Play, Experimentation + Permission | Creative Mindset Masterclass
6 July @ 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm AEST
Creative Mindset Masterclasses are for creatives wanting to strengthen their mindset and build sustainable creative practices.
A 60-minute interactive online masterclass for writers whose writing has gotten heavier than it used to be, and who are ready to bring some of the joy, and the silliness, back.
Stop performing. Start playing.
The problem
You used to write because you wanted to know what happened next. Now every sentence has to earn its place before you’ll write it. Every idea gets evaluated before it’s even finished forming. Somewhere between loving writing and taking it seriously, the play disappeared. The answer isn’t to care less about your work. It’s to remember that play and seriousness were never actually opposites.
What you’ll learn
- Why play fuels creative breakthrough, not despite the stakes, but because of how it lowers them
- How to separate generating ideas from judging them, so judgment stops strangling everything before it starts
- How to lower the stakes deliberately, even on work that genuinely matters
- Why curiosity is reason enough to follow an idea, with no destination required
- How to build a permission practice that makes experimentation feel safe again
Includes
Live exercises (yes, including a competition for the worst possible opening line), reflection on your own writing history with play, group Q&A, a literal permission slip, and a downloadable handout with your personal permission framework.

About Meg Dunley
Meg is a writing and creativity coach who has spent years helping writers build sustainable, joyful creative practices. Her belief in the power of play isn’t theoretical, it goes back to her mum, a kindergarten teacher who built her entire world around the idea that play is how humans figure things out. Meg has carried that into her own creative life in some deliberately unpolished ways: she took up jazz piano as an adult purely for the joy of it (she never mastered it, and that’s the point), and did weekly improv classes mostly so she had a reason to laugh out loud for two hours. She brings that same spirit of low-stakes experimentation to her coaching and to this masterclass.
