You Were Born to Create.
We are all artists. To be a fully alive human is to create. A key aspect of healing and opening to our true potential is undamming the flow and re-storying ourselves, thus reconnecting with the wise and still-wild intelligence within us.
Creative Mentoring
For anyone who wants dedicated, inspiring support to nurture and strengthen your liberatory creative practice.
In this 13-week or 6-month journey we weave experiences for the body, mind, and spirit to:
Learn personalized tools and practices to access your intuitive creative flow and effective process.
Establish a daily rhythm and harness the power of loving discipline.
Move forward on your book or other project.
Notice internalized white-supremacist heteropatriarchal oppression and the ways those structures affront self-worth and productivity.
Cultivate a stronger relationship between your body, intuition, mind, spirit, and creative expression.
Transform creative blocks.
Receive consistent, individualized guidance from an experienced teacher and editor to help you move from idea to actualization.
Step towards manifesting your highest creative vision for your work and your life.
Writing & Liberation Workshops
Poetry as a healing art. Embodiment as antidote. The role of language in perpetuating or transforming internalized oppression.
Learn how expressive writing, mindful movement, and cultivating a consistent creative practice tap into our deep wisdom and invite greater awareness and self-activation. Small group Medicinal Poetry Writing, Living Language, or Movement & Mindfulness classes available.
“Niema has a unique and compassionate way of bringing light to topics that are typically difficult, complex, and shameful. She uses her teachings to inspire inquiry in her students and collaborative sharing in re-imagining a re-building of a more loving world.”
- Student in the Disarming Our Language Course at PUGS (Portland Underground Graduate School)
"When I decided to start seeing Niema, my creative confidence was low and I knew my self-doubt and negative thoughts had the potential to shut me down and cause me to give up. Niema supported, affirmed and encouraged me and my creativity. She helped dispel some myths about creativity and her confidence and belief in me helped me love and believe in myself--my creative self.
I wrote my first spontaneous song in a session with Niema. Three months ago I wrote my first traditional song, with verses and a chorus, and I've written a dozen songs since then. I’m so grateful for care, support and creative confidence I gained from my time with Niema.”
