Creative life doesn't have to be chaos.
The myth of the mad genius is hopelessly out of date. Let's reimagine the possibilities for a balanced, productive creative life.
We'll identify our strengths and challenges and develop concrete strategies to enhance both our sanity and our art. Whether our biggest challenge is time, stress, focus, anxiety, disappointment, or the wear and tear of the workaday world, this weekend intensive will help.
Topics will include everything from targeted self-care strategies for creative people to professional and community resources that will help us get our best work done. We'll leave with a blueprint for living our most effective and positive creative life.
Friday 7/18, 4–6 pm PST / 7–9 pm EST Saturday 7/19 & Sunday 7/20 — 12–2 pm PST / 3–5 pm EST Enrollment: $225 early bird before May 15, $275 after

No, You're Not a Mad Genius.
Nor do you need to be! This weekend intensive is geared toward folks (that's most of us) who would benefit from a better balance of creative work and day-to-day life. We'll identify our strengths and challenges as they affect our creative, professional, and personal lives, target go-to habits that aren't working and trade them out for those that will, work on developing a healthier relationship with the creative process, and share tips and resources for a stronger, more sustainable long-term approach to creative working lives.
Register for the June session!
Join a community of creatives for an inspiring, supportive, and productive weekend of wellness.
