Weekly Creative Flow Session

A two-hour session designed to help you **show up for your practice, make progress, and connect with a community of fellow creatives**. These sessions are for writers, artists, academics, thinkers, and anyone who wants to nurture a sustainable creative routine. **What to expect:** * **15-minute check-in & input/exercise:** We start with a brief grounding exercise, prompt, or discussion to set intentions and focus your energy. * **90 minutes of focused co-working:** Work on any project you choose: writing, painting, research, or something else entirely! We use the Pomodoro technique with short breaks to stay refreshed and motivated. (You can keep your camera on or off—whatever helps you maintain focus.) * **15-minute sharing & reflection:** We finish by coming together to share progress, insights, or challenges. This builds accountability and a sense of community over time. These sessions are more than just co-working—they’re a way to **grow a community of practice**, where learning, making, and reflection happen together. Over time, this shared commitment strengthens your creative habits, provides inspiration, and connects you with like-minded practitioners who understand the challenges and joys of sustained creative work. These sessions are **completely free to join**, because the goal is to create a welcoming, accessible space for anyone who wants to show up for their creative practice. If you find value in the sessions and want to support the community, you’re very welcome to **make a small contribution** via [BuyMeACoffee](buymeacoffee.com/allanjohnson) or by becoming a paid subscriber to my [Substack](https://integrativecreativity.substack.com). Donations help cover costs for the group (e.g. Meetup and Zoom subscriptions, web hosting, etc.) and allow me to keep the focus on building a vibrant, inspiring space for all participants. Come as you are, bring your current project, and leave feeling supported, motivated, and creatively energized. ### About Your Facilitator I am an academic and writer with extensive experience teaching, researching, and publishing on literature, creativity, and contemplative practices. Over the course of my career, I have worked with thousands of students, artists, thinkers, and practitioners at all levels, helping them to develop clarity, confidence, and depth in their own work. Alongside my academic work, I am a qualified **Psychosynthesis Coach** and **Clinical Hypnotherapist**, trained to support personal growth, transformation, and wellbeing. I am also a certified **Mindfulness Meditation Teacher**(MBSR/MBCT) and a registered **Yoga Teacher (RYT-200)**, which allows me to bring together contemplative, embodied, and psychological approaches in an integrated way. This combination of scholarship, coaching, therapeutic training, and meditative practice gives me a unique perspective on creativity as both discipline and discovery.
