Four Years of Creative Connection
Welcome back to the Journey, friends,
The only journey is the journey within. This quote by Rainer Maria Rilke perfectly captures the heart of what we have built together since that first workshop on February 2, 2022. What began as a simple twelve week exploration of The Artists Way has blossomed into a vibrant community of growth and self-discovery.
Over these last four years, I have chosen topics that sparked my own curiosity and addressed the growth I needed on my personal path. Through the many books we have read and the workshops I have developed, I have transformed alongside you. In this time, I became a certified mindfulness wellness somatic coach and launched Creative Guidance LLC. Many of our shared moments have been preserved on the Creative Journey Podcast. Most recently, I launched the Creative Journey Circle. This new space is designed to deepen our connection, providing a home where members receive detailed notes after every Creative Journey workshop to support their ongoing practice. I have learned so much about the world, but most of all, I have learned about myself through the incredible connections we have made. Thank you for being a part of this story.
As we celebrate this milestone, it is helpful to remember that growth is rarely a straight line. It is a spiral that brings us back to ourselves with more wisdom each time. A key part of staying grounded during seasons of big change is recognizing your own capacity; when we acknowledge how far we have come, we create the internal space needed to decide where we want to go next.

Boundaries as Navigation: The 7 Terrains of Self
Wednesday, February 4, 2026
We begin our new thirteen week series by mapping the property lines of your life. We will move beyond just physical space to understand your emotional, time, and energetic boundaries. You will learn to identify exactly which terrain is being trespassed when you feel stress and how to reclaim it with compassion. Join from your Daily ACB Community schedule or send an e-mail to community@acb.org
As we look forward to these new workshops, let us take a moment to settle into the body. Place one hand on your heart and the other on your belly. Take a deep breath and feel the physical space your body occupies in this moment. This is your primary terrain, the foundation for every boundary and every creative spark you put out into the world.
If you were to look back at the person you were four years ago, what is one thing they would be most proud of you for today?
With so much gratitude for our shared path,
Coach Kaila
