What we’re about
What is Creative Joy?
Creative Joy is all about finding your joy back in whatever you are creating. At the events, you'll learn how to find that joy that drew you to creativity in the first place and find out how to balance your life so your creativity feeds your happiness.
How do we meet and what happens at the events?
Our online events provide people the opportunity to meet other creatives and learn how to find more joyful ways to approach your creativity and finish your creative projects.
Who should join?
If you've found yourself here, then maybe it's you who should join. This group isn't just for creatives who are wanting to earn a living from their creativity, it's for anyone who wants to draw, paint, make, write or play.
How much to join?
Nothing at this stage! Totally free for you to jump in the sandpit and create with the rest of us
Who's running the group?
Meg Dunley is a creativity coach, writer, editor and amateur artist. Meg runs writing retreats and workshops in person and online. She loves seeing creatives getting stuck into their work. Meg's training as a mindset coach provides her the ability to help you unlock any of those limited beliefs (ah...hello, Imposter Syndrome!), trapped emotions (guilty as charged) and roadblocks (time, time, time, where is the time to create?!).
You can find out more about Meg over [here](Learn how to find that joy in your creative pursuits that drew you to creativity in the first place and find out how to balance your life so your creativity feeds your happiness. )
