A little invitation
Maybe you're
Maybe you're
here because...
✺ You're in a season of change.
You're navigating endings, beginnings, or the uncertain in-between. You long to feel more grounded in who you are.
✳ You miss your creative spark.
You want to make things again. To play and experiment without worrying whether your art is perfect or productive.
♡ You're learning to love yourself.
You're ready to soften self-judgment and see yourself with greater tenderness, curiosity, and trust.
☼ You're craving real connection.
You want a creative space where you can bring your whole, imperfect, becoming self.
The heart of the work
What if love were something we could create?
We often think of love as something we feel, find, or give to another person.
But what if love could also be a creative practice?
Something we return to when life feels uncertain. Something we express through an image, a letter, a sound, or an act of attention.
Multimedia Love Letter is an invitation to explore love as a creative way of being.
We begin with ourselves, then let that love ripple outward into our relationships, communities, and the world.
A little love note to you

A note from your facilitator
Hello, I'm Meng.
I'm an artist and creative facilitator. My work brings together creative expression, somatic exploration, and storytelling as ways to deepen our relationships with ourselves and others.
Multimedia Love Letter grew from a question I keep returning to:
What if love were not only something we feel, but something we practice through how we create and live?
I believe creativity belongs to everyone. Our stories deserve care. And tenderness, curiosity, and play can open meaningful possibilities.
I'd love to explore with you. ♡

A few practical love notes
Wondering about
Wondering about
something?
Do I need to be an artist?
Not at all. This journey welcomes all levels of creative experience. The focus is on exploration and expression, not technical perfection.
What will I create?
You'll explore photography, writing, sound, video, and multimedia storytelling with the opportunity to create a personal multimedia love letter.
Do I need special equipment?
A smartphone capable of taking photos and recording sound and video is enough to begin. No coding is required.
What's the difference between the pathways?
Self-Paced includes recorded rituals, workbooks, community calls, and community access. Live + Cohort includes weekly live facilitation, personalized feedback, integration sessions, and group support.
When does the live cohort meet?
Sundays, 7–8:30pm ET / 4–5:30pm PT, corresponding to Monday, 8–9:30am China Standard Time. The program runs November 15, 2026 through February 7, 2027. Please confirm the dates of the nine core sessions and three integration gatherings before publishing.
How does sliding scale work?
Self-Paced ranges from $222 to $666 USD. Live + Cohort ranges from $666 to $1,111 USD. Choose a contribution according to your circumstances. Two- to three-installment payment plans are available.
Is this therapy?
No. Multimedia Love Letter is a creative somatic educational experience. It isn't psychotherapy or a replacement for mental-health treatment.
Your love letter is waiting to be written
Come as you are.
Come as you are.
Let's walk each other home.
You don't have to know exactly what will emerge. You don't have to create anything extraordinary. You only have to begin.
