Every artist carries an invisible script: core beliefs about who we are, what is possible, and what we “are allowed” to want. These beliefs often form very early – through family, education, culture, and artistic peers – and can become so familiar that we confuse them with reality itself. They can lift us up (“I’m allowed to experiment, even if I fail”) or quietly hold us back (“I’m only valuable when I’m productive”).
In this Artist Circle, we’ll explore how core beliefs come into being, why they are so powerful in our creative lives, and how they influence our relationship to success, failure, and visibility. We’ll look at how these beliefs affect our nervous system, our stress responses, and our capacity to regenerate – and how shifting them can directly strengthen our resilience.
Through short inputs, reflection exercises, and gentle group work, you’ll learn practical ways to recognize limiting beliefs, experiment with new inner narratives, and anchor more supportive beliefs in everyday artistic life. The goal is not to “optimize” you, but to give you tools to work with your inner world instead of against it – so that your beliefs become an ally for your art, your health, and your long-term path as an artist.
