“With our Hands” creative WOrkbook

Colorful abstract drawing with overlapping scribbles, shapes, and text. The text reads 'WITH OUR HANDS, A Workbook for Creative Care & Collective Rhythm' and includes handwritten notes like 'amore,' 'No,' and arrows indicating 'Up & Down.'

A place to make, pause, and return to yourself

This workbook offers gentle creative practices rooted in care, everyday life, and shared ways of making. You don’t need talent, time, or special materials — just a willingness to slow down and work with what’s already there. Use it alone or alongside others, in your own rhythm.

  • 3 guided exercises — a gentle reset, a self-portrait reflection, and “creating space” to support your rhythm

  • 3 grounding practices — simple, repeatable rituals to help you arrive, settle, and keep going

  • 2 printables you’ll actually use — a Daily Creative Journal + an Inspiration Tracking sheet

  • 3 artist portraits — Hilma af Klint, Yayoi Kusama, and Paula Modersohn-Becker as creative companions

  • Intuitive creation section — prompts that invite trust, play, and “good enough” making

  • Clear “how to use it” flow — so you can start in one sitting and return anytime

  • A use-what-you-have approach — minimal materials, low pressure, high meaning

  • A creativity-as-carework mindset — making as nourishment, not output

  • A slow, seasonal pace — reflection over rushing, rhythm over resolution

What it supports

This workbook is for moments when you feel scattered, blocked, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your creativity. It offers a place to slow down, work with your hands, and stay close to what matters — without goals, pressure, or the need to perform. It can be used alone or alongside others as a quiet way to find steadiness and shared ground again.
