The Shadow Sessions

A workshop series for artists, creatives, and anyone ready to transform their relationship with resistance.

Next Series: September, 2025

You heard the call. And you said yes—to a book, a business, a song. A creative vision that won’t leave you alone.

But now…you’re stuck. Doubting. Avoiding. Wondering if you were wrong about the whole thing.

You weren’t wrong.

Resistance only shows up where there is meaning.

That feeling you’re wrestling with—the one that tells you to wait, or perfect, or numb? It’s the signal you’re getting close to something important.

It’s a threshold. An invitation.

The Shadow Sessions is a four-week exploration of what it means to be creative in a world—and a psyche—that often resists revelation. Through a mix of reflection, guided writing, breath work, and group dialogue, you’ll learn to recognize the many faces of resistance and develop tools to keep going, even when it feels impossible.

Not by pushing through. But by befriending the discomfort itself. By learning to see it as a teacher. A mirror. A sacred signal that you’re getting close to the truth.

You’ll explore the habits, inner-voices, and perfectionism that so often shut us down—and begin to build new practices that make space for true creative flow.

You don’t need to be perfect. In fact, you need to be brave enough to be bad. Long enough to make it good.

What We’ll Explore:

  • Why resistance shows up just when the work starts to matter.

  • How the creative process mirrors the mythic journey of transformation.

  • How to use your creative practice as a pathway to self-discovery.

  • The patterns, voices, and identities that block our flow—and how to work with them.

  • How to build sustainable habits that reflect your rhythms, not someone else’s idealized routine.

  • What it takes to find creative flow, and how to ride that wave all the way to the finish line.

Structure:

Each week includes a live Sunday session (2 hours) focused on that week’s theme—part teaching, part discussion, part guided work.

You’ll also receive three 30-minute one-on-one sessions with Ben during the week—offering an opportunity for personal support, and creative consultation.

You’ll be joined by an empathetic group of fellow artists and creatives—each facing their own version of the same resisting force. This isn’t just about doing the work. It’s about not doing it alone.
