Release your creative power by understanding your inner critic. Learn to manage and quieten the internal voice that puts resistance and self-doubt in the way of your creativity.

This workshop taught by Michael Loveday will help you release your creative power by developing a better understanding of your inner critic – the (sometimes loud!) internal voice that creates resistance, friction and self-doubt within us, blocking pure creativity. 

In this workshop, you will – 

  • find out more about the unique qualities of your own inner critic
  • learn to negotiate with this obstructive internal voice
  • learn tactics for taming it
  • direct yourself towards flourishing fully as a creative individual. 

This workshop will suit writers, artists, and creative practitioners of all kinds who want to grapple with any self-defeating obstructions in the way of their creativity.

18th May 2024, 3pm-5:30pm (British Summer Time / UTC+1) Morning session for American participants.

  • “I came away feeling excited, with a number of ideas buzzing around in my head. I thought Michael had a very approachable manner, and he explained things very well.”
  • “I found the whole session to be an exciting invitation to poke around with some of my writing habits and nudge them into different directions. Michael did an excellent job of keeping everything fresh and engaging.”
  • “I found the workshop very inspiring and it gave me a great boost. Ten out of ten, for sure.”
