Artist and Creativity Coach
Sensitive creatives really shine when they are making and sharing their work in ways that bring them joy, meaning and align with their needs.
However as many of us also struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing and low self-belief, we can forget to make space to explore what that might look like for us as an individual. There’s a lot of advice out there to navigate, and sometimes it knocks us off-course from building a sustainable business that works with the unique beings we are.
As a creativity coach for sensitive people - and an HSP myself learning to understand my own neurodivergence - I’ve been on a journey to explore different solutions to this both with clients, and in my life and business.
In this workshop we’ll use a playful and imaginative approach inspired by the night sky to identify what really lights you up, so you can open up the possibilities and opportunities out there for you in the creative universe.
The workshop will include:
✨ Looking at how your sensitivity might show up in your creative work, whether you identify as an highly sensitive person, neurodivergent or as a super sensitive creative.
✨ Celebrating the gifts of being sensitive, and how this can contribute to making wonderful creative work.
✨ Explore common experiences and challenges experienced by sensitive creatives as they try to navigate what is the right path for them.
✨ Go on an imaginative adventure together to imagine the possibilities out there for you in the creative universe.
✨ You’ll identify where your energy and time are being lost to the wrong things, so you can start to shine as the creative wonderbeing you are, and do your essential creative work in a more sustainable and joyful way.
Join me live to get the most out of this creative adventure, and to have all your questions answered in the informal Q&A at the end of the session!
ONLINE EVENT GUIDELINES
It is important to me that everyone who attends events I host feels welcome, informed and safe so you can get the most out of the opportunity. I also like to record some sections of events so they can be accessed as a Replay by those unable to attend live, and to open these ideas up to new people.
Therefore all events operate under these guidelines:
Each event will begin with a welcome where you are invited to share something small about yourself (i.e. your global location, a win from your week, your favourite animal). Participation is optional!
Please respond to questions however you feel most comfortable, and DM me on Zoom if there is anything you would like me to know.
You are welcome to turn your camera off - I understand you might be cooking, caring, at work or in a busy place! Of course it’s encouraging for me to be able to see you, so please do keep it on if you feel comfortable.
During the event I will often give a short presentation which I will record to share as a replay and online. Your camera and name will not be visible. If you engage in the chat I may respond to you so keep this in mind :)
Some events may include breakout rooms. You will be invited to select while booking if you would prefer to work quietly alone - and of course you can send me a message at the beginning of the event if anything has changed!
Group workshopping, break out rooms and the Q&A will not be recorded. However I would like to apply the Chatham House Rule which ‘helps create a trusted environment to understand and resolve complex problems. Its guiding spirit is: share the information you receive, but do not reveal the identity of who said it’. It means you will be anonymous and can feel comfortable to speak openly, but the ideas that are generated in sessions can live on, evolve and help others.
These guidelines aren’t intended to be strict ‘rules’ so you feel constrained. In fact it’s the opposite! I hope they will create a shared understanding we can all feel comfortable and that are needs are met during events. If you have any questions about this please feel free to get in touch at info@eleanorchaney.com.
Hello sensitive creative!
I’m Eleanor Chaney - an artist and creativity coach with 15 years experience in sharing the creative process with thousands of people.
I’m also a highly sensitive creative who understand the challenges of being a sensitive artist. But with this experience I’ve come to see my sensitivity as one of my biggest strengths.
I’ve been a self-employed artist since 2009 and my own journey has included:
- Working as a full time artist, sharing my own artwork through exhibitions, residencies, funded projects and through selling work online.
- Gaining qualifications in art up to MA level, in counselling skills, and as a teacher and trainer for people aged 16+ in the arts.
- Working as a creative practitioner teaching art and craft subjects for people of all ages including in formal education, community and adult education, for museums, galleries and arts organisations.
I support sensitive creatives to embrace who they are, find the approaches that work with their personality, and learn to trust themselves on their creative path
so they can make what really matters to them.
