DRX is a local interdisciplinary creative community that provides intellectual stimulation and creative energy to help you reach your dreams.

Apply and see if there is one in your area. If you are interested in starting a new location contact @drx_cc.

Here is how it works.  Get excited about a creative idea (Dream), present your idea to your local community (Exchange),  work on it for a month (Reach), then get back together and share what you have done (Exchange).  Then, do it all over again.  In a year you will be happy.  You will have stimulated your mind, accomplished projects, shared ideas, and met people.

Dream -> Exchange -> Realize -> Exchange

Do you have creative ideas that you never get around to try? Do you wish you just had the time learn something new in order to do something? Does exchange of a new idea thrill, excite and fuel you? Do you feel like months go by without opportunity to connect, express, and share ideas with other people. If you have the excited churning feeling as you read these questions then this may be for you.

The people who enjoy this sort of thing long for some creative intellectually stimulating outlet where they get to share with others.

Spouses and close friends are heavily encouraged to join the group together. You can help each other out to have your own DRX time. We want foster relationships.

Ideas long to be expressed and happiest when realized. The community provides a context for expression and realization. Creative energy flows as your idea tries to explain and present itself to the group. Accountability happens naturally as you are excited to share how the idea took shape. Knowing others are interested in what you will do in a month, you will enjoy that others are with you and you will have someone to share it with.

The ideas are based on a few longings:

• Ideas long for expression
• People long for connection
• Brains long for stimulation
• Creatures long for creativity

Do something for 30days and you can achieve...

During the sharing portion you give

• Background
• Why it is important
• Show what you did
• What you will show next time, specific goals

The relative topics are wide open, however the topics should be

• Creative, the DRX community should feel spurred
• Unique, will the DRX community learn something when you come back next time?
