Rediscover Yourself through Rhythm
Lotic Labs is the creative sandbox of Jillian Votava.
This is a space
to play
to swirl
to ebb and flow…
“Do not push the river, she flows all by herself”
Discover, Create, Play
Creativity is a way of being. Whether through rhythm circles, creative movement, or guided soundscapes,
I facilitate an environment where you can play and (re-)discover something about yourself along the way.
My approach is rooted in Experiential Education, where play isn’t just fun, it’s intentional variety designed to open your mind and spark fresh ideas.
Let’s create together, grow together, and build a community where creativity flows freely.

I take inspiration from the river herself: she is both the flowing water, never the same drop twice, and the shore banks that create her signature shape.

“a very moving experience”
“I recently had Jillian lead a rhythm workshop as part of a women’s retreat I ran. My guests were totally thrilled with the experience in every way. I could see them begin with some hesitation and nerves, and then gradually build their confidence and surprise themselves with how great they sounded by the end. Jillian is great at taking even then complete novice and building the skills and experience step by step - I was so impressed with how she brought it all together. Several of my guests took me aside afterward and said that she was perfect and that it was a very moving experience for them. Highly recommend!”
