Creative Beans
A unique & bespoke 12-week creative mentoring program for musicians, writers, and artists who are ready to get unstuck, stop procrastinating & start finishing albums, EPs, artwork & new bodies of work, through a tailor-made plan prioritising shared accountability, regular feedback & support.
Is this you?
I have plenty of ideas for new projects/concepts but find it hard to follow these plans through or even simply get them off the ground.
I feel held back and hindered by perfectionism, procrastination or indecision.
I am sometimes unsure how to represent myself authentically.
The inner censor can get the better of me and sometimes prevents me from getting down to the work I dream of making.
I would love to create a visual accompaniment to my music output, such as imagery (painting, illustration) or video/animation.
I want to build a creative vision for my work, and honour it by seeing it through to completion, bringing it into reality.
If one or more of these got you yelling ‘hell yes!’ then book a chemistry call with me, now, to talk through grand plans, big dreams & see if we could do some exciting work together.
So, you want to do this…
…how does it work?
We kick off this exciting process together with an initial, collaborative session to co-create a 12 week program, especially geared towards your creative goals and big ideas. This inspiring action-plan will stretch & excite you, motivating you through practices and a set of goals to see a seismic transformation in your creative output and endeavours.
At the heart of this plan will be a shared & nourishing, hands-on commitment to help you to develop your own voice and nurture your creativity through;
Weekly 1 hour sessions, online or in person (12 in total)
Mon-Friday Discord support to throw ideas back and forth and encourage open discourse and feedback.
An immersive, creative day halfway through the program, where we meet in London & spend the afternoon visiting galleries and museums, getting inspired & talking all things creative!*
Weekly homework tasks and exercises.
A bespoke practice plan that harnesses your creative goals.
Access to supporting resources- videos, playlists, documents- to reinforce & support your creativity.
*only available on the ‘full beans’ package. If it is not feasible for you to come to London, we will have an online listening/chatting session
Completing a new body of work, album or EP.
Building a visual language and aesthetic to accompany & compliment your music through illustration or animation.
Exploring new artistic pathways/ventures; a project, creative approach or collaboration you want to get off the ground
Exploring what your creative practice might actually look like and building up confidence within this.
Establishing a sustainable & nourishing creative practice that fits into your daily routine & commitments. Encouraged to prioritise a practice that is not only goal orientated but geared towards a long-term plan, to take forward into the next chapter of your artistic life.
Over the course of the Creative Beans Program I will help you to build a creative tool kit, full of practices & techniques to enable your artistic voice to speak freely and authentically.
Together we will dive wholeheartedly into exercises to explore and instil new skills, wherever you may be on your creative journey;
What can I hope to achieve during our time together ?
