The Creation Circle
A small, intensive working group
(maximum ten people)
for accomplished professionals who are ready to finally prioritize creative work.
The Three Stages of Creation
Play
The stage of ideation—defining the project, generating without judgment, learning to follow sparks of creation before the critical machinery engages. For when you don’t yet have a clear idea or need to exercise the creative muscle before starting something new.
Create
The sustained work of making something: showing up, failing, continuing anyway. The stage in which the inner critic is loudest and the temptation to abandon is strongest. This is where most people need the most support.
Release
The stage almost no one prepares for: what happens when a work is finished, or when it has reached a dead end. Creative grief is real and requires release, and disorientation is normal when a work has reached successful completion. In either case, rest and recovery are essential before the next project can begin. The Creation Circle is one of the very few spaces that takes this stage as seriously as the others so that you can go on to create the next project, and the next, and the next.
What's included
9 Live Group Sessions over 3 Months
90 minutes each, held online, maximum ten participants. Somatic practice with live improvised cello, direct work on what each person is navigating in their stage of creation, and feedback practices.
Most accomplished people are far more exacting with themselves than they would ever be with a friend or co-worker. In The Creation Circle's feedback practice, you will hear yourself give another member exactly the kind of clear, generous, specific support that your own work needs as nourishment.
One 1:1 session per month
75 minutes with me for your work in progress where we examine where you are, what the project needs, and what you need to get your work done.
You can schedule your 1:1 sessions at any time during the 3 months and up to 90 days after the last group session. When you register, you'll receive a link to book your sessions.
Full access to the Creation Circle Library
Audio modules across the three stages, each combining guided practice with improvised cello music. Available between sessions in the moments when you need support outside the group.
