THE DETAILS:
This workshop challenges the myth of the “struggling artist” by providing practical tools for a sustainable creative practice. Drawing from six years of experience as a Creativity Doula, Nicolene have identified common patterns that block artists—self-doubt, burnout, and unsupportive habits.
Through an introduction to the Creative Cycle – an approach Nicolene developed inspired by the work of Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Julia Cameron, as well as her own practice-based research methodology – participants will learn to navigate the natural phases of creativity with greater self-compassion and resilience. By understanding creativity as a cyclical process of “death and rebirth,” they can move past stagnation and cultivate a more intuitive, balanced practice.
This reflective and hands-on workshop will help participants recognize their personal creative rhythms and develop strategies to support themselves mentally, emotionally, and physically. Ultimately, it reframes the artistic journey from struggle to flow, offering a renewed sense of agency.
By the end of this workshop, participants will:
– Gain a clearer understanding of their unique creative process.
– Create a visual map of their Creative Cycle to identify personal rhythms and challenges.
– Recognize and break self-sabotaging patterns.
– Develop tools for a more balanced, intuitive, and resilient creative practice.
– Shift their perspective on creativity, embracing its natural ebb and flow with confidence.

MEET NICOLENE
I am Nicolene Burger, a multi-media artist deeply immersed in the realms of painting, installation, and performance art.
Throughout my artistic journey, I have developed a profound understanding of the power of art as a transformative medium, and I constantly delve into the intricacies of memory, healing, connection, and spiritual growth. My creative exploration expands beyond the confines of traditional art forms, allowing me to venture into uncharted territory and guide meditative art experiences for those facing creative blocks. I have come to embody the role of the Creativity Doula, providing nurturing support and guidance to fellow artists on their creative journeys.
For me, art is an immensely powerful and influential bridge of communication. My creations serve as conduits of understanding, healing, and connection, reaching out to individuals on a deeply personal level. By continuously pushing the boundaries of artistic expression, my aim is to create a space where vulnerability is celebrated and transformation is sparked. With each stroke of my brush and every embodied performance, I invite viewers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, forging connections that transcend the limitations of language and society. My art is a testament to the profound impact that creativity can have on our lives, fostering empathy, healing, and unity within a fragmented world.
