7pm - 9pm on Zoom with recording
This is a workshop for creatives who procrastinate because they’re convinced everyone else is doing it better — and yes, I’ve been there, and still visit sometimes. The difference now isn’t that the stories stopped appearing. It’s that my relationship to them changed, and so what happens next can be different.
We’re not stupid. When we’re in a good space, we know these are just stories. No one needs a workshop to be told that. The problem is that intellectual knowing doesn’t stop the stories from showing up — and it doesn’t stop them from running the show when they do. So what actually helps?
This workshop is experiential, using folktales, storytelling, and guided inquiry to seeand notice how stories shape our inner lives and creative choices.
Rather than analysing or reframing our self-talk, we’ll pay attention to our relationship with these stories: how quickly we believe them, brace against them, or organise our behaviour around them. As we learn how to catch them on the fly, something subtle but powerful happens — the stories may still be there, but they no longer have the same grip.
From this shift comes a new way of meeting creative work: less reactive, less tangled, and with more room for clarity, calm, and movement. Not because self-doubt is never there, but because it’s no longer in charge.
Suitable for writers, artists, and anyone engaged in creative practice.
