Reigniting Your Creative Spark
The Art of Cracking Your Own Creative Code
with Liza Palmer and Eileen Cook
For so many of us, creativity felt like home.
It was not only where we found ourselves, but the playground where we let our hopes and dreams run wild. Creativity became the warm, crackling fire in the hearth that sustained us during life’s ups and downs.
But, what happens when it feels like the fire has gone out?
This gentle, but impactful workshop creates a map back home. A way to release the guilt, and embrace the joy of creativity.

Why We Can Help
We are multi-published, award winning, authors who have learned the hard way that creativity is a life-long journey that requires the courage to nurture your vulnerabilities as much as a commitment to craft.
Our workshops are accessible and relatable. A chance to have an pen and honest exchange of ideas about what it means to be artists in an authentic way. Participants leave with simple, deconstructed steps to guide them forward regardless of their starting point.
