Radical Creativity: Art, resilience, and sustainable practices for writers in dark times

On By nancystohlmanIn Uncategorized


A special 90-min Virtual Workshop and Conversation 

Friday, May 1 at 11 am MST via Zoom REGISTER FOR FREE HERE

To be an artist in dark times is a radical act. Maybe you’ve even found yourself in fight, flight, or freeze, wondering how is making art helping anything?

We live in a culture that profits on our exhaustion, commodifies our attention, worships productivity, and values us as consumers over citizens, a society that can’t understand or appreciate the calling or patience of the creative process.

To stay creative in these times is an act of resistance, one that requires compassion, courage, and loving diligence. In this workshop and conversation we will invite the elephant in the room to be named, we will embolden both our lives and our art with tools, strategies, and a clear-seeing awareness of the true stakes, and we will unpack our vital, critical, and changing role as the artistic visionaries of our time.

This is an invitation to a deeper possibility of peace, joy and wonder in your creative practice, integrating craft, mindset, and sustainability as your own personal site of resistance.Together we will re-imagine and reclaim our long-term creative lives while we strengthen each other in doing the radical work of staying.

Your cheerleader,
Xoxo Nancy

P.S. As promised, a special offer for FlashNano participants:

Are you working on a book?

Maybe it’s a flash novel or novella, creative non-fiction or a memoir in flashes,or maybe you’re finally ready to put together a collection?

Maybe it’s a brand-new idea, or an idea you’ve had forever.

Maybe you’ve already started…and stalled?

Many talented, dedicated writers struggle with starting or finishing their books. The writing process can often feel daunting, and writers haunted by a story or a “big idea” can often feel alone, unsupported, wracked with insecurities and alternating waves of procrastination and perfectionism. 

You don’t need another workshop–you need a creative transformation. 

Welcome to
The Flash Novel Mastermind
for Novels, Novellas, Collections, & Creative Non-Fiction Projects

A 6-month experience of coaching, content, and community
in a private space of motivation, accountability, and support.

I guide writers through creative transformations by providing a container of inspiration, motivation, accountability, and camaraderie, a creative incubator designed to support them through the journey of a long-term project and get their work across the finish line, so they can finally bring their ideas to fruition and release them into the world where they can change lives: starting with their own.

***AND I’ve created 3 scholarships for FlashNano participants PLUS December is free. Please mention “FlashNano” in your application.

I’m excited to continue working with you!
