get in touch with your creative vision
and make a plan to do the work
that matters to you…all in one day!
Be Your Own Daddy
three-hour intensive
This workshop is for you if you are…
…ready to revive your creative practice
…overwhelmed with all of your commitments and want to prioritize your creative practice more
…contemplating the next steps on your creative path and can't decide what to focus on
…frustrated with traditional markers of “success” in your field
…writing, making art, performing music, building a business, redecorating your home, planning a garden, or even just WANTING to do any of these things! (Anything can be a creative practice – if that is your intention for it.)
Build the creative life you desire
Whether you're a writer, a visual artist, a performer, a small business owner…a creative practitioner of any kind, really…you are surrounded by stories of what it means to be successful in your field:
“Publish a book with xyz publisher.”
“Have a solo gallery show by such-and-such an age.”
“Wake at 5am every morning to hone your craft.”
“Market, share, do more more more!”
Nonsense.
Each of us has our own capacities and dreams and activities that bring us fulfillment. YOU have a unique creative vision, and part of your job of being an artist and maker is to trust your own authority in your creative practice, and build from there.
CLOSE OUT 2025 like the boss (of yourself) you are.

faq
Who is this program for?
This program is for anyone who has, or wants to develop, a creative practice of any kind and build their artistic path with confidence. Catherine believes that anything can be a creative practice – art, writing, performing, business, gardening, etc. Apply this workshop to whatever needs a little zhuzh in your life.
What if I cannot attend live?
Attendance at the live workshop is highly recommended, as the energy of the group adds a lot to the experience. But – you will also receive a recording within 24 hours, and you'll definitely still get plenty out of this workshop if you go through it and do the prompts on your own. Plus you can continue to revisit the material!
What will I walk away with?
You'll leave this workshop with a ton of journal prompts and new writing that you can draw on for artist statements and creative direction, plus you will have the draft of your very own artist manifesto and a plan for your next steps to make your creative work happen.
What do I need to bring to the workshop?
A journal, a pen, and a tasty beverage and/or snack are recommended!
Are there any refunds available?
There are no refunds available once you have enrolled – please be sure to reach out with any questions if you need help deciding if this program is right for you at this time.
Will you offer this program again?
This three-hour intensive workshop might be offered again and was previously offered as a month-long program, but this is the last time that Catherine will offer this material in 2025, and the format may change if it is offered in the future.
