Begin 2025 with
Creative Intention
Join our new, inspiring community crew as we journey together along The Artist's Pathway to unlock and expand our creativity!
Drawing from the essence of Julia Cameron’s renowned 12-week program, we’ll explore everything that holds us back from the creation process so that we can find meaning, expression and boundless creativity; infused with a unique twist of chocolate magic.
Included in this one-of-a-kind Artists's Way experience is the magic of ceremonial cacao, community containers and pre-recorded meditations to support each chapter.
We begin 25th February 2025.
The Artist's Pathway
13 Week Container
This course is designed for anyone craving to reconnect with their creativity, access their true, liberated self and experience better self-expression. Based on Julia Cameron’s transformative method, our pathway will combine Julia's teachings with Martha's guidance which supportively combines to create structured guidance, practical hands-on creativity, weekly exercises, recorded materials, meditations and group support to break through creative blocks.
Uncover and Release Creative Blocks
We will integrate famous practices like morning pages, artist dates, cacao and self-care rituals to access our true creative flow. These tools, along with our weekly sessions, aim to offer a foundation for creative exploration and growth lasting far beyond our 12 weeks together.

Experience
Creative Community
Our weekly sessions and community group-chat are designed to cultivate authentic connection. Whether you feel stuck in negative self-talk or doubt, we will build a genuine connection each week that nurtures compassion, safety, trust and support. Synchronicities often emerge in these environments and we'll stay open to any possibility that creates friends or creative connections for life!
'The Artist's Way' is about rediscovering the joy of creative play, curiosity and self-expression; without expecting to perfect a single thing. It's three months with permission to create without pressure or judgement and to access the fun side of yourself that can always joyfully explore and create.
Find Joy & Play In Self Expression
Learn The Secret Ingredient To Creativity
To enhance our creative experience, Martha encourages we enjoy heart-opening ceremonial cacao; a gentle (delicious) hot chocolate drink with therapeutic properties. Cacao help us to access flow-states; generating feelings of love, inspiration and deeper self awareness = perfect for right-brain actvitiy AKA our emerging inner artist.
Although cacao nourishes creativity, it is completely optional and this course welcomes everyone, whether you choose to drink cacao or not. For those interested, I will deliver a special cacao block to your door (worldwide) and provide preparation instructions, so you can experience the magic at home - throughout the course - if it calls to you.
We are One
Creative Family
Creative clusters happen all over the world, as encouraged by Julia Cameron; - founder of 'The Artist's Way'. Julia refers to these groups as living, breathing creations themselves. Therefore, once the doors open, our creative process has already begun.
As a Holistic Facilitator, Artist and Cacao Practitioner, Martha naturally creates environments that align with Julia's values of inclusivity, equality and community-lead connection.
Several journeys through 'The Artist's Way' later, Martha will again participate as a peer; not a guru. Her belief is that only true teachers remind you that you are your own. Martha encourages self-empowerment every step of the way; believing we each play valued parts in the group's growth as a whole.
Within our circle, vulnerability is encouraged and expression is celebrated. This peer-facilitated group is based upon the values of respect, confidentiality and compassion for all.
13 weeks isn’t just a commitment to your creative journey.
It’s the beginning of a new cycle that could benefit your life for years to come. Saying ‘yes’ to this experience invites an energetic embrace by the Creative Force, even if your dedication wanes or wavers along the way.
Our 13 weeks is the incubation period for the magic you’ll go on to create for years to come. Graduates of The Artist’s Way have gone on to direct world-class films, write best-selling books, launch businesses, become happier, healthier people and simply craft lives of deeper joy and meaning. Our time together is just the beginning...

What is the difference between copywriting and editing?Copywriting is a 'blitz' of your current content. With copywriting, I revise any grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, placing in appropriate synonyms, reformatting sentences where necessary and generally add more 'flow' to your overall work. Copywriting is charged by the word. General 'editing' is more complex and is suitable to larger projects such as books, instruction manuals, course content etc. Rather than a simple 'blitz' to the written content, developmental editing is a deeper dive into perfecting your work-of-art. It can include restructuring your paragraphs in a way that 'make sense' to your reader, redesigning the format (switching things around), making keyword suggestions to hit the necessary touch points that will create the deepest connection with your target audience, removing unnecessary content and including the most important points that will create the most meaningful impact. Copywriting is like the nurse, but developmental editing is like the doctor.

What kind of writing help do I need? I'm confused!Your confusion is understood, let me take the brain-work out for you! Everybody is building their own empire, and there is no 'one-size-fits-all' approach to writing.

I have an idea, but not a final project. Can you help me?Yes! A final project takes a lot of work, and I'm here to support you in completing whatever your heart desires.

Right now, I only market via social media. Is writing support important?Abso-freakin-lutely! Connecting with, and building a genuine trusting relationship, with your audience is more important than ever. Generally speaking, you create the small, meaningful connections through daily or weekly interactions on social media. Carefully curated content that speaks to YOUR audience in a way that is resonant with YOUR mission is one of the most important things you can do as a contributor to the online space. I offer tailored social media packages 'Conscious Captioning' to spread your message in style. For more information, please email connect@martha-ryan.com

Financial Hardship
Creativity is not the lucky nor the few. It is an inherent gift available to us all. Please fill out the following form to apply for the financial hardship discount.
Creative living isn’t reserved for poets or playwrights. It is the missing ingredient in today’s busy, modern societal eco-system. Those who could benefit from creativity the most are those who are starved of it. Across the world, our spirits are longing for more time spent creating, exploring, learning and experiencing a true, meaningful existence.
When we create, we wire new neural pathways in our brains that expand our consciousness; increasing our awareness and opening ourselves up to new experiences and possibilities in our lives. The more we create, the more we expand our consciousness. The more we expand our consciousness, the more we can create. It’s all so very deeply interlinked.
Learn About Cacao & Creativity
Don't wait until February to discover the benefits of cacao for creativity. In this beautifully crafted, 23-page guide, you'll learn all about this ally's amazing properties. Inside, you'll discover how to set up your perfect cozy corner, how to minimize distractions, set boundaries around your creative time and even enjoy grounding, meditative exercises and different music playlists to help you find your creative flow.
