work with me

lauren is sitting in the woods, with trees behind them. they are wearing a dusty-green hat, a gold fairy ear cuff, a gold necklace, glasses, and a blue and black flannel shirt. they are smiling.

i offer workshops and one-on-one support for artists through my project, reinventing creative process. these offerings are designed to support creators in finding more embodied, pleasurable and emotionally safe ways to create. to help guide artists to these types of creative processes, i offer meditations, mindfulness practices, breathwork, embodiment and somatic practices, parts work and IFS (internal family systems) frameworks, journaling and drawing prompts, dance experiments, and exploratory creative exercises. reinventing creative process is virtual.

i would love to teach these workshops or workshops on related topics at other organizations, both in person and virtual. i have previously offered workshops at naropa and in collaboration with andré hoilette at lighthouse writers workshop in denver.

Offerings for Individuals and collaborators

Creative Process Guide

If you are curious about shaking up and reinventing your creative process, I can support you as a Creative Process Guide. We’ll take a close look at your current process to identify new ways of relating to your art-making practice. We will consider how access needs, creative fear and doubt, internalized capitalism/colonialism, and disconnection from playfulness and pleasure might be creative prompts within themselves. We will focus on how you create your art in ways that are more accessible, more embodied, more playful, and safer. We will begin with 5 sessions together, with the option to add more sessions as needed. This offering is for individuals or collaborators who are working together often.

5 sessions: sliding scale $375-875

Creative Project Guide

As a Creative Project Guide, I work with artists who are feeling blocked, overwhelmed or fearful about a current creative project. We’ll discuss the project in depth and your process up until this point. Then, we’ll open to the current of your creativity, seeking ways to allow flow, playfulness and pleasure to guide your project. I will work with you directly on your project, helping you to both keep the project’s heartbeat in mind while reminding you that projects must evolve and shift as they are born. For this offering, we will begin with 5 sessions together, with the option to add more sessions as needed. I will read/view your project twice within these five sessions – once prior to the first session to help guide our conversations, and once after the fourth session. In the fifth session, I will offer feedback, questions, and notes to help support you and the project as you continue creating it. This offering is for individuals or for collaborators who are working on a project together.

5 sessions + 2 rounds of feedback on your project from lauren: sliding scale $400-900*

*Please note, the slightly higher price for creative consulting is to factor in the 2 rounds of feedback lauren will provide you on your current creative project.
