The Atelier
A creative sanctuary to replenish your inner well
Year-round creative practice membership filled with our workshops, creativity practices, discounts, and more!
You give deeply, and from a place of care - to your work, to your family, to your community, to the change you want to see in the world.
But maybe lately, you’ve noticed a quiet ache. That feeling of being a little disconnected from yourself. Your energy feels scattered. Time for yourself slips through the cracks.
You move through your days on autopilot, doing what’s needed - but not necessarily what nourishes you. You tell yourself you’ll rest when things calm down - yet they rarely do. You wonder when you lost your spark and would like to get back to yourself, but the thought alone stresses you out. When? How??
The Atelier was created as a soft landing place. An antidote to the pace of life under extractive capitalism and the patriarchy. A rhythm, a refuge/sanctuary, a reminder that tending your own inner well is also essential. You’re invite to pause, to breathe, and to come home to your creative rhythm again.
Here, creativity isn’t about output or productivity.
It’s about reconnection - with yourself, with others, with what makes you feel alive. It’s the medicine that helps you remember who you are.
What you’ll find inside
A gentle, ongoing structure and resources to support your creative and emotional wellbeing - without pressure, performance, or burnout.
✨ Twice-monthly live “Creativity Practices”
Gentle 60-minute sessions where we come together to work on our creative projects or simply play. You can paint, write, knit, or simply sit with your tea and daydream. We open with a check-in, then fall into quiet, companionable flow. (Look up body-doubling, it really works!)
🎨 All Our Workshops
Our self-paced workshops are always available for you to go through, once or multiple times. Every quarter, we add at least one additional workshop that will be free for you to participate in live, or in your own time.
🌿 The Resource Library
An ever-growing collection of micro-practices, guided meditations and creative prompts to inspire you - available anytime you need a spark or a moment of restoration. Return to your favourite practices, or try something new - always at your own pace. We’ll be adding to it regularly.
🌸 Seasonal Reflection Guides
Every few months, receive a lovingly designed digital guide with gentle prompts, poems, and small creative rituals to mark the turning of the seasons. These will support you in exploring where you are and what’s evolving in your life.

When you refill your own well, everything you touch benefits.
The Atelier is your space to pause, play, and replenish — so your creativity can flow again, softly and steadily.
Look Inside the Atelier
Rhythm & Flow
The Atelier follows the rhythm of the year, with natural pauses built in. We rest mid-December to mid-January and again from mid-July to mid-August, honouring cycles of hibernation and renewal. You’ll always have access to all of our self-paced content, so the well never runs dry - even when we collectively slow down. After the intentional pause, our collective rhythm with live offerings will begin soon again.
When it comes to what is good for us, most rely on willpower. The willpower to sit down and write. The discipline to do it day after day. Research however has shown that this can only get you so far. As James Clear said, a global expert on habits, “you do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems”.
Thinking we will ‘rise’ to our goals is what a reliance on willpower looks like. Building supportive structures and gently aligning our habits with our aspirations is how we actually get results (and get to be a whole lot less harsh on ourselves in the process).
The Atelier is built with this in mind, to offer you a soft place to land, and a supportive infrastructure that helps you stay true to your commitments, without over-extending or having to ‘discipline’ yourself. You will receive regular prompts and reminders, nudging you to stay committed, be offered guidance from our incredible teachers, and invited to show up to create live with us up to twice a month. Body doubling is a strategy recommended to ADHDers that truly works for anyone, and we’re not too proud to leverage it!
Do you crave…?
Gentle structure to keep your creative spark alive
Practices that restore rather than deplete
Support to flow with the seasons
A slower, more sustainable creative life
Then the Atelier was created with you in mind.
No pressure. No performance. Just a return to what nourishes, to what matters.
The Atelier is for you if you:
◆ Feel disconnected from your creativity and long to rekindle it
◆ Crave time and space that’s just for you — gentle, unhurried, nourishing
◆ Want to make art, write, move, or create without pressure or comparison
◆ Seek a community that values depth, care, and authenticity over hustle
You don’t need to call yourself an artist. You just need a spark — and a willingness to follow it.
What it isn’t
The Atelier isn’t about productivity, perfection, or building a portfolio.
It’s not a coaching program or a performance space.
It’s a living studio - where creativity becomes a practice of care.

"The workshop was a blessing for body, mind, and soul. And also surprising: the art process helped bring what was hidden in my heart to the surface and I was able to express it. Afterwards I had so much energy that I still felt the need to go out into nature and dance!"

"The experience was unexpected and transformative. It changed my state of being completely and at the end I felt intensely alive! This atelier offered a form of expression I definitely want to continue to explore."

Why we created The Atelier
We live in demanding times. As changemakers, artists, and caretakers of people and planet, it’s easy to pour from our wells faster than they can refill. To put ourselves at the very bottom of the to do list. And yet, when we go down the path that leads to burnout, we don’t only hurt ourselves and our health, we also lose the very things that made us a great caretaker or changeworker in the first place: our spark, our power, our creativity.
All our workshops and Journeys have the same goal: to help you reclaim those things. To rekindle your creativity, so that you can meet life with agency once again. So that you can feel alive, rather than like you’re living life on autopilot.
The Atelier was born as a soft, ongoing space — a rhythm of returning — to nourish your creative spirit and support your wellbeing.
Here, creativity isn’t another task on your list. It’s how you come home to yourself.
I would love to be on this journey with you 🤍

Why it matters
Because you can’t pour from an empty cup — and you shouldn’t have to.
Many changeworkers, artists, and helpers have learned to give endlessly, but not how to replenish. The Atelier is a practice of remembering that your creativity and wellbeing are not luxuries - they are foundations.
When you nurture yourself, your ideas and contributions flow more freely.
When you create from ease, your work ripples further.
This isn’t self-indulgence.
It’s self-sustainability — and a quiet act of resistance in a world that profits from our exhaustion.
Join The Atelier. Refill your well. Reconnect to your creative rhythm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to be an artist or creative professional?
Not at all. The Atelier is for anyone who feels the pull to reconnect with their creativity — whether that’s painting, journaling, cooking, writing, or simply living more intentionally.
What if I can’t join the live sessions?
That’s okay! The Creativity Practices are here to support you to show up for your creative process, if that helps you. They’re optional :) Joining a workshop live can be a great experience, but if you can’t make it you’ll be able to go through the self-paced version too. The Resource Library and seasonal guides are always available, so you can stay inspired at your own pace.
Will it take a lot of time?
No. The Atelier is designed to fit gently into your life - not add more pressure. Two optional live sessions a month, practices you can do anytime, and quarterly workshops you can tune into if you wish.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, you can cancel your monthly membership anytime. We trust you to honour your rhythm, and you can rejoin when it feels right. If you joined on a yearly basis, you can cancel anytime so your membership won’t renew at the end of your membership.
Why do you take seasonal breaks?
Because rest is part of the creative process. Those pauses are intentional - a collective invitation to slow down, reflect, and integrate.
You're probably not a numbers person
And we don't do anything for the money around here, but we did the math so you don't have to. When you join, here's what you get:
4 new workshops a year: 4x35=140€
6 self-paced workshops: 6x35=210€
30+ Creativity Practices a year: >330€
4 seasonal reflection guides: 4x20=80€
10 resources and practices: 10x10=100€
>5 new resources a year: >5x10=50€
= >900€ of value
Without mentioning the other member perks, such as 25% off all journeys and >15€ off 60min 1-1 sessions.
Plus, if you join yearly, you'll get a bonus self-paced journey on top (which cost 100-255€)! Seems like a no-brainer to us (and a poor financial decision to our accountant). We're really committed to seeing this work ripple out into the world and become a part of your daily life rather than something you engage with once a year, so we're very committed to putting the Atelier out there in this way 🤍
