Week 1 — Recovering a Sense of Safety
We begin by creating a safe inner space for creativity. You’ll learn the foundations: Morning Pages, Artist Dates, and noticing your inner critic.
Week 2 — Recovering a Sense of Identity
Exploring who you are beneath roles and expectations. We start uncovering the creative self that may have been pushed aside.
Week 3 — Recovering a Sense of Power
Looking at what blocks us — guilt, shame, and old beliefs — and beginning to loosen their grip.
Week 4 — Recovering a Sense of Integrity
Where are you out of alignment with yourself? This week gently explores honesty, boundaries, and what truly matters to you.
Week 5 — Recovering a Sense of Possibility
Dreams, wishes, and long-forgotten desires come back into view. We start expanding what feels possible again.
Week 6 — Recovering a Sense of Abundance
Working with money fears, scarcity thinking, and self-worth. Learning how creativity grows when we loosen tight thinking.
Week 7 — Recovering a Sense of Connection
Reconnecting to others, inspiration, and the wider world. We explore how creativity thrives in relationship and community.
Week 8 — Recovering a Sense of Strength
Building resilience and self-trust. You’ll notice how much steadier your creative voice is becoming.
Week 9 — Recovering a Sense of Compassion
Letting go of perfectionism and harsh self-judgment. This week softens the process and deepens self-acceptance.
Week 10 — Recovering a Sense of Self-Protection
Learning how to protect your creative energy. We explore boundaries, time, and saying yes to what nourishes you.
Week 11 — Recovering a Sense of Autonomy
Standing in your own creative authority. Less second-guessing, more trust in your own direction.
Week 12 — Recovering a Sense of Faith
Reflecting on how far you’ve come and what comes next. A gentle closing week focused on sustaining the changes you’ve made.
