If we haven’t met before, hi! I’m Jane…

For the past 15 years, I’ve helped people break free from limiting patterns and step into more expansive ways of living, creating, and being.

I see creativity as a wild, living ecology—an intuitive, body-based process rooted in rhythm, instinct, and connection with the natural world. My work weaves together art-making, nervous system wisdom, and nature.

Along my own path, I’ve juggled running a business, homeschooling two kids, being the main provider, and tending a small farm—all while building a deeply fulfilling creative life. If you’re ready to grow your own creative adventure and make the art you love, I’m here for it—and for you.

Jane Pike doesn’t just create, she open doors into the natural world, into the process, and into the heart of what drives us. She brings us into the experience of making, of creating, as a way of life and a natural return to our core selves. Jane understands creativity as something that is instinctual, encouraging us to walk beside her add to the creation through her community. Whether through her writing, art, or mentorship, Jane brings people to the place where curiosity leads, where expression feels inevitable, where noticing becomes its own form of magic. Her work isn’t just insightful, it changes you. If you’ve found your way to Jane, you’re in the right place.

Joining Creating Wild starts a paradigm shift from creativity being a sort of frivolous hobby to it being a vital element of life -something soul nourishing that creates more beauty, peace, and positivity in your life and in the world. I want my days to be full of art, creative exploration, and noticing all the gorgeousness around me - that’s what Jane advocates for - and for people like me who get caught up in the rat race of it all, joining this community feels like a permission slip to embody your inner artist, and it’s so much easier to allow yourself the time to create.

Coming Up In Creating Wild

The One Wild Idea Club: Focused Time for the Thing That Won’t Leave You Alone.

This is a three-month creative journey for members starting in August (you can join anytime- we are all at different stages) for those ready to focus on that ONE idea you’ve been holding onto (and you are welcome to join for all of part of it!). Whether it’s a new project, a creative habit, or an art form you’ve been itching to dive into, the goal is to give you the structure, support, and community to bring it to life. And even if you don’t have a specific project to focus on, the conversations and momentum will be valuable for bringing more creativity into your life.

What’s involved?

Two live calls each month, where we’ll explore the emotional side of creating: what it takes to start and, more importantly, what it takes to keep going and build a sustainable practice.

The sessions will include:

Creative Pep Talks: 20-minute deep dives into mindset, the nervous system, and creative confidence.

Field Notes & Creative Labs: Share your progress, troubleshoot stuck points, and gain insights from the group.

Group Accountability & Creative Support: Ongoing check-ins, feedback as wanted, and collective encouragement to keep the momentum going.

You can be a part of Creating Wild for $30 USD a month or $297 USD year

I started in Creating Wild pretty early on. I've always been such a logical, concrete thinker and for many years prided myself for that! But here comes the but ... there came a time that I realized that maybe neglecting entire areas of my being, brain, etc., was not really beneficial-- maybe there really was more that I could be exploring? And voila-- along came Jane Pike's Creating Wild. I am NOT creative I told myself for so long and Jane helped me realize that actually everyone is and can be creative, that being creative can and does take a thousand different forms, and I also felt truly encouraged to start exploring that side of myself. For the first time I unwound the idea of producing something good enough from just the sheer enjoyment of being in the full sensation of creating. I started with a bit of sketching, moved on to trying my hand at knitting and I now pull that out a few times a week just really to enjoy the rhythm of it. I have experimented with singing out loud when with my horses (they seem a bit confused but intrigued lol!) and I have started Spanish lessons. Experimenting with how I want to be creative, branching out because Jane's program supported me in the realization that creativity is an experience, not a product.

FAQ’s

What if I don't consider myself an artist?

Being an artist is simply about having the curiosity to create and giving yourself permission to do so. If you feel even the smallest spark of creative desire or are seeking that glimmer of inspiration, this is the perfect place for you.

Do you focus on specific types of art?

We welcome all types of art and creative expression in this space. Our community includes writers, poets, visual artists, ceramicists, leather workers, gardeners, book binders, and more. Whatever your creative pursuit may be, your art is welcome here.

I haven't created anything in months or years—does that matter?

Not at all! Whether you’re just getting back into it or need a little help to get started, we’d love for you to join us. You’ll be surrounded by others who have reignited their past creative passions or discovered new ones. There’s no better time to (re)start than right now!

I'm interested but feel nervous! Do I need to be active in the community?

Your level of involvement is entirely up to you. You can be an active participant, a quiet observer, or something in between. However you choose to engage is just right.

How does the membership work? Can I cancel anytime?

The membership is flexible—you’re only committed for the period you’ve signed up for and can cancel at any time. The subscription will automatically renew unless you cancel. You can easily update your payment details or cancel through your membership portal.

Is there a refund policy?

Typically, we don’t offer refunds once you’ve joined the community, as you’ll have immediate access to materials and resources.

If you sign up and feel a wave of buyer’s remorse right away (yikes!), just let me know before you enter the community space.

What makes the Creating Wild community different from your Substack paid subscription?

There are key differences between the two. Substack paid subscriptions are limited to the Substack platform, offering access to paywalled content and a live conversation with me once a month. On the other hand, the Creating Wild membership is a dynamic, interactive creative studio hosted on the Circle platform. It includes monthly workshops, themed explorations, community co-creating sessions, and ongoing support and inspiration—plus, you become part of a vibrant creative community.

What if I have a question that isn't covered here?

If you need more details or a little reassurance before signing up, I’m happy to provide it (and I promise I won’t pressure you into joining).

Send me a message on the Contact page, or email me jane@janepike.com and put ‘Membership’ in the Subject Line and I’ll get right back to you.

Embrace your creative intuition, overcome creative blocks, and receive the support you need to bring your art to life.

Art supported through community. That is what I have found in Creating Wild. It brings you back to a time, when like a child, you create for the sake of it, for the play of it, for the release, and for joy. Rediscovering the inner artist in a safe space where your “not quite rights” are as applauded as your triumphs. Jane guides with care, enthusiasm, knowledge of the many ways in which the art process leads to exploration of ourselves, our environments, our dream life and our freed inner voice. Through her lead I have learned that making time for art is health care. Doodles, poetry, leather, paint, story, pottery, song. Airport napkins scribbles? Yes. Art for everyone done anywhere.

Jane has a way of creating a safe place. A real community. Joining Creating Wild has helped me understand how I get in my own way sometimes and that giving in to creativity is not only allowed but crucial to leading a life filled with beauty even in hard times. I can’t thank her enough.

For someone who sat firmly in the "I can't draw" club, Jane has helped me blow that ridiculous myth to smithereens & I'll be forever grateful. Allowing creativity to have a seat at my table is nothing short of a miracle and especially delightful. Being surrounded by such a supportive group is a welcome reprieve amongst the craziness of the world. I'm ever so grateful for Jane, her work and everyone in the group sharing their creative endeavors.
