Make Time for Creativity — A Gentle Online Studio Session

You long to create… but life gets busy.The days fill up. The to-do list grows.And the part of you that wants to make something?It quietly waits.

This is your invitation to pause —to pick up the thread of your creativity,and spend some time with it again.

Not in a class. Not to learn. Not to perform.Just to be with it. Gently. In good company.

In these sessions, we gather in a cosy online studio space.There’s no teaching — just a softly held space to do your own thing.Bring a project you’ve been meaning to return to, or start something new.Sketch, journal, collage, stitch, dream. Or simply sit with a notebook and see what arrives.

  • Come as you are — no pressure, no need to turn your camera on
  • I’ll be creating too — you’re welcome in my studio corner
  • Gentle sharing and encouragement if you'd like, but never required

This space is especially for you if:

  • You feel creatively stuck or disconnected
  • You crave creative time but never quite get to it
  • You don’t feel “ready” or “good enough” — but still want to try
  • You just want some quiet creative time — shared with people who feel the same.

Want to hear about future creative sessions and gentle inspiration? You’ll be able to opt into my newsletter when you book.

About Me

I’m Nina — an artist, creative life coach, and facilitator with a deep love for handmade notebooks, journaling, and the quiet clarity that comes from putting pen to paper.

I’ve been running online and in-person workshops, journaling circles, and creative sessions for several years, with a focus on how creativity supports wellbeing, self-expression, and resilience.

I often work with women in midlife — especially those navigating transitions, feeling creatively blocked, or longing to reconnect with a part of themselves they’ve put aside.

You’ll be warmly welcomed into my little online studio corner, where I’ll be working on my own project too — just like you, showing up and making time for what matters.

If something about this space speaks to you, and you’d like to explore how we might work together more deeply, you’re always welcome to reach out.

Frequently asked questions

1. Do I need to have a specific project in mind?

No, not at all! You can bring whatever you're working on or simply come with a notebook and some curiosity. It’s all about making space for creativity, whether you’re starting something new or continuing an ongoing project.

2. What if I’m a beginner?

Everyone is welcome! Whether you're experienced or a beginner, this session is all about showing up and enjoying the creative process without pressure. No skills or experience required.

3. What materials should I bring?

Bring whatever you need for your current project! Whether it’s paper, pens, paint, thread, or just a notebook — it’s completely up to you. If you’re unsure, just bring something you’d like to work on and feel free to keep it simple.

4. Do I need to be on camera?

No, cameras are optional. You’re welcome to keep your camera off if you prefer to work in privacy, or you can have it on to share your progress if you'd like. It’s all about your comfort.

5. Can I chat during the session?

Yes! There will be space for optional sharing, chatting, and gentle encouragement. You can choose to chat with the group or simply work alongside others in quiet. The focus is on creating in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere.

6. Will there be any teaching?

This is a creative space with no formal teaching. We’re here to create together, share energy, and support one another, but you won’t be receiving instructions or lessons. Think of it as a creative co-working session.

8. How do I sign up?

Simply sign up via the Eventbrite link. After you sign up, you’ll receive the Zoom link to join the session.

Is this really donation-based?

Yes. I want these sessions to be accessible — because making time for creativity shouldn’t be a luxury. You can choose what feels right for you. Your support helps me continue offering these sessions, and helps free spots for someone who needs it.

But I really can’t afford it — what can I do?

Please get in touch if you feel this session would benefit you but you don’t have the means to pay right now. There’s always a way to make it work — I’m happy to chat and find a solution.

9. When will I get the Zoom link?

You’ll receive the Zoom link by email shortly after booking your ticket. If it doesn’t arrive within 10 minutes, check your spam or junk folder just in case. Still can’t find it? Get in touch and I’ll make sure you get it.
