Monthly @ Haus of Owl (Doors at 2:45PM) 3:00PM - 5:00PM
Meet at the entrance at the corner of Burdett and Blanshard

Gather, Socialize, and share! Haus Socials are an opportunity that happen once a month, where we gather, go around and share what we're up to! These monthly mixers are members only and are a wonderful way to grow community while cultivating creativity. Jake Insley will be offering headshots for the first hour to all members who don’t have a photo for the Haus of Owl website. Jake will be taking photos in the Athena.

This Haus Social will flow into a special event by the name of 'An Evening with Elephants in the Garden’ with director Patricia Sims. Read more about that event by clicking the link below.

3 MONTHS  *  COMMIT  *  SHARE  *  SUPPORT  *  CELEBRATE

Want to make more progress on your goals? Are you great at setting goals, but brilliant at procrastinating? Want to learn effective ways to set goals AND follow through? Then read on...

One of the most effective ways to get moving on your goals is to share them in a supportive group setting and meet regularly to share progress. Action Traction is a 3-month program led by an experienced facilitator. It is intended as an opportunity to learn and a fun group experience. This program encourages participants to set out realistic goals, break down what actions are needed, and choose their own deadlines. Groups meet regularly every 3-4 weeks to share progress and talk about their successes and any challenges or blockers they encountered.

This is all about encouraging all participants to get traction for their goals. Most importantly, it is about celebrating progress and results as a group in a supportive environment. Sometimes what seems like just a small step can be huge for an artist.

Now into its second year, there have been some wonderful breakthroughs for artists of many different backgrounds including Songwriters, Musicians, Artists, Writers, Photographers, Film Makers and Entrepreneurs.

Here are a few comments from past participants.

“Just to say that I am having my first ever book signing as a local Calgary author. This wouldn't have been possible if I wasn't pushed to get my books to libraries across Canada”. New author –first book release

“Action Traction Works!” - A visual artist who took the program to take his passion from being a hobby to a professional presence.

“It was like a fog lifting” - A filmmaker and creative entrepreneur who had a lot on the go.

This program is all about encouraging all participants to get traction for their goals. Most importantly, it is about celebrating progress and results as a group.

We’re switching gears for the summer with a new event called “Let’s Write About It!” happening every 2nd Wednesday of the month. Join us on August 13th for our songwriting circle with a optional theme.

Don’t you worry, “Let’s Talk About It!” continues every 4th Wednesday of the month. In fact, “Let’s Write About It” will hint to each next featured artist. Can you guess who it is this month?

Both of these events also now start at 7pm so we can share our summer nights together supporting our local artists, live music, and community.
