Make Your Creativity a Daily Ritual
Committing to 100 days of creative practice rewires your brain, making art as natural as breathing. This challenge isn’t about forcing yourself to create—it’s about falling into a rhythm where creativity flows effortlessly.
With expert guidance, community support, and proven techniques, you’ll transform how you approach your art—no more overthinking, no more procrastination, just consistent, joyful creation.
This is your space to show up, let go, and create freely.
What you'll walk away with
Your 100-Day Creative Journey
Kickoff & Intention Setting
Start your journey with a powerful intention-setting session. Meet your Artmonk Sangha Pod, a small group of like-minded creatives who will support you along the way. You’ll clarify your personal goals and learn practical techniques for showing up consistently.
Finding Your Creative Flow
By now, you’ll notice small shifts in your mindset and creative process. We’ll explore what inspires you and how to stay motivated even when resistance creeps in. This is where you begin trusting your own unique creative rhythm.
Building a Sustainable Practice
This is where things get real—you're building a habit that sticks. You’ll discover what works best for you, identify obstacles, and refine your practice to fit your life.
The Inner Critic & Artshare
Self-doubt might start creeping in, but you’ll learn how to quiet your inner critic and reclaim your creative confidence. This is also your chance to share your work in a safe, supportive space—only if you want to!
Navigating Resistance
This is often when old habits try to pull you back—but you’ll push through. Learn how to recognize and work with creative resistance instead of letting it stop you. By now, your practice is becoming second nature.
The Wise Heart & Creative Expansion
As your confidence grows, so does your freedom. You’ll deepen the connection between your creativity and spirituality, releasing perfectionism and embracing creative joy. This is where you start seeing lasting transformation.
Self-Acceptance & Confidence
You’ve made it this far and the shift is undeniable. Creativity feels more natural, resistance has softened, and self-doubt holds less power over you. You’ll reflect on your progress and prepare to integrate this practice beyond the challenge.
Final Celebration & Reflection
You did it! Over the past 100 days, you’ve built a creative habit that’s yours to keep. We’ll celebrate your journey, reflect on how far you’ve come, and set the stage for what’s next. By now, you know: you are an artist, and this is only the beginning.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. I understand that we all have busy lives. It IS important to attend the Kick Off session live because that is where you’ll join an Artmonk Sangha Pod and decide how to be in contact with each other. Because the Sangha Pods are a really important part of the program, it’s important to make that first contact. If you absolutely cannot attend that call but reeeeeally want to be in the program and promise you’ll be really engaged and active with your pod, then email suiko@artmonastery.org to discuss.
The live sessions are a beautiful time to come together, connect, share, and unpack some of the themes that tend to arise as we move through the challenge. They are there to support you. You can certainly watch the recordings afterward.
You need to know what your daily practice will be starting on Day 1. When you register for the 100-Day Challenge you receive access to a free live online 90-minute workshop that will help you clarify the ideal daily practice for you — one that is both inspiring and sustainable. If you've missed the live workshop, you'll receive a recording.
No, you don’t. On the registration form, you can opt out of the Artmonk Sangha Pods.
First of all, at the Art Monastery, we believe that everyone is an artist.
Everyone.
Even you.
Especially you!
Secondly, the 100-Day Challenge is fundamentally a life-changing social sculpture about TRANSFORMATION:
- transformation of how you see yourself
- transformation of your understanding of what you are capable of
- transformation of your definition of spiritual practice and of art making
However you categorize yourself now, after making art every day for 100 Days you'll be an artist.
All of it!
YOU determine what your daily goal is, what the shape and scope of your practice is. Your creative expression is utterly unique to you and will likely shift over the course of the 100 days. In the past participants have painted, drawn, photographed, written poetry, journaled, collaged, collaborated with their toddlers, designed tarot cards, found inspiration in the I-Ching, incorporated nature walks, played the same song on guitar every day, sung with a metronome, collected rocks, and more.
Not at all!
While the Art Monastery is deeply rooted in Buddhism and mindfulness meditation, we passionately acknowledge that each individual’s spirituality is their very own and constantly evolving. This program is about connecting with your own authentic practice and making a bridge between your spirituality and your creativity.
Suiko will guide a 10-minute grounding meditation at the beginning of the live calls, but you need no previous experience or beliefs in order to enjoy those.
You don’t have to!
While some people have written a poem or made a painting every day, that is just one way to engage the Challenge. It is also wonderful to work on a much larger project a little bit each day.
Some daily practices will lend themselves more easily to daily sharing. Some daily practices may not result in anything tangible. All are welcome.
