It's Time to Answer Your Creative Calling

Your dreams are not an accident. Something inside you wants to be born.

Whether you want to publish your book, find your voice, grow an audience on social media, or simply commit to a creative practice as an act of inner transformation, Sunflower Club is an incubator to spark your inspiration and nurture your craft in an inclusive and conscious global community.

What We Believe

1. Creativity Is Human Nature

Everyone is born an artist, but society distracts us from our creative calling. Anything you can imagine and bring to life is a form of art.

2. Intuition Is a Portal

Creativity is a mindfulness practice and relationship with source. We are channels for inspiration. The best ideas come from slowing down the busy mind and listening to the muse.

3. Talent Is Overrated

Writing and making art shouldn't be a talent show, but a sacred path of emotional catharsis and self-actualization. Finding your iconic voice is about authentic expression and committing to your craft.

4. Community Is Essential

In an increasingly digital, divided world, people are starving for connection. We need places where we feel safe to share and be seen as our real, imperfect selves.

The Origin Story

Sunflower Club began as an open mic night in Austin TX, an inclusive space for creatives to share and connect. We've held space for hundreds of writers and performers to nurture their expression in a supportive community.

Is Sunflower Club for Me?

This is an inclusive community for creative misfits and mystics of all backgrounds and levels of experience.

Writing is my primary creative modality, especially poetry — so you could say this is primarily a writing group. But the workshops and sharing circles will apply to other mediums as well, including being a creative entrepreneur. We will also feature guest speakers from various industries, such as painters, musicians, and healers.

You could say this is a conscious container. We believe that creativity can be a spiritual practice. We are each vessels for source creation. If you want to deepen your creative practice and connect with a global community of conscious writers and artists, this membership is for you.

This community changed my life

The most welcoming, sacred community I've ever experienced.
