- Space to reflect, share experiences and feel understood
Workshops & creative sessions
I've spent ten years plus as a hypnotherapist watching creative people talk themselves out of their own talent. The inner critic, the "I'm not a real artist" story, the feeling that everyone else knows something you don't - I've heard it hundreds of times. I've felt it myself.
These workshops exist because I know creativity and mindset can't really be separated. And I've learned some gentle, practical tools along the way that genuinely help.

Upcoming workshops for creatives
These are the workshops I'm currently offering through Mark Wilson Studio. Ignite – Silence the Inner Critic is now booking for Saturday 12th September. Inner Child for Creatives is currently booking for Saturday 8th August — follow the links below.
I didn't realise where my inner critic had come from or how long I'd been holding onto it — but how effortlessly Mark made me realise I could make it quiet, or even silent.

How the workshops work
I know joining a workshop – especially online – can feel like a big step. My aim is to make things calm, clear and pressure-free.
Here’s what to expect:
- Live, friendly sessions. Workshops are held live on Zoom in small groups, with plenty of time for questions.
- Gentle, practical tools. I’ll guide you through simple mindset exercises and creative prompts you can reuse in your own time.
- Ongoing support. After the workshop you’ll get a short recap email and suggestions for how to keep the momentum going.
You don’t need to be “good at art” or have everything figured out – just a curiosity about your creativity and a willingness to explore.
Questions about the workshops
A few practical questions you may have before joining.
Not at all. These workshops are for anyone who makes things, or wants to, but keeps getting in their own way. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not creative enough” or “I’m not a real artist,” you’re exactly who I had in mind.
Small groups - deliberately. I keep numbers low so there’s space for real conversation, reflection, and genuine support, rather than a passive webinar where you simply sit and watch.
Sessions run live on Zoom. You’ll receive the link and joining details once dates are confirmed.
No. These sessions are about your creative mindset rather than art technique, so you do not need any materials. Just bring yourself and a willingness to explore.
Once you book, you'll receive a confirmation email within a few minutes — do check your junk folder if you don't see it. Closer to the workshop, you'll receive everything you need to join, including your workbook and Zoom details.
You can also explore the other upcoming Ignite and Inner Child workshops and Creative Freedom Sessions from this page whenever you're ready.
