We are happy to offer you HIC ET NUNC- A Handbook For Experiencing Freedom
HIC ET NUNC (Here & Now) is a short handbook written by our founder Melissa Unger as reflection on her experience making a daily watercolor every morning. A practical guide, you’ll learn how to shape a daily transformative creative practice that supports introspection, reflection and play. At the juncture of education & wellness, this simple little guide book inspires your creativity and nurtures your mental and spiritual health.
In 2021, Melissa initially printed 20 copies of the handbook on standard copy paper and placed them in various ‘secret’ locations around NYC. Friends around the world, also placed a few in various locations in their respective cities & towns. In 2025, Melissa created a more enduring version of the booklet in a more traditional publishing format. It is available for purchase HERE and at Cardinal Gift Shop in Brooklyn.
Melissa still sometimes places the booklets in various public spaces. Her desire is that these little booklets keep circulating ad infinitum. A spiritual chain of inspiration and illumination.
