What we’re about
Creativity is more than what we make—it’s how we live. Writing, painting, research, teaching, designing, thinking: all these forms of expression are sustained not just by talent or inspiration, but by the art of practice itself. The Art of Creative Practice is a space for writers, artists, academics, and thinkers of all kinds who want to deepen their relationship with their work, explore sustainable rhythms, and grow within a supportive community.
Here you’ll find a blend of practical structure and reflective depth. We host:
- Weekly Creative Flow Sessions: two-hour co-working gatherings where we write, think, sketch, or plan side by side.
- Group coaching sessions to help you clarify your goals, navigate blocks, and nurture a more resilient creative life.
- Meditation and contemplative practices to ground your imagination and connect creativity with inner stability.
- Special events and workshops from guest speakers to themed explorations of how creativity shows up across disciplines.
This group is for you if you’re seeking:
- A community of fellow creatives who understand both the exhilaration and the challenges of making.
- Support in finding a steadier, more sustainable rhythm for your practice.
- Inspiration and encouragement to keep moving forward.
- Space to reflect on creativity not just as output, but as an art form in itself.
Whether you’re just starting out or have been working for years, this group welcomes you. Here, we honour the process as much as the product, and believe that showing up for your creativity is itself a radical, beautiful act.

See all- Weekly Creative Flow SessionLink visible for attendees
A two-hour session designed to help you show up for your practice, make progress, and connect with a community of fellow creatives. These sessions are for writers, artists, academics, thinkers, and anyone who wants to nurture a sustainable creative routine.
What to expect:
- 15-minute check-in & input/exercise: We start with a brief grounding exercise, prompt, or discussion to set intentions and focus your energy.
- 90 minutes of focused co-working: Work on any project you choose: writing, painting, research, or something else entirely! We use the Pomodoro technique with short breaks to stay refreshed and motivated. (You can keep your camera on or off—whatever helps you maintain focus.)
- 15-minute sharing & reflection: We finish by coming together to share progress, insights, or challenges. This builds accountability and a sense of community over time.
These sessions are more than just co-working—they’re a way to grow a community of practice, where learning, making, and reflection happen together. Over time, this shared commitment strengthens your creative habits, provides inspiration, and connects you with like-minded practitioners who understand the challenges and joys of sustained creative work.
These sessions are completely free to join, because the goal is to create a welcoming, accessible space for anyone who wants to show up for their creative practice. If you find value in the sessions and want to support the community, you’re very welcome to make a small contribution via BuyMeACoffee or by becoming a paid subscriber to my Substack. Donations help cover costs for the group (e.g. Meetup and Zoom subscriptions, web hosting, etc.) and allow me to keep the focus on building a vibrant, inspiring space for all participants.
Come as you are, bring your current project, and leave feeling supported, motivated, and creatively energized.
