Who is this course for?

You, (yes you!) if...

This course is designed for anyone who craves connection with their creativity and self-expression.


Our course will combine core teachings of "The Artist's Way" -- with Martha's facilitation -- which supportively creates structured guidance, practical hands-on creativity, weekly exercises, extra recorded materials, cacao, meditations and group support, plus artistic "show and tell" to break through resistance.​​​

What to expect?

Release Creative Blocks

We’ll look at the obstacles we face; whether rooted in self-doubt, fear of failure, or from a lifetime of holding ourselves back. With a supportive group dynamic, ceremonial cacao, 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 creative flow. These, along with our weekly sessions and bonus meditations, build a foundation for creative exploration and growth lasting far beyond our 13 weeks.

Develop a Daily Creative Practice

Experience
Community

Our weekly sessions and community group cultivate authentic connection. Whether you feel stuck in negative self-talk or doubt, we build a genuine connection nurtures compassion, safety, trust and support. Synchronicities often emerge in these environments, so we stay open to chance encounters for connections for life.

The Artist's Way is about rediscovering the joy of play, curiosity and self-expression; without perfecting a single thing. It's three months with permission to create without pressure and to access the fun side of yourself that can always joyfully explore and create.

"My experience of The Artists Way with Cacao has been profound.

To be part of a group where people are invested in their creativity and their fullest expression has been amazing. It seems that just by being in the energy of this creative container and following the tasks, more creativity bursts to the surface and my creative process flowed more freely.

 

Because we had weekly check-ins, it kept me focused on my passion, my art and helped me prioritize it. Fears I had about not being good enough as a painter dissipated and facilitated me to embrace my desire to paint.

 

One of the questions that was asked along the way "If you didnt have the upbringing you had what would you do with your life?" and it was simple for me to answer I'd be an Artist! I'm finally returning to the calling of my soul in art and the Artists Way experience has been part of that.

 

Some of my paintings are now in a gallery and I'm excited for what the future holds and what I create.

Martha has a wonderful spirit and a unique spark that she brings to her groups. She leads in a strong and yet utterly compassionate, human way. After our journey, I joined her Momentum Create Club for ongoing community support. Any creatives who want a beautiful energy, community and are thinking to join The Artist's Way with Martha, this is your sign"

"You should join The Artist's Way with Cacao by Martha because it's a deep journey and having the support of Martha, the structure of the weekly check-in and the connection to community will be the reason you make it through to the end.

Beyond that, it was so much fun! The laughter, the inspiration and the feeling that you are not alone in this journey is truly a beautiful thing to experience. The beautiful addition of cacao really enhances your creative practice too, a perfect combination! 

Martha held the group with such confidence, love and passion for supporting everyone to flourish in their creative journey. I felt immensely supported, seen and heard. She made sure each participant got their time to be heard and acknowledged in the group.   

I now feel more confident when I express that I am an artist. I feel more encouraged to try new creative pathways and the morning pages are one of the best habits that I know I will keep!"

Creativity Mentor,
Holistic Guide & Artist 

 

Multidisciplinary artist and creative guide, Martha Trudi Ryan sees life as a living, breathing creation. She helps people to express themselves with authenticity, intention and courage.​ 

 

Learning from a multitude of mediums  -- painting, photography, poetry, theatre, makeup artistry, writing, music and holistic facilitation -- Martha perceives creativity as a cyclical intelligence moving through seasonal periods of expansion, contraction, expression and rest. Creativity isn't solely production, but presence and play with the sacredness of life.
 

Martha weaves both inspirational guidance with practical tools; a balancing blend that helps people gain momentum without perfection. With an ability to recognize the potential in others, Martha encourages others to recognize it in themselves.

She has guided many people through creative recovery. Through The Artist’s Way, Martha holds space with depth, compassion and structure. Her unique blend of creativity, ritual and community helps people reconnect to their voice, rebuild self-trust and experience the kind of breakthroughs that only happen when you’re witnessed, supported and treasured on this journey.

Martha Trudi Ryan

"Working with Martha & being part of a heart-minded creative souls collective on "The Artist's Way" was very enriching for me. It was the perfect timing in my life to explore when I was stuck and didn't know what's next for me.

 

The authentic enthusiasm and the container was very special and to this day, months after the program had ended - we all still keep in touch to keep each other inspired virtually since we were all scattered across the world.

 

The connections made were beautiful and divine, sourced by Martha. I once felt isolated & lonely in my journey and now, can remember the support when I said "YES" to discovering a newfound creativity that lied dormant within me.

 

Thank you so much Martha for who you are and the magnet you are to also attract other gorgeous souls for The Artist Way!"

"Anyone who is looking to get beyond their creative blocks, become comfortable with their own creativity, or take their creative expression to the next level should take The Artist’s Way with Cacao, led by Martha Ryan. You will be challenged, you will be held, you will be transformed.

I can't even explain in words how much The Artist’s Way with Cacao shifted my relationship with myself, with women, and with creativity. I would say a quantum leap in all these areas. I wrote a whole script during the course!

Martha is a Creative Artist and genius in her own right, so the passion and love she has for Divine Creativity is transmitted in deep and powerful ways to me as a participant. I felt absolutely seen, held, and supported by Martha and the whole group."
