JULY EVENTS & ARTIST TALKS
July 10 – 12
This immersive workshop centers on the Confluence Model of Storytelling, an integrative approach where the rivers of voice, text, gesture, and imagination flow together in dynamic relationship.
Perfect for aspiring storytellers and seasoned narrators alike. Weave compelling tales that resonate with your audience, using the rich tapestry of language, vocal dynamics, expressive movement, and boundless creativity.
July 18 – 19
The Alchemy Blueprint is a powerful two-day immersive experience designed to help you break free from old patterns, reconnect with your intuition, and become the woman you’re meant to be. Through NLP, hypnosis, and subconscious reprogramming, you’ll release limitations that have been running the show and build real, lasting confidence from the inside out.
This weekend is for any woman ready to stop repeating the same cycles and start creating change that actually sticks.
Join artist and professor, Edward Bakst, on a journey through his creative and artistic process of discovery.

Land Acknowledgement
The Arts Society of Kingston respectfully acknowledges that we gather and create on the ancestral homelands of the Esopus people, a subgroup of the Lenape (Delaware) Nation. Long before Dutch colonization, the Esopus lived in villages along the Hudson River and its tributaries, including the Rondout Creek, where they farmed, fished, and stewarded the land.
As a cultural organization rooted in Kingston’s waterfront district, we are committed to learning from this history and to fostering relationships, dialogue, and programming that reflect respect for Indigenous communities and the land on which we gather.
