What if creativity, wellness, and community didn’t have to live in separate spaces? Check out this interview where ECC founder, Liz Kovarsky joined Dr. Lisa Belisle on Radio Maine to explore a new model for creativity, wellness, and community connection. As a trained social worker, artist, and educator, Liz created Electric Cottage Collective as a shared, embodied space that brings together creative coworking, arts practice, and wellness—challenging the ways modern culture often separates mind from body. Drawing on her background in social work, art education, and movement practices like dance and yoga, she shares how her own experiences of burnout and disconnection led her to imagine a more accessible, community-centered approach to healing and creativity. At the heart of her work is the idea of “practice over perfection,” emphasizing process, mutual aid, and collective care over productivity or profit. Grounded in Maine’s strong sense of place and community, Electric Cottage Collective offers sliding-scale, scholarships and inclusive programming that invites people to show up as whole humans.
