Depth & Imagination

A Guided Creative Immersion

Begins January 25, 2026

A four-week, small-group experience for people who want more honesty and imagination in their creative life.

This cohort begins on Sunday, January 25, 2026 and ends on Saturday, February 21, 2026.

Applications are now open and reviewed on a rolling basis until the cohort is full.

You’re welcome to join from anywhere. I teach in Pacific Time, but the structure of this immersion allows you to move through the work at your own pace. This space is equally for experienced artists and those who have never considered themselves artists at all.

If you’re craving deeper creative space, this program offers a way to return to creative exploration with more clarity, perception, and imagination.

This is not a course in the usual sense. It’s a focused container where a small group of people explore creative process, subtle perception, emotional expression, and emerging imagery together.

Each week follows a simple pattern:

  • a guided practice, your own creative exploration, a short submission, and individualized video feedback from me.

  • You’ll also receive a personalized introduction video at the start, a 30-minute 1:1 session midway through, and a closing group call to integrate what you’ve discovered.

This is for you if you’re ready to slow down, pay attention, and engage your creativity from a more grounded and imaginative place.

Week 1: Creative Reset & Foundations of Perception

We begin by grounding our attention, noticing patterns, and reconnecting to the felt sense of making. We’ll explore Creative Reset work alongside perceptual practices that open the inner field.

Week 2: Expression Through Drawing & the Inner Field

This week focuses on emotional expression through movement, gesture, and line. We also begin sensing the subtle space behind the work, learning to listen and respond. (1:1 calls happen in Week 2 or Week 3.)

Week 3: Active Imagination Foundations

A shift beneath the surface. We’ll explore simple active imagination practices to meet symbolic imagery and the intelligence of the inner image.

Week 4: Image Development & Integration

The final week brings everything together. We’ll follow an emerging image through development, work with subtle shifts, and clarify themes and directions for ongoing practice. (Closing Group Session: 60 minutes.)

Who This Is For

This immersion is designed for people who:

  • feel disconnected from their creative practice and want a way back in

  • are tired of performative creativity and want something that feels true to who they are

  • sense imagery and ideas under the surface but don’t know how to access it

  • want guidance without being overwhelmed by materials or critique

  • are curious about perception, subtle awareness, and imaginative work

  • want an intimate, honest creative container with accountability and personal support

You do not need to be an experienced artist, only a willingness to show up for yourself each week.

What You Can Expect

  • A grounded approach that supports real creative depth

  • A steady weekly structure that keeps you engaged without overwhelm

  • Clear, honest feedback that helps you see your own work more fully

  • A small, intentional container where you’re seen, supported, and challenged

  • Practices that move you out of performance mode and into genuine expression and exploration

This is not about producing polished pieces. It’s about discovering what’s beneath the surface and learning to follow it.

Time Commitment

Expect 1–3 hours per week with assignments that are intentionally flexible and accessible. If life gets busy, you can always scale the work to what you’re able to give.

Investment

$300 USD - This includes all weekly practices, personalized feedback, personalized welcome video, 30-minute 1:1 session, and 60-minute closing group call.

How to Apply

Because this is a small, intentional group, a short application is required to ensure that our time together is valuable.

What This Immersion Is (and Isn’t)

This immersion is:

  • a guided creative arc

  • a perceptual + imaginative exploration

  • weekly light-touch personalized feedback

  • a small, honest, supportive group container

  • a way to deepen your attention and discover emerging imagery

This immersion is not:

  • high-touch coaching

  • daily check-ins

  • detailed critique of every piece you make

  • therapy or emotional processing work

  • a technical art class

This clarity helps ensure the experience is aligned for everyone involved.

My Guarantee:

This is a labor of love and I stand behind the experience it offers. If within the first 7 days of the program you feel it isn’t the right fit, you can email me for a full refund minus payment processing fees.
