Why Creative Women Need a Circle Right Now
Share
When the world gets loud, our inner voice gets quiet
Between work, family, and the endless pull of other people’s needs, it’s easy to move our own creativity to the back burner. We promise ourselves we’ll make time “later,” and later rarely comes. What I’ve learned (the hard way) is this: we don’t just need more time, we need a ritual, a container, a circle.
Why a circle changes everything
Creating with others flips a switch:
-
Loneliness → Belonging. You’re not the only one who feels rusty, scattered, or perfection-stuck.
-
Decision fatigue → Gentle guidance. I’ll give you a simple prompt and structure so you can bypass the “where do I start?” spiral.
-
Perfectionism → Play. In this space, messy marks are celebrated. Your page becomes a place to exhale, not perform.
-
Inconsistency → Rhythm. Showing up monthly creates a steady heartbeat for your practice and your nervous system.
This is why I started Soulful Creative Circle: a cozy, two-hour live session where we gather, breathe, and make marks that feel like us. It’s not about technique trophies. It’s about remembering who you are.
What you can expect inside Soulful Creative Circle
When: Last Thursday evening of the month, 7-9 pm EST. Replay included
Where: Live on Zoom (camera on or off, come as you are)
Bring: Any journal or yummy paper, a few colors (paint/markers), a pen/pencil, and something to make loose marks. I love using Neocolors or another water-soluble pen.
Our flow:
-
Arrive & Ground: A short breath/reset so your brain can land.
-
Warm-Up Marks: Zero-pressure scribbles and textures to loosen your hand.
-
Prompt of the Night: A guided “art snack” you can finish in one sitting, think intuitive color, playful collage, or a motif exploration. Perfection not allowed!
-
Optional Share: If you want, hold up your page. We cheer for process, not perfection.
-
Reflect & Close: A brief note-to-self about what felt good and what you want more of this month.
FAQ quickies:
-
Do I need experience? Nope. Curiosity is enough.
-
Supplies? Whatever you have. Fancy is optional.
-
Replay? Yes. Can’t make it live? You’re still in.
-
I’m nervous I won’t “do it right.” There is no right - only honest and raw.
The real problem we’re solving - and how it feels to solve it
Most of us don’t lack creativity; we lack permission and structure. We’re drowning in noise, scrolling for inspiration while our hands stay still. The circle gives you:
-
Permission to be a beginner again.
-
A simple plan so you don’t spend your energy deciding.
-
A caring room so you feel brave enough to try.
-
A monthly rhythm so the spark doesn’t fade between “life happens” moments.
When you leave, expect: softer shoulders, a calmer mind, and pages that look like you. Expect to hear your inner voice a little louder than the world.
Why say yes to yourself (today)
Saying yes isn’t about adding more to your list. It’s about reclaiming a small corner of your life that belongs to your creative soul. Two hours a month is not indulgent, it’s maintenance for your spirit. And when you’re nourished, everything else you carry gets lighter.
