Create against the Machine: Build a consistent creative practice in just 5 weeks!
77€ Early Bird Pricing
Tap into your Human Nature for Effortless Creativity!
We live in a world where machines have transformed so many parts of our daily lives—from washing our clothes and preparing our food to managing our schedules, communicating, and now even generating creative work.
While these tools can make life easier, they have also changed our relationship with creativity. We’ve outsourced many creative processes and by doing so lost touch with something deeply human: our effortless, natural ability to create.
Create Against the Machine invites you to reconnect with your innate creativity by helping you build a consistent creative practice – one that enriches your life, nourishes your soul, and brings you back to what it means to create.
Does this sound familiar?
- You keep telling yourself you’ll start tomorrow.
- You have ideas, but struggle to turn them into action.
- You’re tired of the cycle of excitement, procrastination, and guilt.
- You know creativity makes you feel alive, but you can’t seem to make space for it.
- You’re looking for accountability without pressure, and community without competition.
- You don’t need more information—you need a practice that actually sticks.
If you found yourself nodding along, Create Against the Machine was made for you.
“Create against the Machine” is a 5-week, in-person group experience designed to help you build a sustainable creative practice.
Together, we will harness the power of community, consistency and clear intention, so it can carry you all the way through 2026 and beyond!

Over the course of 5 weeks, we’ll create a supportive space to help you establish a creative practice that feels sustainable, joyful, and rooted in your everyday life.

Each week you’ll receive a practical assignment designed to strengthen your creative practice and help you move through resistance, self-doubt, or procrastination. We’ll reflect on these experiences together during our Sunday sessions.
Weekly time commitment
- One Sunday session (2–3 hours)
- Five 20-minute creative practice sessions during the week
Who is this for?
This course is for adults of all ages and backgrounds. It’s for anyone who wants to build a regular, intentional practice around something that matters to them—whether that’s painting, writing, gardening, tarot reading, posting consistently on social media, or any other pursuit.
Whether you’re an experienced creative looking for accountability or someone who’s been meaning to start “one day,” you’re welcome here. The only requirement is a genuine commitment to showing up for your practice.
And, this is a space for people who understand the importance of creating and contributing to a safe, respectful, and supportive community.
By the end of the 5 weeks…
You’ll have practical tools, supportive habits, and first-hand experience of maintaining a consistent creative practice—one that helps you move toward your creative goals throughout the year.
Create against the Machine will help you transform inspiration into tangible, realistic action steps and build a practice that nourishes your creativity, your wellbeing, and perhaps even your livelihood.
