The Mindful Creatives Community
Enjoy Your Artist's Journey
"Mindful Creatives understand the creative struggles and find the Joy in creativity"
Founder
James Barker
My Artist's Journey took a while to get moving. I hadn't realised how limiting beliefs had stopped me from enjoying my creativity. The false belief that art was about creating finished pieces lead to me creating just two paintings in a 20 year period!
Once I understood a few simple mindset changes my life as an artist began. I started practices that would help to minimise those false beliefs. I embraced my inner critic and befriended my Imposter syndrome.
If you struggle with perfectionism or imposter syndrome you are not alone. If you want to enjoy your creativity more and love your artist's journey then join our friendly, safe and supportive community of fellow creatives.

What Happens Inside The Community?
We gather Live twice a month to get Creative and Mindful.
Forums allow connections with other creatives, so you can share experience and knowledge, form friendships and collaborations or chat about your week.
The Resources Area is full of advice to help you with practical skills.
Mindful Creativity exercises are available to help with your mindset and your creative abilities. Simple advice and ways mindfulness can help your creativity.
