THE WILD WITHIN

A six-month group program to bring a creative project to life.

Looking up at tall green bamboo stalks and leaves, with sunlight filtering through the canopy.

Every one of us has an “artist in residence,” a small or burning creative fire that longs to be expressed.

Maybe it’s putting paint on canvas, writing memoir or short stories, or opening your voice in song.

Whatever form this longing takes, it is energy, your life force and wholeness, asking to be set free.

Sure, you might “get to” this life force later.

Or you can awaken your own wildness now, in supportive community. Feel your life come more fully alive.

“To speak of wilderness is to speak of wholeness. Human beings came out of that wholeness.”
— Gary Snyder

I know, you know, you have something to say.

And yet, you’ve had all kinds of reasons for not pursuing your artistic dreams. 

Raising kids and tending family. Paying the bills. Growing your career. 

You haven’t had the energy or time. 

Alongside your creative murmurings, there may be other voices, too. Voices that say things like: 

I’m not good enough. 
Who cares? 
It’s too late. 

I’ve worked with hundreds of people from all walks of life who faced seemingly insurmountable creative challenges or blocks. 

I’ve heard it all. And it makes sense. 

Expressing a part of yourself that’s been neglected or hidden is vulnerable.

Stretching into new terrain takes courage and healthy risk. 

You might think: what’s the point? 
But you might also think: what if I don’t? 

What if I live out my life with this part of me unexpressed? 

You can feel the shrink of disappointment. The regret. 

You’re not alone. 

I’ve created The Wild Within for us, for you. 

WHAT TO EXPECT

A sense of creative completion.

Over six months, we’ll work within a skillfully curated container to claim our true, wild voices. We’ll work individually and with the support of a group to bring an artistic aspiration to life.

Throughout our time together you can expect to: 

  • Identify the barriers and limiting beliefs that have kept you from creating

  • Choose a single passion project (or elements of a larger project) to bring to life

  • Clarify an achievable project scope within the given timeframe

  • Work with tools and techniques to cultivate and maintain momentum

  • Pair with an accountability buddy for mutual cheerleading and support

  • Launch your project, whether that’s a performance, pushing “publish,” or something else

  • Celebrate!

Each six-week container includes:

  • Weekly group sessions, 6-8 pm PST (online)

  • Two in-person group sessions

  • Two one-on-one sessions with me (in person or online)

Registration for The Wild Within opens spring 2027. Add your name to be notified by email.
