The Phoenix Framework

Feel like your creativity is stuck in neutral? Most courses hand you prompts and hope for the best; The Mirror & The Flame rewires the engine. Across six months we braid cutting-edge neuroscience with Jungian shadow work and quick-fire creative drills—so you don’t just make more, you make truer. Each week you’ll get a 30-minute audio masterclass, a workbook that refuses to gather dust, and a pod of peers who will cheer you on (and call your bluff).

We tackle the hard stuff first. Month One burns the self-limiting stories—literally, in a guided fire ritual—while Sartre and Joan Didion whisper provocations in your ear. By Month Three you’ll have named your creative ghosts, calmed your amygdala, and turned fear into raw material. It’s psychology you can feel in your pulse and see on the page.

Then we build habits that survive real life. Expect ritual design, brain-based habit loops, and a ruthless 30-minute weekly time-box. Chuck Close wasn’t kidding: inspiration is for amateurs—so we make showing up inevitable. Live “Threshold” sessions keep the pressure friendly and the accountability sharp.

You’ll leave with a body of work and a different relationship to yourself as an artist. Graduates report bolder output, steadier flow states, and a grin when they introduce themselves as “creative”. If you’re ready to set fire to the old story and step through the smoke with new work in hand, enrol now. Your future self already clicked “join”.
