OPAL SUITE

Opal Suite Membership Includes:

DRAWING ROOM

This one-hour weekly facilitated drawing class centers on observational drawing from life. Members investigate light, shade, composition, and texture with pencil, charcoal, ink, graphite or other materials that suit your drawing needs. Drawing everyday objects and lived-in scenes directly from their immediate surroundings, indoors or outdoors. Each session includes warm-up exercises and a longer sustained drawing period. The focus is on experimentation rather than final outcomes.




WRITING ROOM

Automatic writing is practiced during these sessions. It channels subconscious impulses by writing without conscious control or editing, surfacing unfiltered ideas and insights.    How it works: Facilitated sessions are 20 minutes online with minimal exchange: a brief breathwork launch, two short writing bursts, and silent integration—no sharing required. Group accountability supports regular practice, sustaining creative flow, emotional release, clarity, and stress reduction while building a regular, low-pressure writing practice.

READING ROOM

A one‑hour, bi-weekly, online reading and discussion session facilitated by Jessie Holmes brings participants together to explore selected texts. The atmosphere is conversational and inclusive, encouraging open dialogue and the exchange of ideas rather than formal instruction.
Every other week the hotel hosts an "open read" hour where members can come and share their writing of any kind. Writing may be completed or works in progress, published, unpublished, rough drafts, reminder notes or shopping lists are all welcome-
Joining without using voice or camera is always an option.

MEDITATION

Concurrent meditation, rest, or prayer. Participants practice their individual methods—breathwork, mantra, prayer, or stillness—without guidance or exchange. How it works: sessions run 25 minutes via video platform (cameras optional, all muted). 20 minutes are devoted to silent practice, with brief openings and closings from the facilitator to mark time. Participants may exit quietly anytime, gradually extending their practice.




LIBRARY AND RESOURCES

A living, member-curated archive supporting personal research and studio practice. Drawing from member recommendations, it brings together texts, references, and tools spanning contemporary art, care, theory, fiction, poetry and philosophy. As a work in progress, the library evolves through collective contribution and reference subjects that evolve alongside the community’s shared interests.




UTOPIA PARKWAY COMMUNITY HALL

Utopia Parkway Community Hall, our Discord channel where all members connect, to chat, network, meet new people, plan, share resources in real time—along with regular postings of upcoming hotel events and news. Named after Joseph Cornell's lifelong Queens home at 37-08 Utopia Parkway.
