WHAT
One-on-one or group remote sessions that use creative practice, tailored to your needs, to help move your goals forward. With Douglas Paulson, artist, educator, and AiC co-founder.

WHY
Using creative process is a vital part of a meaningful and rewarding life - whether it’s big or small through art, music, crafts, writing, journaling, woodworking or beyond. Research recommends 2 hrs/week of active or receptive recreation arts engagement in order to maintain "good mental health which enables individuals to contribute to their community, realize their potential, work productively, and cope with the stresses of everyday life."

Even the simplest making practices can:

• support reflection and connection—to others and our cultural roots

• reduce stress and ease anxiety

• express what doesn’t quite fit into words

• strengthen your ability to adapt, respond, and engage more fully in your life

• help you generate ideas

FOR WHOM
These sessions are for all experience levels and backgrounds: from practicing artists; to people who are struggling with ongoing stress or mental health issues; to those working really difficult cognitive problems to no avail, and for people who want feel called to create but aren’t sure where, or how, to start.

HOW
Each client’s experience is customized for their goals, interests, resources, and time constraints, and determined together with Doug. We set pacing that suits you - length of sessions, number of sessions and meeting frequency.

All that is required is a desire to make, explore, and discover via a creative, hands-on process.

All meetings are held remotely. Available to anyone nationwide and internationally.
