Reclaiming Your Creative Life in Sobriety – 4 Week Virtual Course

A 4-Week Group Coaching Circle with Anne Marie Cribbin

Sundays: March 1, 8, 15, 22
Time: 11:00 AM ET (90 minutes, live on Zoom + replays)
Cost: $500
Recovery can bring stability — and also new questions about identity, creativity, and what comes next. This small coaching circle supports people who want to reconnect with their creative energy and sense of self as recovery evolves.

Through guided conversation, reflection, and group coaching, participants will explore how to gently reignite imagination, desire, and aliveness in a sustainable, real-life way.

_____________________________________________________________________________

There comes a point in recovery when the question is no longer
“How do I stop?” but something quieter and harder to name:

Why does my life still feel flat?
Why don’t I know who I am anymore?
Where did my spark go?
What is my purpose?

Many of us drank or coped because we were in survival mode —
surviving burnout, overwhelm, systems that exhaust and erase,
or simply the relentless pace of life.

We’re told that once we stop drinking, everything will come rushing back. Creativity. Desire. Joy. A clear sense of self.

Sometimes that happens.
Often it doesn’t.

Instead, sobriety can leave us with space we don’t quite know how to inhabit yet. Energy that hasn’t fully returned. A creative life that feels distant or muted.

Reclaiming Your Creative Life in Sobriety is an intimate coaching circle for people who want support in gently reigniting that spark — without pressure to perform, produce, or reinvent themselves overnight.

Because reconnecting with creativity and aliveness isn’t automatic.
It’s intentional, humane work.
And it’s much easier to do in good company.

We’ll gather for four Sundays in March in a private, thoughtful space where you can bring your real life — uncertainty, curiosity, grief, desire, and everything in between — and be met with honest conversation, steady coaching, and genuine community.

What You May Experience in This Circle

Inside this circle, people often begin to:

• understand why creativity and energy don’t automatically return when drinking stops
• feel less alone in the strange, flat, in-between seasons of recovery
• reconnect with parts of themselves that have been dormant, muted, or buried under survival mode
• hear their own desires and interests more clearly
• experience creativity as something supportive and nourishing rather than pressured or performative
• feel more like themselves — or begin discovering who that self is now
• leave with a clearer sense of what helps them feel alive, steady, and connected in their daily life

What Each Week Includes

a gentle opening and grounding

thoughtful prompts and reflection

shared conversation

live group coaching

space to speak honestly about where you are

This is a coaching circle, not a writing class or performance space. You do not need to consider yourself “creative” to belong here. Creative life includes expression, desire, curiosity, beauty, and imagination in everyday living.

Weekly Themes

Naming disconnection, survival mode, and the quiet loss of creative energy during years of coping or numbing. Noticing where even a small spark remains.

Week 2: Reconnecting to Desire & Imagination
Listening for what you want now. Allowing curiosity, interest, and possibility to return without pressure to act or produce.

Week 3: Creativity as Support for Recovery
Creative energy as nourishment, expression, and nervous system support. Letting creativity become part of what sustains you.

Week 4: Creative Rhythms That Sustain a Sober Life

Who This Is For

People in sobriety or recovery whose lives look “fine” on the outside but feel flat, muted, or unclear on the inside

Those who sense their creativity, imagination, or sense of self has gone quiet and want help reconnecting

People navigating identity shifts after drinking, burnout, or long seasons of survival mode

Anyone wondering, Now what? — and wanting space to explore that honestly

Those craving thoughtful community without comparison, performance, or pressure to be inspiring

People who want more agency, color, and authorship in their lives, not only stability

Those who are ready to move out of pure survival and into something more inhabited and intentional

You do not need to be wildly creative.
You do not need a plan.
You do not need to feel inspired.

You only need a willingness to show up honestly and stay curious about what might still be possible for you.
