Workshop: The Myth of the Block

$0.00

A somatic and mindfulness workshop on what's actually stopping your creative work.

Imposter syndrome. Perfectionism. Procrastination. We treat these as character flaws or creative problems to think our way out of. They're not. They're patterns (behavioural, neurological, and deeply embodied) that form in response to real experience and real threat.

This workshop looks honestly at what creative blocks are made of: the nervous system states that make starting feel dangerous, the perfectionism that protects against exposure, and the identity stories that calcify into habit. Using mindfulness practices drawn from MBSR, Polyvagal-informed somatic awareness, and the behavioural science of habit formation, participants move from self-diagnosis to something more useful: a practical, body-based understanding of how their patterns formed, and what it actually takes to shift them.

The goal isn't to eliminate the inner critic. It's to stop letting it make the decisions.

Format: Single workshop (2–3 hrs) or half-day | In person or remote

Best for Artist residencies, MFA programs, conservatories, organizations, writing communities, and creative cohorts.
