Several friends took this workshop and recommended it highly, but since I live in NorCal it was never an option. But once the pandemic started and Jen took it virtual, I was able to give it a shot. I am so, so glad I did. I lost my business at the beginning of the shut-down and spent the first few months very depressed. I am a creative person and love making things and writing, but wasn't doing any of that. I enrolled in Jen's workshop and within a couple of weeks started making some profound changes. I am more centered and happy with my life than I have been in a long time. This workshop is based on Julia Cameron's book The Artist's Way, which is essentially a 12-step program for creative people. As Jen walks you through the lessons and tasks, you learn how to cultivate wonder and delight in the world around you, and use that to fuel whatever creative expression works for you. Sure, I could have read the book myself, but doing it with a group adds accountability, and Jen's candor and humility make it funny and realistic. Highly, highly recommend! read more

I recently took Jen Seifert's Artist Way Class, and it was great. She is great! Jen creates a welcoming, relaxed, fun environment. She is a good listener, genuine, and gives time and space for all participants to engage in class how they feel comfortable. If you are in a place of grief, feel stuck, or just need a little nudge, this is a great place to get moving, pointed in a new direction, or just have a laugh. If you are thinking about it, just say "yes" and do this class with Jen Seifert. read more

I want to give Jen a shout out for her guidance in a recent Artist's Way course I recently completed. She made The Artist's Way very accessible and fun, even when it was confronting. I had tried to give it a go on my own, after a very difficult year, and just fell off after a couple of weeks. I needed the group, the community, to help me to show up for me, and to hold me accountable. I really feel like it allowed me the space to figure out my next chapter, and I'm so excited to move forward! read more

absolutely loved the way this retreat was designed. Everyone who attended was warm, inspiring, and so easy to connect with. This experience was exactly what I needed in this season of life. It's rare to find opportunities to be surrounded by thoughtful, deep, and engaging women who are committed to cultivating community in such a unique and meaningful way. Highly recommend! Can't wait for the next one! read more

If you are ever in a questionable state of mind where you feel blocked this class will create a space for you to understand why. Taking this class is a great journey to unveil some truths you will face in your mirror. It was a great and cathartic experience to just let your weight off your shoulders and allow you to open your mind in the most kindest manner possible. The creative flow comes as time passes by and allows to understand when it doesn't to be gentle with yourself so you that your creative flow will resurge. This is a journey and so many amazing transitions and doors open for you if you just allow for this to happen. Highly recommend taking this class and sticking it through to the end. Thank you for this amazing gift! read more

Having done the CRxEATIVITY Artist's Way workshops twice now, I can say with confidence that Jen is a master at creating supportive, joyful, collaborative spaces for creative people of all stripes to flourish. If you've wanted to do the Artist's Way but just haven't been make it through or have done it before and want to revisit, these workshops are a wonderful place to do this work. read more

I have had such an incredible experience as part of Jen's Artist's Way course! Jen leads with such energy and optimism, with a deep understanding of our individual needs and the demands on our lives. While encouraging all of us to give ourselves grace, she also gently pushes us to find the time and energy to be creative and encourage our inner artist. I also have loved making friends with our group, and have treasured this time to be with like-minded creatives, each striving in our own way for meaning and impact. read more

Jen guides with thoughtfulness, humor, and kindness. Recommend to anyone looking for a little creative group or inspiration

CRxEATIVITY with Jen Seifert is a powerful program that can inspire, support and uplift artists to new heights. Jen's almost magical ability to speak the truth while being a real, flawed human who dares to push herself to new limits can have you believing in the impossible and trying things you never thought you would. 100% was the case with me & it has opened several opportunities I never would have considered or was afraid to. Her interpretation of The Artist's Way is amazing and caring, with the weekly accountability/support group and Zoom discussion providing a bright spot in my life, every dang week. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, Jen's humor, positivity, honesty, and support can help unlock your full potential. Start it & you will soon see & feel the results in your daily life - highly recommended! read more

Jennifer's ability to inspire, support, and lift up artists with positivity will have you believing in magic. Her ability to say the real thing out loud and tell us why it is all BS while rolling her eyes is also magical. Her combination of being a real, flawed, messy human who dares to do something bigger and scarier than she thinks she can is inspiring-- and it will have you believing in things you thought were impossible and trying things you never thought you'd ever in a million years try-- and then when you are good at it and you love it?!?! That's the magic of CRxEATIVITY. read more

CRxEATIVITY with Jen Seifert is an intuitive guide through Julia Cameron's Artist Way which is an enlightening self-discovery. Jen is so down-to-earth and supportive. She gave me the survival tools to pivot, remedy the past, and crystallize the present. There is no going back. I'm so grateful to Jen for helping me recognize the beauty in my journey. I've done Jen's course twice, and the second time was more profound than the first! Remote workshops allow me to work with Jen from anywhere in the world now! -- Debrah L. read more

Jennifer Seifert has a beautiful gift for nurturing talent, bringing like-minded people together, and holding a safe space for growth in her classes.

She is the beating heart of this celebration of creativity which is so inspiring for all who attend.

Such a caring and kind leader. read more

Steve Rozic Actor, Writer Just before meeting Jen I had been staring at The Artists Way book for about a year. I tried to read it and do the exercises by myself and surprisingly I was unsuccessful. Just owning the book did not change my life, as I had hoped. I heard about Jen's AW workshop and thought maybe I needed help. With Jen's nurturing, practical guidance and her disarming sense of humor she and the other Artist Wayers made this perennial outsider feel welcome. I was able to investigate my creative blocks and unblock them. Projects that had laid dormant for years began to bloom and new projects are taking shape on an almost daily basis. Thanks Jen. read more

I highly recommend Jen as a creative coach. She is easy to talk to, funny and genuinely invested in the wellbeing and success of her clients. There is no judgement in the often messy creative process, only thoughtful conversation, support and gentle encouragement. I joined Jen's Artist Way workshop in an effort to drill down on an idea I had. I didn't realize that, more importantly, I would be doing some deep healing and gaining a community of inspiring, beautiful artists. Since finishing, I continue to benefit from those weekly sessions. Reach out to Jen! You'll be glad you did. read more

I participated in Jen's Artist's Way group and have attended her festivals over the years and they were all magical experiences! I highly recommend this group (and Jen) to anyone looking for a safe space to explore not only your own creativity, but to have the opportunityto create a deeper and meaningful connection to that sacred place where all energy flows (from within). She's as real as it gets and I just love her! Jen pulls from her own experiences to help you move through barriers that are preventing you from achieving greater success as a creative soul! I look forward to her next festival and collaborating again! read more

CRxEATIVITY - Jen was one of my guest speakers at my Mindful Retreat for Change It Up! We loved having her! - Life Coach Near Me

Jen Seifert literally changed my life! Her Artists Way group is a wonderful way to push through creative blocks and connect with other artists. Jen is a brilliant leader, an inspiring coach and just an all-around wonderful human. read more

On the recommendation of a friend, I submitted a story to Jennifer for her CRxEATIVITY FESTIVAL. I was thrilled when I was invited to join the line up, but I had no idea what to expect. What I found when I got there was one of the most professional, well run, exciting, and inspirational evenings of music, storytelling, and film making. They say that sharing and receiving each other's stories fosters compassion, which is something this world could use a little more of these days. Jennifer's CRxEATIVITY FESTIVAL does just that. She not only supports the creative in everyone, but she provides opportunities that foster compassion. (Not to mention...it's one hell of a party!) I left there with people that I will forever keep in my creative circle. I was honored to be included in the festival and can't wait for the opportunity to submit again for future shows! read more

Jen and everyone she brings into the Crxeativity space are just what I need to give me strength, focus, hope, and grace to move forward in my artistic journey. She has adapted amazingly well to the virtual world and is really adept at making online gatherings personal and meaningful. Her Artist's Way program is top notch and the new programs - Leap and Thrive - that she has developed this last year have met the moment and so much more. Her honesty and openness make you feel safe and understood. And she knows how to create an atmosphere of positive reinforcement that makes to you want to leap into all of the creative pursuits you have been denying yourself out of fear or doubt. read more

If possible, I would give 10 stars. Working with Jen Seifert over the past six weeks in the Artists' Way group has given me a creative growth spurt like no other. She is generous, kind, compassionate, and constantly bringing forth new suggestions for expansion. I have begun to explore different mediums that I would never have done before this course. Writer, actor, lawyer, cook, doesn't matter: working with Jen in the Artists' Way group will change your life. read more

I just had the extreme pleasure of taking Jen's workshop titled "Thrive-ish" which was a fantastic follow up to her Artist's Way workshop I took last year. I have never felt more supported, safe, and held in an online environment. Jen, like myself, has an innately keen way of connecting people. Making them feel community and acceptance in the span of a few hours on your weekend. I highly recommend any of the CRxEATIVITY workshops...especially in this crazy time of breaking apart and coming together. Amazing. Do it!! read more

Wow I have so many things to say. I came to this via "coincidence," someone in a group I was speaking in had messaged me and mentioned Jen's class. I had just purchased the Artist's Way and was pretty scared at the idea of trying to tackle the book alone. From the first class, I felt and saw my creativity bolster and adapt. I was able to call myself an artist without shrugging and throughout the classes my fear began to fall away and I was able to not only make a short film but also share it with the world! It's currently on the festival circuit winning finalists and semifinalists in the first festivals I've entered. These classes aren't just something to do, they are a launching point for creatives to move out of their way and begin to work within our creative power. read more

Jen Seifert's CRxEATIVITY really is just what the doctor ordered! In The Artist's Way, Julia Cameron notes that artists thrive in clusters, and that is just what Jen has created, a group in which artists of all kinds can thrive and grow together. I am so grateful to Jen and to the entire CRxEATIVITY group - I cannot recommend highly enough. read more

I just finished Jen's 12 week Artist's Way course, and it has my highest recommendation. I had read Julia Cameron's book a lifetime ago, and was struggling with finding the momentum to work through the book again on my own, in a pandemic. Several of my friends had been part of earlier AW groups, and they had recommended. I'm so glad I signed up -- the group was lovely and welcoming, and it helped to have a weekly set time to work through the chapters. Jen brought in interesting guest speakers and had suggestions for various teachers and resources. I found the course supportive, nurturing and inspiring. I highly recommend working with Jen -- you won't regret it. read more

The Artist's Way is an inspiring chapter-by-chapter exploration with tools for implementation. It really takes on new meanings and dimensions in community and with Jen Seifert's creative leadership and vision. Jen creates a safe space, fosters honest, authentic dialogue, and brings in dynamic guests. Jen's background as artist and coach makes her Crxeativity brand perfectly aligned with the needs of a diverse group of participants with a shared goal -- to reach their full potential by tapping into their creative spirit and realizing a project or embarking on a path toward a creative goal. read more

Jen is truly inspiring. This class, even in the midst of the pandemic, gave me hope to keep creating. You're never too late to connect with your inner artist. read more

After years of reading the Artist's Way on and off, Jen's class gave me a community of artists from various backgrounds to interact with, listen to and be inspired by. She knows the AW material well and leads class in a doable weekly time frame with skill and joy allowing for connections to be made among class members. For me, these connections with other people breath life into the book's valuable program. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to dive into the Artist's Way to know their next steps as a creator! read more

It's nothing like not knowing what you need but knowing you feel stuck and the universe shows up. That's how I came to Jen's class and boy was it just what I needed. Jen has a wonderful way of leading that feels collaborative and insightful at the same time. I needed community and to get my creativity flowing again. What I received as a bonus was being seen for the creative I already am. I highly recommend Jen and this workshop. read more

Jennifer lead an amazing group! I was inspired to start my book and felt her support along with the community. I recommend CRxEATIVITY to anyone looking for creative accountability, inspiration, and community support. It will set you on the path towards reaching your creative goals! read more

I was introduced to Jen's Artist's Way workshop through a good friend. I can honestly say the class was a lifesaver this year in so many ways. After moving across country late last year, the pandemic hit. I was feeling so isolated, lost and creatively stifled. Just having a weekly appointment to show up to made a world of difference. To meet and share with so many other artists helped to inspire in me a renewed sense of the possible and the love of art. Jen leads each class with purpose and heart and I never felt like there was a wasted moment. I will cherish the lessons learned and I've taken with me the love and passion she has for sharing this lesson and I will carry it into 2021 and beyond! read more

Working with Jen literally changed my life. Stuck and depressed for years, I was encouraged by a friend to sign up for one of Jen's Artists' Way groups. In that 13 weeks, I met myself again. A me I had not been in literal decades began to emerge as bright and happy and creative as she'd ever been. Within two weeks -- seriously, two WEEKS -- transformation was beginning: I signed up for a yoga class in my neighborhood, and shortly I was going every day. I booked my first national commercial. I began playing the piano again for the first time in over 20 years. I began being inspired to DO things, as opposed to just being bored and resistant. Jen is exceptional at what she does. Like all good coaches, she's positive and compassionate and encouraging and supportive -- but her real gift is this: because she's so talented herself in SO MANY WAYS, she truly has an eye for talent in others, and she nurtures its growth to the point where you can see it, believe it, and trust in it yourself. If you're really ready to make a change, and are prepared to do the work to make that change happen, then work with Jen in any way you can. Your best self will thank you. read more

I had never even heard of the Artist Way book before I signed up for a 12-week class with Jen. I read the phrase "creative recovery" on her website and knew that it was exactly what I needed. The first class, I was nervous: "Who are these people? I'm not anything like them." Little did I know! 12 weeks later I count these women as some of my closest connections and supporters. This class changed my life. Jen is the best kind of leader - kind, vulnerable, and supportive. This class helped me as much or more than years of therapy. read more

Jennifer Seifert and her CRxEATIVITY are the for real real deal! I felt comfortable in the safe space she created for our group to learn, grow and share. It seems like the 12 week course was done over in a flash and I feel like I gained a bunch of family from our 3 months of Monday meetings together. There is something creative in all of us, Jen is amazing at helping that creativity emerge. Thank you Jen! read more

A friend of mine was signing up for an Artist's Way workshop and asked if I wanted to sign up. I had attempted (on my own) to go through the book two previous times and failed miserably--only making it through the first chapter. I called Jen up as I had lots of questions about the workshop. How was it run? How many people would be there? Was it for me? Little did I know, three months later I would have formed the most amazing relationships with a group of 12 women AND be inspired to work on my writing project daily. I cannot speak highly enough of Jen and her AW workshop. It was (and continues to be) life changing. read more

The CRxEATIVITY festivals are community celebrations for artists. They bring together different kinds of artists (who might not otherwise cross paths) to show their work and perform, and help raise money for a worthy cause. Many of the participants and attendees have gone through the Artist's Way Classes with Jennifer Seifert. I love the spirit of generosity and support for each other. These events always leave me feeling inspired, and grateful to be a part of an artistic community. The Artist's Way classes themselves were transformative. Jen leads the group with humor, humility and honesty. She really strives to create a supportive space for artists of all kinds. It helps you to break though blocks and to make it a habit to incorporate creativity into your day to day life. It was fantastic!! I highly recommend it for anyone looking to jumpstart their artistic side. read more

I have always loved writing. I was able to meet Jen through another class we were taking together and then heard about this class. I started The Artist's Way at the beginning of last year with a friend but ended up not being able to complete it due to complications during the pandemic. When I found out that I could be a part of this community virtually, I was really excited. I have to say that this class has been one of the best things to happen to me in 2020. I have been able to write more and to express more and to get back to my passion of writing on a continual basis. I highly recommend this class. It truly is a gift. read more

All I can say is, WOW!!! I was introduced to the Artist Way from my cousin who had done the course a couple years before and she wanted to do it again and asked if I'd join her. I was super excited to jump into it, but at first we thought it was on a day that wouldn't work for me. So, I was pretty bummed. Then the universe had other plans and it ended up being on a different day that would work. So I jumped into an amazing group, with amazing women and Jen is top notch. She shows up every week. She allowed us all a safe space to share, to grow, to evolve, to celebrate, to laugh, to cry, to just be. I am so glad I got to partake in this experience and got to meet and bond with some pretty incredible people. If you get an opportunity to work with Jen you will not be disappointed. Get ready for some great things to happen. read more

I literally cannot say enough amazing things about Jen Seifert and the now multiple groups she runs. I started with Artist's Way on Zoom to help unblock my creativity. This weekly group, based on the book, is guided by Jen's special touches, she's now studying to be a psychologist and that comes through, meditation, commentaries and inspiration to make it a customized experience that's inspiring, builds community and does what is says it will. Then she started THRIVE-ish, special weekend retreats currently on Zoom full of special guests to lift your spirits and, again, inspire you to create whatever it is you want to work on, get started on that project or just come away feeling new and refreshed. These uplifting programs create community, are a safe place and a lot of fun. Since attending both I have sold two pieces of writing and placed a photograph in a juried art contest, something I never dreamed of doing before but gained the confidence to do. Thirdly, Jen now runs weekly accountability groups for a nominal fee, with the money going to a future weekend retreat. One hour a week on a Sunday night, she puts simple but inspiring and thought-provoking prompts up every 15 minutes for you to write about or you can just grab that time for yourself, uninterrupted and know you are going to work on your writing or artwork or whatever creativity is calling to you right then. It's an hour of artistry all to yourself. Whatever class you choose with Jen- and I can't highly enough recommend all three- you will be enlightened and and inspired to create and build the confidence to do so. Her classes have changed my life for the better and I look forward to each and every one. Any time spent with Jen is a blessing for my creativity. read more

Run don't walk to take this course with Jen. Being able to connect with other Artists is essential to progressing your creativity. Jen provides such a safe and comfortable space and makes you feel like you are not alone on your journeyHighly recommend!! read more

Jen's Artist's Way workshop was transformative in deepening my work as a photographer. The group setting deepened my commitment to the work and created an incredible support net that will continue long past the 12 week course. Jen facilitates the group with great compassion, wisdom and respect for the interplay of the artistic process with the human condition. A+! 10/10! 100%! read more
