ARTIST’S WAY WORKSHOP
from a trauma-informed lens
Register now to join the May 2025 online workshop series, exploring The Artist's Way through a trauma-informed perspective. Over 13 weeks, we will delve into the creative process, uncovering barriers that hinder artistic expression. This series will meet weekly on Monday evenings (7:00-8:00pm EST) from May 5th to August 4th (skipping June 23rd).
This online series offers a safe space to share your struggles, brainstorm ideas, and receive valuable feedback. As a music psychotherapist, creative coach, and artist in their own right, Rye deeply understands the frustrations and inner-roadblocks that can hinder creativity. In this group, they will offer support to help you find solutions and motivate your Inner Artist Self. Whether you're a writer, musician, dancer, visual artist, comedian, filmmaker, performer, or a person wanting to get in touch with their creative side, this group is here to help you connect with fellow artists facing creative challenges, as well as provide support and inspiration.
Using Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way" as the series guide from a trauma-informed and critical lens, we will use the book's framework for our prompts and reflections while exploring the ways in which the book is problematic, offensive, and at times - oppressive. We'll explore various techniques, exercises, and mindset shifts to help reignite your artistic spark and address what may not be serving you creatively, while acknowledging the issues of the book and its limited perspective.
Don't let artist block hold you back - and don't feel like you have to face it alone. Join this supportive group and connect deeper with your creativity and the art of creative living. Register now to reserve your spot! Only 12 spots available.

CREATIVE RECOVERY
SUPPORT GROUP
Are you new to sobriety OR are you sober-curious? Seeking support with the whirlwind that is substance use recovery? Hoping to connect with other like-minded folks in a creative and nonjudgmental way? Music psychotherapy is an expressive process that helps people explore their inner world through facilitated musical and creative experiences. By sharing and analyzing personal songs that relate to your current journey, members of this group will move through the highs and lows of early recovery with a safe space for expression and connection. To put any of your potential worries at ease - there will be no active music making in this group - just listening, writing, drawing, collaging, and sharing what you want to share. No musical or “artistic” experience or knowledge required.
This group therapy series will meet for eight weeks on Tuesday evenings, April 15th - June 3rd, 7:00-8:00pm EST on zoom.
Pricing:
$75 per session, charged once to register, at the end of each group starting on week 2. Sliding scale may be available for demonstrated need.
Due to the vulnerable nature of early recovery, to make this space truly safe and supportive, this group requires a commitment to attend all 8 sessions and will be limited to 8 members. Payment is due for all groups regardless of attendance. If interested, please reach out to schedule a 15 minute phone call prior to the start of group, or email me with any questions.
Open to people in the U.S. with the exception of those in CT, GA, IL, MD, NJ, NV, ND, NY, OH, OK, OR, RI, UT, VA, WA, and WI.

“Rye creates an inclusive, gentle, and nurturing creative environment I would recommend to anyone. They are an exemplary caregiver to the inner artist children we all carry, and is a steadfast source of support. They have helped me recognize my own needs, desires, and boundaries as both an artist and a human being. Rye is an excellent trauma-informed coach that helps facilitate growth—but never at all costs.”

“I attended one of Rye's Artist Way Workshops and loved it. I felt safe and supported as a participant to stretch myself creatively, explore my blocks, and claim more of dreams as an artist. They have a gentle and knowledgeable approach that makes it easy to trust in the process of healing.”

“I LOVED the 12-week Artist's Way workshop with Rye! They are an incredibly thoughtful, affirming, trauma-informed facilitator. I appreciated how they offered the book's teaching through a lens of how oppression and capitalism affects everyone's creative capacity differently. I also normally struggle to share my thoughts and feelings in groups but they made it feel really safe and easy to do so!”
