The Inner Peace Imperfectionist Method:

WHAT YOU’RE THINKING: “I’ve tried daily morning pages but I always give up. Honestly… I just need something easy and consistent. My brain feels like 97 tabs are open, I keep ghosting my journal, and my self-care and creative dreams feel so far away. I just want to feel calm, get my thoughts out, and start building a habit that sticks - without pressure or perfection.”

YOUR PROGRAM: Start with Peaceful Pages. It’s where everything begins. You’ll show up three-ish mornings every week for 30 minutes to clear mental clutter, tend to your creative self-care, and slowly make progress on the projects or goals that matter to you. It’s the soil before the seed, the perfect entry point before diving into Creative Bloom Blueprint or other deeper programs in the Inner Peace Art Studio.

WHAT IS IT: A gentle, guided journaling practice (aka self-care + creativity + tiny wins). Think: inspiring song of the day, a lyric-based jumping off point just for fun, freewriting, flexible prompts, and a built-in 5-minute Purpose + Project Pages block to finally chip away at that thing you’ve been meaning to do.

BEST FOR: Anyone! Great for scattered thinkers, journaling dropouts, and magical minds who need a soft, shame-free way to get back to a journaling practice.

MEDIUMS: Pen and paper are all you need, but you can add watercolor, markers, or whatever makes your brain happy.

INSPIRED BY: Morning pages from “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron

WHAT YOU’RE THINKING: “Maybe I could be creative again… but where do I even start? What if I don’t have talent? What if I buy everything and give up like usual? What if I’m totally blocked?!”

YOUR PROGRAM: Creative Bloom Blueprint

WHAT IS IT: Eight week program with virtual workshops and group coaching

WHY IT WORKS: Every creative journey begins with permission to begin again. In Creative Bloom Blueprint, you’ll gently unblock old creative wounds, rebuild trust with yourself, and rediscover the spark you thought you’d lost.

BEST FOR: Beginners, perfectionists, or anyone who’s ghosted their creativity for months (or years) and is feeling stuck, paralyzed, and not artistic at all

MEDIUMS: Journaling, writing, sound healing, watercolors, sketching, photography, collage, any type of creativity (keeping in mind reasonable and accessible supplies)

INSPIRED BY: “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron; “The Creative Act” by Rick Rubin; “Self-Compassion” by Kristin Neff; “The Gifts of Imperfection” by Brene Brown.

WHAT YOU’RE THINKING: “I’m making art again, but I want to keep my rhythm. I can’t do this alone, I need community support. I finished the blueprint and I can’t let my progress slip.”

YOUR PROGRAM: Creative Bloom Society

WHAT IS IT: Ongoing creative membership that meets twice monthly to reflect, plan, and experiment with any type of art/creativity

WHY IT WORKS: Once your creative seed is planted, you need to help it take root for a more permanent rhythm. The Creative Bloom Society keeps your practice alive with soft structure, seasonal inspiration, and community support.

BEST FOR: Creative Bloom Blueprint grads and creatives who are in the flow and want to focus on maintaining a practice, experimenting with new creative sparks, and building consistency without pressure.

MEDIUMS: Journaling, writing, sound healing, watercolors, sketching, photography, collage, any type of creativity (keeping in mind reasonable and accessible supplies)

INSPIRED BY: “Living the Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron; “It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again” by Julia Cameron; “The Book of Alchemy” by Suleika Jaouad

WHAT YOU’RE THINKING: “I want to paint more, learn techniques, and create just for the joy of it. I need a creative practice I can do daily to get things out. I want to learn more about watercolor. I want to have easy and meaningful painting projects.”

YOUR PROGRAM: Peaceful Painting Club

WHAT IS IT: Virtual painting workshop membership with weekly intuitive watercolor and mixed media classes with a Netflix-style on-demand library

Plus any and all watercolor/acrylic/collage artists around the world!

WHAT YOU’RE THINKING: “I’m ready to stretch creatively and bring my art into the rest of my life. I need to get out and get more inspiration. I need to move more. I’m angry and need to move these emotions through my body. Nature and movement are healing and I need more of them.”

YOUR PROGRAM: Step Into Your Art & Save Your Soul

WHAT IS IT: Eight week program with virtual workshops and group coaching. The weekly session is designed to be a walk & talk where you can move and learn at the same time!

The Inner Peace Imperfectionist Method isn’t linear.

You’ll plant new seeds. You’ll loop back to earlier phases. You’ll take breaks. You’ll ghost and come back.

Here are a few examples of how real Inner Peace Imperfectionists have used the programs to build their creative calm, confidence, and courage:

- Started with Creative Bloom Blueprint. After graduation, joined the Creative Bloom Society.

- Started with Peaceful Painting Club to learn more about painting. Got interested in creativity and enrolled in the Creative Bloom Blueprint and then joined Creative Bloom Society.

- Joined Peaceful Painting Club and attend every single week no matter what

- Graduated Creative Bloom Blueprint and joined Step Into Your Art to uplevel creative expansion through movement

Most students are enrolled in at least two of the four main programs at Inner Peace Art Studio. Nearly 60% of students have been enrolled in all programs.
