Reflect & Recalibrate | The Intentional Creative free workshop
4 April 2027 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am AEST
When was the last time you stopped to reflect on your creative life?
It’s easy to move from one project or idea to the next without taking time to consider what we’ve learned along the way. We can become so focused on what we haven’t done that we overlook how far we’ve come.
Reflect & Recalibrate is a free, interactive workshop for writers, artists and creatives who want to take stock of their creative practice and decide where to focus their attention next.
We’ll look back over the first few months of the year and explore what’s been happening in your creative life. What have you worked on? What have you discovered? What’s gone well? What hasn’t worked quite as you’d hoped?
More importantly, what can you learn from those experiences?
Through guided reflection and practical exercises, we’ll identify what’s worth continuing, what might need adjusting and what you’d like to prioritise for the months ahead.
What we’ll explore
- Recognising progress, including the things you might otherwise overlook.
- Learning from both successful and less successful experiences.
- Identifying what’s helping or hindering your creative practice.
- Reconsidering priorities and deciding what deserves your attention.
- Setting or resetting your creative intentions for the next quarter.
What you’ll take away
You’ll have an opportunity to see your creative practice with fresh eyes, recognise what you’ve learned and make some conscious decisions about what comes next.
You’ll also receive a resource to help you continue your reflections.
Who is this workshop for?
Writers, artists and creatives who want to make more time for their creative work. Whether you’re working on a long-term project, exploring a new idea or trying to establish a more consistent creative practice, this is an opportunity to pause and take stock.
You don’t need to have achieved a particular milestone or be working towards a specific goal. Just bring yourself and a willingness to reflect.

FAQs
Is this really free?
Yes, completely. At the end of the session, Meg will share details of her upcoming programs. For those who stay to the end, there’s a special bonus available for anyone who’d like to take the next step and join one of these programs.
Who is this for?
This session is designed for creatives, writers, artists, makers, and anyone who identifies as a creative. You don’t need to be at a particular stage in your creative journey. If you’re ready to reflect and reset, you’re in the right place.
Is this just for professional creatives?
Not at all. This is for anyone with a creative practice they want to sustain, whether you’re paid for your work or not. If you write, make art, or create in any form, this is for you.
I’ve been away from my creative work for years. Is this still relevant?
Absolutely and especially so if you’d love to find your way back to your creative work again.
What do I need to bring?
Your journal, your favourite pen, and an open mind. Find a quiet space where you can write and think without interruption for 90 minutes. A cup of tea or coffee is strongly encouraged. To get the most out of this time you’re making for yourself, Meg encourages you to let others know you’re unavailable during the session.
What platform will we use?
The session will be held on Zoom. You’ll receive the link 24 hours before the session.
Is this interactive or just a lecture?
Highly interactive. The session includes reflection exercises, chat discussions, optional partner shares, and dedicated Q&A time. You’ll be engaged throughout.
Do I need to have my camera on?
Cameras are optional but encouraged for community connection. You’re welcome to participate in the chat without video.
Will this be recorded? What if I can’t attend live?
This session will not be recorded as it’s designed to be a live, shared experience. If you can’t make it, you’re welcome to let Meg know. To hear about upcoming workshops and quarterly sessions first, join Meg’s mailing list. → Join Meg’s mailing list
