Creative Living

A free practice in self-reckoning for anyone creating, leading, building or just trying to stay in the fight right now.

Great art starts with telling yourself the truth.

This practice
is our contribution.

But right now, it felt wrong to put a price on something we believe the world actually needs. 

We need more brilliant writers, artists, creatives with more visibility. And visibility without self-reckoning turns toxic. Just look around.

Art without self-knowledge becomes performance. Leadership without inner work becomes control. Creativity without truth-telling becomes noise.

The world needs more people who've done the work of facing themselves, so they can face what's happening without flinching, projecting, or falling apart.

We were going to charge for this

a New Year self-reckoning practice for creative minds.

Revelations is designed to be 

A way of looking, actually looking, at who you've been being. What you've been protecting. What's ready to shift.

Because you can't build something true from a version of yourself you haven't met yet.

Not goal-setting. Not manifestation. Not another list of promises you'll break by February.

January 1st. Fresh planner. Big energy. 

You know how this goes.

By February, the planner's in a drawer. The goals feel like someone else wrote them. And you're back to the same patterns you swore you'd left in December.

Goals get reached, but you’re tired.

The manuscript you swore you’d finish sits untouched.

You promised you wouldn’t over work, but here you are on your second late night of the week.

You don’t lack discipline, or motivation, there’s no magic manifestation bullet to suddenly transforming into a different person overnight.

You just skipped a step.

You made promises about who you'd become without looking at who you've actually been.

Your subconscious doesn't update through intention.

It updates through evidence.

Which means the most useful thing you can do at the start of a year or a season or a period of life where you’re reaching for a version of you that doesn’t feel like they’re here yet, where you want to do more with your voice, isn't to decide who you want to become.

It's to look at who your choices say you already are.

It’s to recognise who you are being, right now.

(and you don’t even have to do it at new year, it works for any new evolution)

It's a way of examining the last year, or season, as creative data.

The New Year Revelations Practice is how you can do that, honestly.

Where did your energy actually go?

What did you keep almost starting?

What did you stop doing without deciding to stop?

What conditions did you require before you let yourself create freely?

"Creative Living fundamentally changed how I am in relationship" with my creativity. 

Words from Kayleigh, Creative Living member since September '23

"I am not only more creative because of it, but more open to allowing my creativity to move through me, to shift me, to reveal more possibility. 

Creative Living gave me my tribe, my people, and may be one of the first places I have felt true belonging of my voice to me."

Inside, you'll move through three layers:

PART ONE: CLEAR THE CHANNEL

01

What actually happened — including the things you didn't plan, didn't post, didn't finish, didn't talk about.

PART TWO: ARE YOU BEING WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

02

What those patterns were protecting. What evidence you have for the work you want to create, the version of you who exists as the version who makes and does and has the things you want.

PART THREE: What wants to shift

03

through changing the evidence your nervous system is working from.

This is for you if:

→ Something in you stays private, your real opinions, your actual voice, when you know you have something to say… and you don't fully know why

→ You want to show up for what's happening in the world but you're drowning in your own thinking

→ You made a lot of work last year / last season but can't tell which ideas were actually yours

→ You barely created at all and don't know if that was rest or avoidance

→ You've been moving fast but you're not sure toward what.

→ You've been saying yes to things that don't feel like yours and spending your creative time in ways that don’t actually suit where you’re trying to go or the impact you want to have.

What you actually get:

Revelations is a full practice you can return to at the start of any new season, any new chapter, whenever you need to see yourself clearly before you build, make, create, move.

THE ENERGETIC PRACTICE

A guided visualisation to drop you out of planning-mind and into something slower. Because you can't see patterns when you're still spinning.

THE CONTEXT

Lois and Maia (Founders of Creative Living) on the difference between resolutions and revelations — why one keeps failing you and the other actually works. The neuroscience. The somatic piece. Why your nervous system needs evidence, not promises.

A PRACTICE YOU KEEP

This isn't a one-time thing. Built to return to — at New Year, at your birthday, at the start of a project, whenever you need to check: am I building what I think I'm building?

NOT the kind of PDF you skim and forget.

THE WORKBOOK

Three parts. Forty-something prompts. Not journaling for the sake of journaling — each question designed to surface something specific about how you've been operating, what you've been protecting, and what's ready to shift.

You don't need to feel ready.

You don't need to know where this leads.

You just need to be willing to look.

Chandresh from @cbmeditates
I must confess: I’ve been a part of many groups and communities before, but never before has my heart cracked open quite like this. 
Never before have I felt this rawness, this embrace of vulnerability. 

When I decided to intertwine Tantra with creativity a year ago, I lost followers rapidly, and my Instagram engagement plummeted. But now, sharing unapologetically has brought life and connection back to my work.

I feel more excited than ever to explore and write about the wild feminine sensuality and rooted masculine courage - these two ideas are breaking the walls on my IG! :))"

"Since I found Creative Living, I’ve begun writing more deeply and embracing my raw, authentic voice."

Revelations is a 3-part practice with an energetic visualisation practice, an in-depth workbook with 40-something writing prompts and a practice for fully seeing yourself and…
Inside the workbook, you'll find:

1. The single question that reveals whether your creative blocks are actually wisdom or just well-disguised avoidance (most people have never asked themselves this, and it changes everything)

2. Why your nervous system ignores your January intentions, and the only thing that actually gets it to update (hint: it's not discipline, affirmations, or a better morning routine)

3. The real reason your best creative work keeps staying private (it's not imposter syndrome, it's something more specific, and naming it is the first step to changing it)

4. The question to ask yourself that turns vague "I want to create more" into something your nervous system can actually act on

5. The difference between rest and hiding (and how to tell which one you were doing)

This is what Creative Living means to us.

Maia and Lois, co-founders of Creative Living

Not just slowing down and romanticising your morning coffee.
Dropping into the depths of your thinking. Liberating your voice from the layers of guilt, shame, and other people's expectations that have drowned YOU out. Regardless of how anybody else receives it.

This practice is a way back in.

A practice in dropping into your own thinking. Knowing yourself. Having the hard conversation with yourself that you've been avoiding, the one about what you actually want, what you've been protecting, what's ready to change and who you want to be when you show up for the world.

If there's anything the world needs now, it's conscious leadership. Intentional artists. People willing to use their voices, clearly, cleanly, without leaking their unexamined stories and beliefs and biases onto everyone around them.

If this practice will help, it's yours.
