Accompanying Fear Through Creativity
$125.00 – $400.00
Do you wish you could express yourself with more authenticity, but do you shudder with fear at the prospect? Instead of freely expressing, do you sometimes find yourself insulating yourself inside of a little ball, so tightly curled that you can’t breath?
Investigating the FEAR circuit in relation to creativity allows us to see our self (and the layers of insulation we’ve created) more clearly. This exploration will create room for new and fresh creative exploration, fewer crippling backlashes of fear and shame, and a confident sense of what your vast creative territory actually contains.
Experience what’s possible when you explore and create within a resonant and welcoming space that honors the uniqueness of your truth and your voice in this 6-session series dedicated to creative process and exploration.

- Offer a resonance exercise or demonstration to support the movement toward free expression
- Continue with a second free writing period
- Create space for sharing and resonant responses to each other’s work
The classes will be recorded for participants in many time zones.

Who Is This Course For?
This Course Includes 1:1 Resonant Support
Get assistant support during classes – experience resonant support from experienced practitioners when you need it during class times. Often, this work can have unexpected depth and touch on deeply held subconscious awareness and pain. Getting support when we need it most helps participants to integrate, regulate, and have a felt experience of the transformative power of resonance.

- This work is not therapy and is not a substitute for therapy. If you have a sense that you would be destabilized by yourself or others speaking about difficult events, then this course may not be for you. While we hope that the processes and information that we share can be of use in your journey, we do not have the resources to support extreme psychological difficulties.
While staying safe in an insulated little ball is a survival strategy shared by many of us, the truth is that we are just not able to create most powerfully and effectively when we are so totally protected. This is because when we are afraid, we guard ourselves against trying new things, finding our authenticity, and exploring edgy and important subjects.
Many of us believe that the territory that we occupy is much smaller than it actually is.
Investigating the FEAR circuit in relation to creativity allows us to see our self (and the layers of insulation we’ve created) more clearly. This exploration will create room for new and fresh creative exploration, fewer crippling backlashes of fear and shame, and a confident sense of what your vast creative territory actually contains.
Fear stops us from taking all kinds of risks in our art and creation. And this fear makes sense. For six weeks, we will work with our creativity to build a warmer relationship with our fear. A relationship that honors, recognizes, befriends, and accompanies our fear. A relationship that can unfreeze its grasp on us and lead us towards our birthright of creative freedom.
Together we will explore, with warm curiosity, some of what has happened in our past, such as: How have we been punished for our creativity? What makes us go to fear instead of play? In what ways are fear and shame intermingled inside of us? How are our voice and expression entangled with an anxiety around punishment and consequences?
Experience what’s possible when you explore and create within a resonant and welcoming space that honors the uniqueness of your truth and your voice in this 6-session series dedicated to creative process and exploration.
