What we’re about
If you want to stay in the loop and you are someone who needs reminders of what's going on, get on the newsletter list at www.innerlightbotanicals.com where I communicate about what's going on the most.
We are here to discover ways to explore our inner and outer landscapes, to express ourselves through writing and art as free spirits, to understand and value our emotional health, set foundations for practice, and to grow and hold space as a community.
We’ll explore the world of Rituals & Routines (R&R) to develop and grow our own personal practices in connection with community, creativity and nature.

Back of book:
From Amie McNee, the voice behind Inspired to Write, a manifesto on the vital, human importance of creating, with guidance for all artists in all endeavors, whether they're starting their journey or seeking a fresh perspective.In We Need Your Art,Amie McNee calls artists and aspiring artists of all kinds to do the work they’re meant to do: create.
Using her own experiences as a novelist and the inspiration she’s shared as a creative coach, Amie guides you on why we need your art and how you can make it happen—starting with a two-week reset plan to help you kick-start your creative habit. This isn’t about writing your great novel in a month or painting a masterpiece in a flurry of inspiration. Rather, this process is about practicing small, sustainable creative steps every day over time—five hundred words of writing each day, a pencil sketch every evening—so that you avoid burnout, produce consistent, reliable content on your own terms, and begin to see yourself as an artist.
With frank and empowering conversations on the many issues creatives face, including impostor syndrome, perfectionism, procrastination, and the inner critic, as well as invitations to coronate yourself and celebrate your ambition, Amie provides the framework and encouragement you need to begin to take your art seriously. Each chapter also includes journal prompts that help you apply what you have learned to your new life.
We Need Your Art is a revolutionary reprogramming of everything we have been taught and told about being a creative, removing the shame and fear we may feel at dubbing ourselves artists and inviting us to create proudly, with celebration. This book is a warm hug, a pep talk, the wise teacher you always wanted, the loving parent you needed, and the fire in your belly that you need to get roaring.
