By The End of This Course...
By the end of this course, you’ll have the tools to develop a genuine, heart-centered connection to life again; rooted in a self-devoted creative and spiritual practice that nurtures your unique gifts, encourages your authenticity, and honors your voice as essential and valuable in this world.
You’ll deepen your connection with yourself, feel more aligned with your true purpose and rediscover the adventurous, inspiring side of life where creativity flows naturally and freely.
My hope - for you, for me, and for all of us - is that this course becomes the catalyst for something extraordinary, as the seeds we plant together take root and blossom into magnetic self-expression, deeper trust in life and lasting, personal transformation.
Who is this course for?
You, yes you!
Let's face it; our modern lives are crying out for more time spent in play, creation and exploration.
This course is designed for anyone craving to reconnect with their creativity, access their true, liberated self and experience better self-expression. Based on Julia Cameron’s transformative method, our pathway will combine Julia's teachings with Martha's guidance which supportively combines to create structured guidance, practical hands-on creativity, weekly exercises, recorded materials, meditations and group support to break through creative blocks.
What to expect?
Uncover and Release Creative Blocks
We’ll look at the common obstacles we face; whether they’re rooted in self-doubt, fear of failure, or from a lifetime of holding ourselves back. With a supportive group dynamic, ceremonial cacao, regular fun exercises and gentle guidance, we'll begin to dissolve these barriers and reconnect with our inherent creativity.
We will integrate famous practices like morning pages, artist dates, cacao and self-care rituals to access our true creative flow. These tools, along with our weekly sessions, aim to build a foundation for creative exploration and growth lasting far beyond our 12 weeks together.
Experience
Creative Community
Our weekly sessions and community group-chat are designed to cultivate authentic connection. Whether you feel stuck in negative self-talk or doubt, we will build a genuine connection each week that nurtures compassion, safety, trust and support. Synchronicities often emerge in these environments and we'll stay open to any possibility that creates friends or creative connections for life!
'The Artist's Way' is about rediscovering the joy of creative play, curiosity and self-expression; without expecting to perfect a single thing. It's three months with permission to create without pressure or judgement and to access the fun side of yourself that can always joyfully explore and create.
Find Joy & Play In Self Expression
Learn The Secret Ingredient To Creativity
To enhance our creative experience, Martha includes a gift of heart-opening ceremonial cacao; a gentle (delicious) hot chocolate drink with therapeutic properties. Cacao help us to access flow-states; generating feelings of love, inspiration and deeper self awareness = perfect for right-brain actvitiy AKA our emerging inner artist.
Although cacao helps creativity, you can still fully enjoy the course if you decide not to drink it. Those interested will receive the finest ceremonial cacao, delivered to their door (worldwide) with preparation instructions, so you can experience the magic at home - throughout the course, to support your creative endeavours.

What is the difference between copywriting and editing?Copywriting is a 'blitz' of your current content. With copywriting, I revise any grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, placing in appropriate synonyms, reformatting sentences where necessary and generally add more 'flow' to your overall work. Copywriting is charged by the word. General 'editing' is more complex and is suitable to larger projects such as books, instruction manuals, course content etc. Rather than a simple 'blitz' to the written content, developmental editing is a deeper dive into perfecting your work-of-art. It can include restructuring your paragraphs in a way that 'make sense' to your reader, redesigning the format (switching things around), making keyword suggestions to hit the necessary touch points that will create the deepest connection with your target audience, removing unnecessary content and including the most important points that will create the most meaningful impact. Copywriting is like the nurse, but developmental editing is like the doctor.

Right now, I only market via social media. Is writing support important?Abso-freakin-lutely! Connecting with, and building a genuine trusting relationship, with your audience is more important than ever. Generally speaking, you create the small, meaningful connections through daily or weekly interactions on social media. Carefully curated content that speaks to YOUR audience in a way that is resonant with YOUR mission is one of the most important things you can do as a contributor to the online space. I offer tailored social media packages 'Conscious Captioning' to spread your message in style. For more information, please email connect@martha-ryan.com

We are One
Creative Family
Creative clusters happen all over the world, as encouraged by Julia Cameron; - founder of 'The Artist's Way'. Julia refers to these groups as living, breathing creations themselves. Therefore, once the doors open, our creative process has already begun.
As a Holistic Facilitator, Artist and Cacao Practitioner, Martha naturally creates environments that align with Julia's values of inclusivity, equality and community-lead connection.
Several journeys through 'The Artist's Way' later, Martha will again participate as a peer; not a guru. Her belief is that true teachers remind you that you are your own. Martha encourages self-empowerment every step of the way; believing we each play valued parts in the group's growth as a whole.
Within our circle, vulnerability is encouraged and expression is celebrated. This peer-facilitated group is based upon the values of respect, confidentiality and compassion for all.
13 weeks isn’t just a commitment to your creative journey.
It’s the beginning of a new cycle that could benefit your life for years to come. Saying yes invites the energetic embrace of the Creative Force, even if your dedication wavers along the way.
Our 13 weeks is the incubation period for the magic you’ll go on to create for years to come. Graduates of The Artist’s Way have gone on to direct films, write best-selling books, launch businesses, become happier, healthier people and simply craft lives of deeper meaning. Our time together is just the beginning...
What is asking to come alive within you?
This f*cking matters!
Creative living isn’t reserved for poets or painters. I believe it to be the missing ingredient in today’s busy, modern societal eco-system. Those who could benefit from creativity the most are those who are starved of it. Across the world, our spirits are longing for more time spent creating, exploring, learning and experiencing a true, meaningful existence.
When we create, we wire new neural pathways in our brains that expand our consciousness; increasing our awareness and opening ourselves up to new experiences and possibilities in our lives. The more we create, the more we expand our consciousness. The more we expand our consciousness, the more we can create. It’s all so very deeply interlinked.
