WELLBEING THROUGH EXPRESSIVE ARTS
THE MEADOW DUMBO is a creative sanctuary in a busy city. We are a community-based expressive arts studio in DUMBO, Brooklyn that offers creative arts workshops for all ages and hosts special events and gatherings for friend and family groups and professional organizations.
Founded by JULIE Ann Flynn
Julie is a multi-disciplinary artist, educator, and non-clinical arts therapist who is interested in exploring what it means to live well in an unwell world. Her work introduces time-tested technologies that build strong communities, encourage growth, and usher in positive change. She’s especially interested in how contemplative practice and expressive arts can support organizational and individual transformation.
THE MISSION
The purpose of The Meadow DUMBO is to provide a sacred space for collective well-being, individual creative expression, and cultural regeneration. All of our offerings are rooted in mindfulness, involve reflection, and build community. We believe the city needs more opportunities and spaces for creativity, connection, and reflection. We value gatherings that are multigenerational and culturally inclusive.
THE EXPERIENCE
“I am a huge fan of Julie and her work. I have sought her out for private meditation and am so grateful for her guidance. She aligned and connected me with deeper values and helped me set personal and professional intentions that still guide me to this day! I have also attended her weaving and textile workshops.
Julie brings humor, talent and charm, while cultivating confidence in creating within a serene and meditative, non-judgmental environment… I am refreshed, restored, satisfied, and connected with other fascinating beings Julie brings into her world” - Dr. Belinda Bellet
