological conscious co-creativity connections with our rural “living skin.” Our rural and urban “living skins,” are currently packed full of increasingly disconnections, from our biologically “conscious co-creativity connections!” * * **The [2026 calendar for the full month of October's E-STEAM Playtime Co-Creativity with Air](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X1Y7k__IPM97GOC1WplB6CiRMF-7GlcF/view?usp=sharing)** activities will be linked, in the video descriptions, of the 2024 and 2026 annual October event videos, on the [E-STEAM Love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAa47BJ3OTU) channel on YouTube.

It overlooks the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in Lower Manhattan. This large-scale green infrastructure project was designed and installed using [Sempergreen](https://vimeo.com/1174376074?fl=pl&fe=vl)'s outdoor system.

Meet in the Arts

[Which art style are you? Vote and see who shares your lane.](https://app.favr.town/polls/s_378XeL85R4csGQ?r=@lovemaze) Our preferences in art reveal more about us than we often realize. Long before personality traits were formally categorized, psychologists studied personality differences through individuals' ratings of various paintings. If you find yourself drawn to the same piece of artwork, there's a strong chance you share a deep connection. Meet in the museum for an excursion. Sign up on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and predict your next art buddy before you meet. Find out if you're right when you meet onsite. Or, if you fancy other museums, pin them at times that work for you on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and discover who you might meet there. Note: This is a [Favr.town](http://favr.town/) member exclusive event. [Join](https://favr.town/events/meet-and-shop-trader-joes-trader-joes-2026-06-15-17-00) [[https://favr.town](https://favr.town/) ] Hint: Fans of abstract art tend to be creative, pop art lovers are often optimistic, impressionism enthusiasts are more likely to be conscientious, and those who prefer traditional art tend to be, well, more traditional. Something extra: Why do these traits matter? See how [optimism](https://favr.town/blog/the-power-of-optimism-in-relationships-how-a-positive-outlook-strengthens-resilience-emotional-health-and-lasting-love-2025-11-20), [conscientiousness](https://favr.town/blog/how-responsibility-and-reliability-build-trust-and-lasting-love-2026-04-19), [traditional values](https://favr.town/blog/prioritizing-family-values-for-lasting-commitment-and-love-2025-12-17), and [excitement](https://favr.town/blog/how-novelty-play-and-shared-adventure-keep-love-alive-2025-12-14) influence relationships. You can also measure how your sense of [optimism](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=1&b=OPTIMISTIC), [conscientiousness](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=CONSCIENTIOUS), [traditional values](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=TRADITIONAL), and [excitement](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=EXCITING) stack up against others.

Hidden Patterns: The Visual Journey of Networks

Have you ever wondered why one startup, one tweet, or one node in your product's user graph explodes while a thousand identical-looking others don't? You've already run into **[Albert-László Barabási](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert-L%C3%A1szl%C3%B3_Barab%C3%A1si)**'s work, whether you knew his name or not. He's the physicist who discovered **[scale-free networks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale-free_network)**: the finding that most real networks, from the web to your own social graph, run on a small number of massive hubs instead of evenly spread connections. That's the math behind **preferential attachment**, and it's why the web, social networks, and citation networks all follow the same power law. In collaboration with the **[National Arts Club](https://www.nacnyc.org/)** and its **[Art and Technology Committee](https://www.nacnyc.org/arts-and-programs/committees)**, Barabási will walk through 25 years spent turning that math into something you can look at. **[BarabásiLab's work](https://barabasi.com/)** has moved from raw data visualizations to physical, 3D-printed network sculptures, and from academic papers to museum installations. The current centerpiece is **[Constructing La Biennale](https://www.labiennale.org/en/architecture/2025/living-lab/constructing-la-biennale)**, a 30-by-8-meter data visualization wrapped around the scaffolding of the Central Pavilion at the **2025 Venice Architecture Biennale**. It maps roughly 12,000 architects and 3,800 projects across the Biennale's 45-year history, back to its first edition in 1980, as a single connected graph. Barabási has called it **the most visible work at the Biennale**, and building it, in his words, "*was a massive data science project*." If your product, your portfolio, or your own career runs on network effects, **this is a rare chance to hear from the person who wrote the math for it**. Reserve your spot and arrive early. **Space is limited.**
