Who This Is For

This workshop is for you if:

You have every intention of creating, but by the time you sit down to do it you're exhausted.

You used to make art—but drifted, and don’t know how to begin again.

You feel a soul-sized project stirring, but struggle to carve out creative time.

You’re not looking for productivity hacks—you’re craving something meaningful.

Whether or not you identify as a "real artist", you know that when you make your art, you're more you.

What You’ll Walk Away With

Clarity on what you’re truly called to create

A gentle time-audit to uncover hidden creative windows

A roadmap for consistent making—even if your schedule is packed

The three essential questions to trust your process

Tools to protect your creative time—without guilt

Why It Matters Now

Your art isn’t just a hobby—it's your voice.
At a time when self-expression is threatened from the very highest of offices, finding time to create have never been more important.

It’s a thread connecting your past, present, and future.
You don’t need a blank calendar in order to express yourself.
You need a starting point and a structure that honors the reality of your life.

What People Are Saying

"You are the Marie Forleo of the art world. Your content is that good. I love both the depth of the teaching and the nuts & bolts practical tools I can start using right away."

Alysia

“Guess what?!?! I’ve noticed a change in my work/life balance where I work the same amount but there’s less catatonic recovery from work time so I actually do things! With people! On evenings and weekends! In September (I'm a principal)! + I’m pretty sure your approach is a big part of why!”

Susanna

"This has gifted me a daily practice where little by little I am teaching myself to draw — it has given me the biggest surge of creative expression!"

"Over the last 8 years, I've only been able to make art twice a year, no matter how much I yearned for that to be different. This year, I've already completed a project! I love your meditations, your presence, the wisdom and gentle humor that you offer. Thank you so much for the gift you've offered all of us."

Tanya

"Creating each day, even if it’s little, has made a huge difference on emotional well-being."

Caitlin

"Thank you dear Teacher Suiko for these intimate, invaluable sessions and the ease with which you present them and guide us in creating from authentic, present experience."

Geneve

“Before, I would come home and I would have had a crazy day and my impulse would be to open a bottle of wine. Now, I do my five minutes [of artmaking] and maybe that stretched into a bit more time. But that opened this window and it just was really, deeply nourishing. know what I mean? Like it was, you know, just for me.”

Michael

"I am truly loving this practice! I find I am eager and curious each time I sit. I find that there is a shift ALREADY, not just in my being — there's a shift of focus and a paying attention to… all sorts of things. I'm so grateful I signed up for this."

Jude

"After day #365 of a creative project everyday, I still use the skills I learned from you all the time ("park on the downhill slope", for example). I never would have had the confidence — or the courage — to do that before. I’m being stretched, balancing my intuitive part with a more thoughtful one. I have so much gratitude — thank you for your work in the world, thank you for what you've given me."

Pauline

"So calming, centering, and I love the process you outlined!"

Debora

"I just wanted to send a quick note of gratitude for all the amazing energy you bring to everything you do: your classes, your guidance, and the safe, creative spaces you create have been so inspiring. I'm really glad to have found your offerings. Thank you for being a gem and for all the light you bring to the world."

Bee

"I am so grateful for this class. It's actually life-changing. Deep bows of gratitude."

"You get more done than anyone else I know."
People say that to me… a lot.

‍Hi, I'm Suiko!

I'm a bit of a time management junkie.
I love researching tips & tricks for diving ways to make this life more spacious, more meaningful, and more full of handmade beauty.

I want to make art every day.
Is that really so much to ask?

In addition to all my morning practices, running the Art Monastery (the international non-profit I founded in 2007), teaching, coaching, and playing with my dog.
(I don't have a dog, but I want one. My beloved partner isn't sold on this idea… but I can be persuasive.)

The point is, there's a lot of life to live.
The problem is, most time management systems are

Impossible to maintain
Don't take into account the creative mind
Are fundamentally flawed in that they don't respond to life as it changes

Join me for 90-minutes that can revolutionize your relationship to time and win you back to yourself.
