Listen Later

In this conversation, Dimitra speaks with Evgenia and Maria, the co-founders of The Community Club, about how their shared vision for connection and creativity gave rise to a unique social initiative. They explore how art-making in a group setting can provide emotional relief, foster authentic expression, and cultivate a deeper sense of community. The discussion highlights the value of process over perfection and the unexpected emotional benefits that arise when people are simply given the space to create. Their story offers a compelling look at how creativity, when combined with thoughtful design and human warmth, can become a vehicle for personal and collective transformation.
