Creative making can be so life-giving — and it can also be nearly impossible:

You can’t stop judging yourself,

The result doesn't turn out the way it was in your head, and

You begin to wonder if you’re just wasting time & materials.

You might even be thinking "I'm not a real artist."

But you can tap into a wildly open and inspired creativity.

Truly free creativity is not supported by mainstream society — even though this type of profoundly-connected liberated flow is perfectly natural and accessible for everyone.

You just need the tools and the frameworks.

By the end of the class, you’ll have the tools to...

Melt the inner blocks that are tripping you up
You'll have concrete steps to get out of your head and into a thriving relationship with your work.
Open up to deep flow
You'll have a 4-step process you can return to again and again so that expression can come through you rather than from you.
Express yourself boldly
You'll know what you need in order to allow your true voice — free from the need for approval from others — to come ringing out of you.
Join women & gender-queer artists & makers from all over the planet who want to connect more deeply and express more authentically.

What People Are Saying

“Working with Suiko, I have reconnected to the artist in me. It did something special. Being a part of this class was a part of me walking into my new life.”
Asya Azar
Artist, Author, San Francisco, CA


“Suiko offers substantial value. After the first time being led by her in Artmonk Practice, I felt the power of her gift as an artist and teacher. I cried and processed on a level not always available in my other methods of meditation.”
Jessica Amos
Founder of StayWithYourself.com, meditation teacher & coach with 1.2 million students, Salem, OR
“Before I was much more focused on outcome or product which my inner critic persistently judged harshly. What's different for me now is that I absolutely feel braver about creating and I'm committed to art-making now."
Alysia Thaxton

“I am now more confident in my making and my identity as an art maker. I've formed amazing friendships. I've deepened my understanding of what it means to make, why it matters, and possibilities of how to create community around it.”
Shenandoah Weiss
Leadership & Career Coach, mindfulness teacher, and corporate learning specialist, San Diego, CA
“This time allowed me to trust my instincts and manifest my ideas into something tangible and not to question the validity of my impulses so much.”
Mary Wang
Architect

Meet Your Host

Hi, I’m Suiko! I'm a painter — but I've gone years without painting. I've been blocked 9 ways to Buddha's birthday — no ideas, no time/space/energy to paint, no confidence in my work — even after getting a degree in fine art with honors from Yale. Even after getting my MFA from San Francisco Art Institute. Even after landing solo shows.

‍

But, over the years, I've made my way from imposter-riddled stuckness to consistent art-making that is joyful, deeply connected to something mysterious, and utterly me. I've gotta tell you — it’s such a relief!

‍

Now there’s nothing I love more than helping others do the same.
