A 90-minute workshop for artists, makers, and creatives who want to speak about their work with clarity and confidence.
Sunday, 12 October (or Saturday 11 if you’re in the northern hemisphere). Replay available.
For so many of us, the moment we’re asked to talk about our creative work—whether in a casual conversation, a professional setting, or even among supportive peers—something shifts. We stumble, shrink, or diminish what we love. Instead of naming our work clearly, we retreat, under-express, or lose the thread of what matters most.
It’s not about “selling” or overdoing it. But equally, it’s not about hiding.
There’s a middle ground: a place where we can be precise and clear with our words, and bring our work forward with confidence when called upon.
The way we share our creative practice matters,not just for inspiring, educating, or connecting with others, but for our own self-confidence. Being able to access our agency and voice is, at its core, an expression of nervous system regulation.
When you can’t speak clearly about your work, you’re doing both yourself and your art a disservice. Your work deserves to be represented fully, and you deserve to feel confident when you share it.
Even if your art has no professional ties (no exhibitions, no sales, no audience beyond yourself), the ability to talk clearly and unapologetically about what you love is an essential part of nervous system health.
It allows you to stand in your work without diminishing it, to feel grounded when you share, and to know your voice belongs in the conversation. Because it does.
In this 90-minute live workshop, you’ll be guided through a blend of writing prompts, body-based practices, and speaking exercises that support you in finding words that feel both authentic and alive.
We’ll look at:
✏️ Creating an artist statement (or artist-statement-in-progress) that actually sounds like you.
✏️ Nervous system tools to regulate, ground, and access your voice when you need it most.
✏️A supportive practice place to experiment with language and share your work aloud should you wish.
You’ll leave not with a “perfect” script, but with words that resonate, tools for confidence, and the experience of speaking your work in community.
This workshop is for:
🪶 Creatives and artists who stumble over words when describing what they love.
🪶 Anyone who finds themselves minimizing or diminishing their work in conversation.
🪶 Those wanting to feel more self-assured in naming and sharing their passions, projects, or artistic profession.
I’m Jane Pike, an artist, writer, and creative mentor. For the past 15 years, I’ve worked in the field of somatic and movement therapies with a focus on nervous system health. That work deeply shapes how I approach creativity.
I’m endlessly curious about the relationship between the body, the nervous system, and creative practice, and how those threads connect us not just to ourselves, but to each other and the wider, more-than-human world.
In this workshop, I bring together my background in nervous system regulation with my lived practice as a writer and artist. It’s not just about finding words on a page.
It’s about feeling resourced and steady in your body so you can speak your work with clarity, confidence, and heart.
⏰ Length: 90 minutes

No. This workshop is for anyone with a creative practice, whether you paint, write, dance, draw, stitch, photograph, or explore creativity in other forms. Even if your work has no professional ties, this space will help you feel more confident speaking about what you love.
Yes. A replay will be available if you can’t attend live, or if you’d like to revisit the practices again later.
That’s completely normal (and expected). You’ll never be pressured to share more than you’re comfortable with. The practices are designed to give you a safe and supportive space to experiment, and to find words that feel true without judgment.
No. We’ll work with prompts and exercises that help you create one (or refine what you already have). You’ll leave with draft language you can continue to grow.
Just yourself, something to write with, and an openness to trying both written and body-based practices.
