Creative transformation requires radical action.
The Creative Way

You will benefit from this
program if you:

What to
Expect
Weekly
Meetings
Each week, we’ll meet virtually as a group for 75 minutes. You will have a chance to share - any challenges, insights, fears, discoveries - from that week’s lessons. Hannah & Anna will foster a supportive and curious group environment.
You will have access to a WhatsApp chat for continuous support and inspiration.
*Group meeting time will be determined based on participant’s availability
Individual
Coaching
You will be assigned a coach, either Anna or Hannah, from the onset of the program.
You will meet with your coach three times: before the program to set intentions, during to assess progress and any challenges, and at the completion of the program to help you integrate your learnings.
These coaching sessions will support you in deepening your insights and clearing away roadblocks.
Creative
Curriculum
The Artist’s Way will be the foundation of our program. This includes weekly readings, exercises and exploration.
Nothing is mandatory, but you will get out what you put in. We promise ☺
The Artist's Way truly transformed my mind, body, and spirit. I'm incredibly grateful for the lessons, activities, and reflections it provided me.
I don't think I would have achieved the same level of clarity or commitment without the support of the encouraging, thoughtful, and trusting group I went through the process with. Meeting weekly to share our experiences, thoughts, questions, highs, and lows kept me accountable, engaged and enthusiastic. It was heartening not only to discover my own creative self but also to witness my group discovering (or re-discovering) theirs”

Meet Your Facilitators
Anna & Hannah met at a wedding and connected immediately. Since then, Hannah built Anna’s brand and coaching website (this one!) and Anna coached Hannah to grow as a leader and build self-confidence. They joyfully went through the Artist’s Way together in a small group and are excited to bring this to you!
Anna is a leadership coach and group facilitator. She is passionate about supporting humans in creating a life of intentionality and fulfillment.
After spending time as a leadership consultant and receiving her MBA, Anna decided to launch her own coaching practice. She wanted to weave together her corporate experience with her passion for mindfulness and spiritual practices.
Anna has the privilege of working with leaders, athletes, musicians, and artists to expand their connection to self and their creative expression. She also teaches meditation, leads workshops and is a group facilitator for corporate and non-corporate clients.
She lives in LA with her husband, Tal, and their pup Mobie. She is proudly sober and supports the sober community in LA. Her creative expressions are in the form of writing, dance, pottery, creating unique gatherings, cooking and much more.

As the founder of Avenue West, a boutique design studio, she's on a mission to create impactful, joyful work for arts and culture clients.
Hannah's entrepreneurial spark ignited at age 22, fueled by the inspiration of her business-owner mom and a serendipitous connection made at a concert. A desire to reshape agency work culture propelled her to launch her own studio and never look back.
Avenue West reflects Hannah's artistic DNA, with a team of talented multi-disciplinary creators. She specializes in blending graphic design, illustration and fine art principles to produce one-of-a-kind visuals. Her work brings a vibrant, human touch across branding, packaging, web and print.
Hannah has lived all over the country, from Portland (the West Coast one), to New Orleans and now resides in Philadelphia with her partner Josh. When she is not designing, businessing and illustrating, she likes to escape into nature, cook, go to a yoga class or go see live music.

Your Artist’s Way Book
The Artist's Way is a nurturing guide for all creatives or anyone who is looking to tap into their creative energy. What made its impact even more powerful was the group sessions. As much as this book itself has been course-shifting for me, I wonder if I would have been as motivated or gained as much momentum without the ongoing support of the others in my circle. It was incredibly uplifting and created gentle accountability without judgement. Sharing our creative journeys and new explorations with one another was meaningful, encouraging, and just what I needed during this chapter of my life.
