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. It is a reflection on her experience making a daily watercolor every morning for two years between 2019-2021 and a practical guide to get you started on your own creative practice.
 
About the book:
 
Expand your freedom and cultivate your creative expression through the wisdom of Divine Play. Learn how to shape a daily transformative creative practice that supports introspection, reflection and play. At the juncture of education x wellness, this simple little guide book inspires you and nurtures your mental and spiritual health.
 
Divine Play is “pure play” – it has no purpose other than experiencing joy and freedom.
 
 
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 various shops – the first to stock it was Cardinal Gift Shop in Brooklyn.
 
Melissa still sometimes places the booklets like Easter Eggs in various public spaces.
Her desire is that these little booklets keep circulating ad infinitum.
 
A spiritual chain of inspiration and illumination.
