Studio Squad – A Small, Steady Creative Circle

Studio Squad – #OnTheCovenstead – A small, steady, creative circle

If you’ve been wondering what the Studio Squad tier is all about, wonder no longer, Witch. It’s about creating. Creating joy, art, and magic. It’s small group creative support that is intimate enough for real attention structured enough to create momentum, and spacious enough to support different kinds of witchy creators. 

I spent a decade running a public writing group. In 2017, I passed the leadership baton on for that group, however the foundation that I created around it is still going strong today. And its members are cranking out lots of published work. The Studio Squad will build off the foundational things I learned running that group and branch out into including a witchcraft worldview and encompassing other creative endeavors. 

Studio Squad is not just writing, but it will be a focus of it (I will die on the hill that all other art runs off writing). Regardless, if you’re a singer, knitter, theatre kid, dancer, visual artist, etc. this ‘squad’ is about supporting your creativity. 

This tier is limited currently to just five members, with hopes to grow to no more than 13 creatives. The group’s rhythm will have three parts.

1. A monthly live gathering. Let me clarify, it’s live in the sense that we can video conference (via Zoom). This would be a two-hour meeting for deeper connection, shared reflection, and focused feedback, incorporating things like Runes, dreams, Tarot, and other witchy af factors. Each person might bring a short piece, a creative question, or a current obstacle. Heads-down work time will be included in these gatherings, as well, so you have dedicated time for your art or current creative project.

2. Weekly online check-ins. These will be accessible, low-pressure thread or shared space where members name what they’re working on, what they completed, and what they hope to do next. These are meant to create gentle accountability rather than demand constant participation. 

3. Special Seasonal Imagination Dates. These would be a lightly facilitate virtual gathering that feels more like an inspirational experience than meeting. The focus would be to interrupt routine, awaken attention, and give everyone something new to bring back to their writing. We’ll all experience a shared creative encounter to help inspire one another. This could be a virtual garden tour, or a poetry reading, or seasonal cooking, sketching, or nature-based activity, and hopefully, some creative interviews and special guests. Each date offers a chance to notice differently, refill the imagination, and return to our creative pursuits with fresh material – not through pressure or productivity, but through curiosity and delight. 

Check out the discord no matter what tier you’re in.

Additionally, this group will have access to a private discord channel to keep the support and conversation going throughout each month, season, and across the year. In the discord channel #studio-squad, I’ll post prompts, cool art & writing news, and other things that witchy creatives might need to be aware. When you join the Studio Squad, you’ll automatically get an invitation to join the discord. 

My goal is to help you have a web of support for your creativity, a place to bounce off ideas, read or review work and give audience feedback, and strengthen your creative output and mastery through experience, inspiration, and a ‘squad’ having your back. Oh, and maybe making a little magic along the way. 

If this sounds like a community you’d like to be a part of, find your way to the Studio Squad level, Witch. We’re waiting for you.
