Say Goodbye to writer’s block, creative stagnation, fear, doubt, procrastination,
and
Hello to words that flow
In this transformational painting and writing challenge, we’ll explore a creative approach to help you overcome creative blocks and anything else keeping you STUCK
No Painting or Writing Experience Required
Our culture has undervalued creativity & the arts.
Over 80% of humans share that they have suffered a creative wound, like a critical art teacher or family member. Or maybe someone made fun of your art, or your creative dreams were severely shut down around the kitchen table because “There’s no money in art,” or “Do something useful.”
In this course, TOGETHER, we are reclaiming our truth as CREATORS.
This course initiates a whole new perspective on life & all it has to offer you.
It's not about deepening into how to create art as a product.
It's about deepening into the portal art-making offers you - passage back to YOUR truth.
Embark on a creative adventure that promises play, fun, joy, peace, and freedom.
Say yes to a Creative Approach to Craft Your Story and watch your spirit soar!
With the new creative story, you can revel in the process and create without concern about the end product.
The joy of crafting your story is in the journey, not just the destination.
The Challenge explores paint, color, writing, and words while guiding you to discover more of who you are at your innermost truth: a creative being in need of expression.
Color, doodle, sketch, paint, or write because it feels good. This reduces stress, calms the nervous system, relaxes the left brain, and engages the right brain.
In the initial creation phase of writing, you want to relax into your subconscious, creative part of you. Just let the energy flow from your body through your hand onto the page.
This is an opportunity to rest your overworked, logical mind.
Let it take a little vacation
Awaken your creative muse and muscle.
This is the essence of our innovative approach to crafting your story.
Have fun capturing the story you want to tell, and get it down without the editor’s interference.
PLAY, WRITE, PAINT, COLOR, EXPLORE, AND CRAFT YOUR STORY.
Rise Above Fear and Doubt
I am on my fourth canvas using the Rise Above Painting Process. It is so fun and revealing! Along the way, I discovered something magical about myself and experienced significant growth and healing in what matters most to me.
I found the confidence to start the website and begin writing regularly in addition to finding clarity around my next novel. Woo Hoo!
I can’t wait to share this with you.
Painting practice enriches writing practice
You learn to let words flow naturally without forcing them. Allow the layering and blending of words, just like with paint.
Annie Lamott says, “Write a shitty first draft." It’s the permission to write, paint, put something down. It’s not meant to be perfect first time out.
This painting practice teaches you to approach the blank page enthusiastically for all the possibilities.

After struggling with Lyme Disease and Fibromyalgia for many years, I found the exploration of creative outlets incredibly healing.
When my husband and I moved to Florida in 2018, I committed to letting creativity guide me. I began by reviving old furniture to fit our beachy cottage aesthetic. However, the physical demands led me back to my passion for writing, which has always been my guiding light.
When Covid-19 hit, everything changed. Like everyone else, I felt isolated from our family, and I fell into a deep sadness. I lost interest in writing, and I am grateful to have discovered Whitney Freya’s intuitive painting approach. Through her online painting courses and becoming a Creatively Fit Coach, I integrated all my years of energy and spiritual healing practices into my artwork.
I began living intentionally, mindful of the life I was creating which included creating a writing group to support my efforts in completing my first novel. I found that painting and writing complement each other in a beautiful energy flow.
If you have ever said,
“The stories I could tell if I could write, I’m not the creative one, or I can’t even draw a straight line,” this course is for you!
If you are afraid to pick up a paintbrush or pen or hate staring at the blank page or canvas, this is your time to face that fear and discover the freedom on the other side!
It’s time to bid adieu to writer’s block and get to know yourself deeper.
You will be surprised at what you discover!
