We Begin September 20
The Creative Sessions 2020
A mastermind for hungry creatives, change-makers and entrepreneurs
The Creative Sessions is an 8-week group journey for womxn who are ready to make real progress with their dream project and who are looking for support, accountability and sisterhood along the way.
During our two months together, we work in a small group of 4-6 women and we bring all we’ve got to the table. Our ambitions, our challenges, our knowledge and our deep love for the work.
We make sure you always know what your next right step is, so that you can take it. One step at a time, we will make it happen.
What’s required of you is your willingness to show up and do the work. Come as you are and make full use of this safe and powerful accelerator. This is your longed-for opportunity to fully commit to your dream.
“The Creative Sessions was exactly what I needed to unlock my clarity, my inspiration and let go of my crappy fears! It was perfect. Being able to email you personally was so precious. Having you read my poems was a tremendous step forward and your advice was much needed and very thoughtful. And I learned so much from the others, both from sharing their journey and from their feedback on my work. Thank you, Anna!”
Isabelle Lemay, Canada
You will get brilliant ideas, new perspectives, tools and hacks to help you do your work. Together we will create traction and breakthroughs. We’ll support each other’s visions, hold each other accountable, and midwife each others work.
This is not some pie in the sky promise of quick wins. It’s all about the simple fact that if you do the work, you will move your dream towards completion. This group is about helping and supporting you to do the work.
I’m intentionally keeping the structure as simple as possible, with the bare minimum of components. No overwhelm, no information overload. Just focused work, zooming in on the things that will make the biggest difference for you, and tailor-made support all the way.
What you get:
- 8 weekly live group calls. These calls are our opportunity to check in, follow up on last week’s work and to zoom in on the direction for the coming week. Since I keep the group small and intimate, there will be time for individual feedback for each participant, every time. A recording of the calls will be made available afterwards, should you miss one.
- Hands-on help from me. Want me to look at your business plan, edit that important blog post*, or brainstorm ideas for a new offering with you? My expertise is at your disposal. *Editing help is limited as to number of pages.
- A private online classroom and forum just for us (not on Facebook!), where we can stay in touch in between the calls, share our ups and downs, show off what we’re working on, get feedback and ask quick questions.
- Lifetime access to the Creative Doer community, my vibrant community for creative womxn from all over the world, where you can stay on after the 8 weeks of the Sessions for continued support and inspiration.
- Email support in between our calls. Things that trip you up. Decisions you need to make. Work you need input on. I’m here for you.
Before our first group call, I will help you decide what project to focus on during our time together. It could be a long-time creative dream you want to pursue purely for the joy of it, it could be an entrepreneurial endeavour or anything in between.
Previous participants have worked on a first draft of their book, launched a new blog, created illustrations for a childrens’ book, built a subscriber list for their business, built an online course, and more.
You get my expertise, my experience, my eyes on your work, and you also get the support and input of a whole group of dedicated womxn on the same path as yourself (and that shit is invaluable).
“These months with you as a guide have been game changing – life changing – for me in a way I barely have words for. Thanks to your teachings and guidance, it seems like I’ve finally learned how to write in the midst of the everyday mess.”
Alma Milthers, Netherlands
“These sessions helped me immensly. Not only did it give me the courage to follow my heart, but helped me prepare for everything that comes along with it. When I face challenges, I can return to all the things we talked about, and I do so daily. Pure gold. Thank you!”
Maria Telenius, Sweden
Who we are looking for
You don’t need to be a professional creator to join, but this is not a mastermind for complete beginners. It’s for the womxn who is ready to go deeper and further with her heart’s work, and is willing to explore the powerful magic of working together with a small group of other creative womxn.
Who is it NOT for?
This group requires your full participation. You need to be highly motivated, willing to do the work and also willing to show up for your fellow creative sisters in the group. If you’re not ready or don’t have space for that level of commitment, this is not for you.
Do I need to know what work on in order to join?
You need to have an idea of what you want to achieve. From there I can help you zoom in until you have a concrete project to work on during our weeks together. We’re looking for something doable – because when it’s doable, it gets done. And we want to get work done here.
Are there no lessons or workbooks?
Nope. We have a beautiful and userfriendly online classroom, where you’ll find the forum, the recordings of our live calls and any resources we might use during our time together. But the sole focus here is the creative project of each participant. You will get individualized, tailor-made support to help you get to where you want to go, and sometimes this might include some homework, but there won’t be any compulsory reading or assignments beyond that. Every bit of effort is poured into your own creative work.
This is a mastermind, not a course – it’s a container for you to step into that will help you do your work with focus and clarity.
We focus on supporting you to take the next step, and then the next. It’s not about dreaming more, gathering more information, or figuring everything out – it’s about DOING the actual work.
When will the live calls take place?
The group calls will be scheduled on Sundays, starting September 20, at 7.30pm CET / 10.30am PST / 1.30pm EST / 5.30am NZST
The time works for America(s), Europe and Africa, but not Australia (due to timezone differences). If you live there and really want to join, send me an email on [email protected] and we’ll look into creating a separate group for your timezone.
Will I get one-on-one support from you?
Our group is small, just 4-6 womxn, so there will be time for individual mentoring for every participant, every group call. Between the calls, I’m available via email – if you want to talk through some roadblock, or if you want feedback on some aspect of your work, I’ll work with you on that. I’m also in the forum daily, for those quick questions and shares. So yes, you’ll get one-one-one support from me, but in a group setting.
We’ve tried doing it alone. Now let’s try another way. The energy and momentum created in a group of focused womxn who supports each other wholeheartedly will help you get to where you need to go – faster, smoother and with so much more joy. Promise.
“I have moved from wanting and longing to do this, to actually doing it. My website is up, the first pieces of writing completed and now I’m working on my next piece. All of that was done in the 8 weeks of the course. So I achieved not only what I set out to do, but I am continuing to write. The Creative Sessions really got me going – and I have been waiting to get started on this project for so many years!
Your accessibility was fantastic. You are very generous with your time and your responses to each email was thoughtful and helpful. Your expertise around writing, editing and your sensitivity and the way you hold us accountable to our own goals has given me such a solid foundation to build on as I continue my writing.”
Sylvia K. Blood, New Zealand

“Anna, I’m 50. I have compromised for a very long time. And when I worked with you in the Creative Sessions, I reconnected with the old me – the little girl who sat in the attic and wrote and wrote and wrote. Now I’m completely terrified, but committed. There is no more time to waste.”
Shawna Jackson, USA
“I’m so grateful I got to make this journey with you. You’ve helped me bring my creativity back to life, structure my thoughts, and got me making active decisions again. Big changes have happened in my life, in a way I could never have imagined. I’ve gone on a long trip without my kids, decided to go back to school again, learning a profession I love! Big changes in my world! I’ve found my way back to my creative self. A million thanks!”
Andrea Önnermark, Sweden
“For me, the Sessions were invaluable. The support coupled with the tools you have created really supported me. I was able to create a bigger container for myself and my work, and follow it with less of a forceful will and more allowing. My experience was so nourishing and supportive.”
Andrea Atherton, USA
