A Creative Community for Clinicians
A 12-week creative community for clinicians
6+ CEs
Open to all healthcare professionals
Healing Together, formerly known as The Artist's Way for Healthcare Workers Powered by Introspective Spaces is a 12-week community journey to rediscover that part of yourself, alongside others who truly understand.
Inspired by Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way and other creative voices, built for the specific realities of clinical life.
You became a healthcare worker or mental health professionals to help others. You trained hard, sacrificed, and devoted yourself to caring for people. You may even be in a caregiver role at home, too. But somewhere along the way, the system demanded so much that you lost touch with your own creativity, imagination, and sense of self.
We’d love to have you join us for the Fall Cohort of Healing Together beginning in September 2026! If you’re ready to join the wait list and get updates, please click the button below and we’ll send you a reminder and additional information about the Fall cohort later this year.

Who is this for?
This program is open to all healthcare workers and mental health professionals who engage directly or indirectly with our health system and are looking to build community.
“For the helpers and caregivers out there who draw from the bottom of their wells day in and day out, I hope you may consider filling your own cup by joining this community journey. When we tend to our creative selves, we can come back to life. It has been an honor and privilege to journey alongside others who understand on a level hard to find anywhere else”
-Lyndsey, RN (Fall 2024 Artist’s Way Participant)
We particularly cherish the profound contributions of retired healthcare workers and mental health professionals. Your lifetime of experience, your deep understanding of healing, and your unwavering commitment are a powerful legacy.
We want you to know just how valuable your presence is in nurturing and guiding new generations. The exchange of knowledge between retired professionals and new graduates creates a truly unique and transformative environment for everyone involved.
We're fostering a vibrant community where every voice and every stage of a healthcare career is honored. From ambitious students taking their first steps, to enthusiastic new graduates embarking on their careers, to dedicated seasoned professionals continuing their vital work! You Belong Here.

How This Works
-
At the heart of the program is a virtual weekly meeting with a small pod of healthcare peers, designed to foster connection, accountability, and support. These small-group gatherings provide structure and continuity as you commit to two core practices for 12 weeks- daily writing and space for joy. The accountablity helps transform a solitary practice into a shared experience that sustains momentum, deepens reflection, and reduces isolation.
All meetings are one hour and held virtually. Participants may join a regional group or opt into a national drop-in group for greater flexibility if their schedule varies. We also offer an affinity group specifically for parents.
Proposed Groups:
Tuesday - 12 PM PST/3 PM EST
Tuesday - 7 PM PST/10 PM EST
Wednesday - 4 PM PST/7 PM EST
Please note that these days and times are subject to change and will be updated as we get confirmation! We typically have a weekday lunchtime, an weekday later evening group, and a weekday late afternoon/early evening group.

FAQs

Absolutely! We can add you to an asynchronous group.
-
You will be assigned to a weekly live accountability group via zoom. This will be peer-led with a provided facilitation guide. The goal here is to check in on how the reading and tasks have been going.
-
You are right to understand this is a significant undertaking. However, we are working with the book to tailor it to our busy clinical environments and workloads. If you participate at 10%, you will still be greatly enriched.
-
Although it can feel like you need to have an art practice, this journey together is more about reconnecting with your inner self by exploring your past, what gives you joy, and self-reflection. All of this aids in us becoming more creative.

Religious Aspects of Artist's Way
Julia Cameron uses religious language in the artist's way to describe the spiritual nature of creativity. She encourages folks to replace the word "God" with the word universe, spirit or nature. It is designed to be open to folks who have religious and non-religious beliefs. There's been a lot written about how to ensure atheists or folks who are non-religious can engage comfortably in the Artist's way. We are happy to speak with anyone who has any concerns about this! Anu is a Buddhist and replaces the word "God" with "universe" in her engagement with the book.
-
To accomodate the life of a busy healthcare worker, we created summaries of Artist’s Way chapters alongside reflections in a short weekly email. Buying (and reading) the full book is totally optional! If you are interested in reading along, we will share some places where you can purchase the book shortly! We also highly recommend checking out the library and used bookstore for a copy!

This is a great and important question! For folks who have seen our past offerings, you may notice the price of the Artist’s Way offering has increased. After running two cohorts of the Artist’s way, we have learned how important it is for groups to have dedicated facilitators and to have access to an in-person celebration at the end. The new price reflects our commitment to offering honorarium to our facilitators and ensuring the “Creativity in Healthcare” celebration is a free event for all.

“During our 12 weeks together, surrounded by compassionate colleagues who share a similar vision, I've found renewal. Together, we peeled back the layers of institutional expectations, rediscovered our authentic selves, and prioritized our well-being. This is not selfish—it is necessary. By tending to our own wholeness, we become more present, more empathetic, more effective caregivers.The Artist's Way has reminded me that our professional calling is also a deeply personal journey of continuous growth, creativity, and self-discovery. We all deserve space to breathe, to reflect, to dream—and to practice healthcare with our full, vibrant selves. “ – Amna, MD
“Why stay in prison when the door is wide open” - I came across this quote by “Rumi” this morning reflecting, and made me realize that participating in Artists’s way has taught me to step out of my own limitation and my comfort zone to connect with my true self and what I am capable of. Wish you all a beautiful and freeing day 💞🌺 - Mitra RN
About our name
For the past four cohorts, this program was known as The Artist's Way for Healthcare Workers. As our community has grown — to over 200 clinicians across the country — we've evolved our name to better reflect who we are and where we're going.
Healing Together: A Creative Community for Clinicians names what this program has always been at its heart: a space for healing, held in community, built specifically for people who spend their lives caring for others.
The journey itself hasn't changed. We still draw from Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way alongside Emergent Strategy and The Art of Gathering. Your weekly pod, your creative practice, your CE credits, your facilitators — all still here. The name is new. The community is yours.
