A Portable Creativity School

As a writer, visual artist, and musician, Shira's creativity can't be contained.

In this ethos and spirit, Freer Form was born as a gathering space to shape-shift, defy categorization, and create in the name of love.

​

Shira believes most suffering can be traced back to isolation. She's obsessed with art as a way to experience vitality and connection. She's propelled by process, presence and possibility. The mystery and transience of being alive

fuel her expressions.

​

Creativity has taught her that it's not entirely natural to confine one's self to a specific shape for too long. No matter the medium, joy and growth can be found in reaching for your newest shape, your freer form. 

​

She teaches In Surreal Life, a month-long, communal, global, online class offered quarterly (January, April, August, and September); as well as individualized 1-on-1 courses throughout the year.

​

Central to her teaching is possibility and love. In the words of James Baldwin, "I use the word 'love' here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace — not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth."
