Creative Courage

Creative Courage is a new programme from 64 Million Artists designed to give you the space to reflect on what is next for you, the courage to do it, and the community to support you.

In challenging times, finding the energy and time for yourself to make change can be difficult. Whether it’s implementing new habits, finding a new job, putting an idea into the world, starting a family, moving on from old relationships, change is hard at the best of times. But when the world feels heavy and time is squeezed, this can feel even harder.

At 64 Million Artists we believe that accessing our creativity can help give us the energy for the change we want to make in our lives, and in the world around us.

This 6 month programme will give you time and structure to nurture your creativity, make time for self-reflection, connect with others, and develop a structured approach to exploring new possibilities and making commitments to yourself.

Whatever the change is you want to see in your life; whether you’re a parent or carer, a team leader or manager, a graduate, someone retiring, a dreamer or just someone looking to rekindle a spark in yourself; this programme is designed to help you understand the change you want, and implement it with curiosity, care and courage.
