SUMMER of SOUL EXPRESSION
~ THE Creative Field Trip Pass ~
WE BEGIN ON JULY 5TH
The summer you stop saying, "I'll do it when life calms down."
A 6-week creative summer camp to help you stop putting yourself last, reconnect with your creativity, and finally make progress on the projects you've been longing to birth.
You don't need another productivity system.
You need time to play, permission to create, and a community that reminds you that your creative dreams matter.
This is your invitation to come back to yourself and make something meaningful this summer.
WHAT IS SOUL EXPRESSION?
“The passionate, authentic communication of your true self. It goes beyond logic or words, representing how you naturally bring your deepest essence, values, and creative energy into the world through art, relationships and everyday actions.”
-Sunil Panchal
A CREATIVE RETREAT WOVEN INTO YOUR REAL, FULL LIFE
If you're someone who…
- Keeps saying you're going to start the podcast, Substack, painting practice, or creative business "once things settle down", but somehow they never do.
- Misses the version of yourself who used to make things for the joy of it and wonders where she went
- Has journals full of ideas, screenshots of inspiration, and dozens of notes on your phone, but struggles to follow through because perfectionism keeps getting in the way
- Feels guilty spending time creating because there are always dishes to wash, emails to answer, people to care for, or work that feels more important
- Secretly wants a summer that feels spacious, playful, and nourishing instead of productive, optimized, and over-scheduled
- Is tired of consuming everyone else's ideas and is craving the experience of making something that feels like yours
Then THE CREATIVE FIELD TRIP PASS was designed for you.
“In working with Elyse, I began to remember-find-rediscover my own resources of self-connection and trust in my life. It feels good to be able to access joy when I need it and to be joyous in a way that feels deeply true to me.”
MEENADCHI,
Author of Decolonizing Non-Violent Communication
“If you're someone who wants to learn more about yourself, wants to grow your leadership, wants to step fully into your power and be the boldest and bravest version of yourself, Elyse is an incredible guide and companion on that journey.”
MATTICE HAYNES,
The Art of Community LLC
“Working with Elyse through her 1:1 coaching program helped me begin a process of unfolding that has transformed my life. While I feel it was a very spiritual process, Elyse also has a wealth of practical knowledge that she shared to help me realize my goals.”

WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM DIFFERENT?
This isn't six weeks of sitting on Zoom talking about creativity.
You'll actually create.
Every Sunday, we'll gather for Creative Field Trips, cozy in-person sessions at parks, beautiful spaces in nature, where you'll finally have protected time to work on the things you've been putting off.
You'll leave each session having made real progress, not because someone forced you to be productive, but because you had support, accountability, and space to finally show up for yourself.
THE STRUCTURE
EACH WEEK INCLUDES:
☀️ An in-person creative field trip
🌿 A plant ally
….and practical tools to help you embody a new way of relating to yourself, your creativity, and your life.
☀️ CREATIVE
FIELD TRIPS
WEEKLY DATE WITH YOUR CREATIVITY
Sundays | 10am-12pm est (In-Person)
This is where the practice comes alive.
Each Sunday, we'll gather in a beautiful place in nature for a nourishing morning of creativity and connection.
We'll begin with a guided meditation aligned with our weekly content theme, before settling into dedicated time to create alongside one another.
YOU MIGHT BRING:
• Writing or journaling
• Art or creative projects
• Business ideas and visioning
• Content creation
• Something half-finished
• Something you've been avoiding
• Something you're simply curious to explore
I'LL BRING:
Tea or a light snack that incorporates our plant ally for the week.
A plant ally is a plant, tree, herb, fungus, algae or other member of the green world that we are in a sacred relationship with and that helps us to cultivate an experience of wellbeing in our life. (Weekly plant allies included below👇🏽)

HI, I'M ELYSE
I help ambitious, heart-led humans stop overthinking, quiet their inner critic, and make room for the ideas and creative projects that make them feel most alive.
My work supports people in trusting themselves, reconnecting with their gifts, and finding community that nourishes their growth, so they can contribute to meaningful change without abandoning themselves in the process.
A few years ago, I realized I had become incredibly good at helping others pursue their dreams while quietly putting my own creativity on the back burner.
I was tired, productive, and doing all the "right" things.
But I missed my creative self.
I missed making things simply because they delighted me. I missed following ideas because they felt exciting and alive. I missed having spaciousness to play, explore, and create without an agenda.
So I started making room for it again.
I danced. I wrote. I explored new ideas with curiosity instead of pressure.
And something surprising happened.
I didn't become less productive.
I became more myself.
Deepening my relationship with my creativity and intuition brought me home to parts of myself I didn't realize I was missing. My life didn't suddenly become perfect, but it became richer, more meaningful, and much more my own.
Summer of Soul Expression is the kind of space I wish I'd had, a place where creativity isn't another thing to optimize, but something you're gently supported to keep returning to. A place where you can stop waiting for the perfect time and finally make room for the ideas, dreams, and creative projects that keep tugging at your heart.
I'd love to support you in finding your way back to that same sense of creative aliveness.

By the end of THE SUMMER you'LL HAVE…
✔ A creative project you've consistently shown up for
✔ Real progress on something that's been sitting on the back burner
✔ Greater trust in your own rhythms and desires
✔ New practices that make creativity feel sustainable
✔ A community that celebrates your becoming
✔ The cherished memory of a summer where you finally made room for yourself again
THIS IS THE CREATIVE SUMMER YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR…
You don't need to push harder.
You don't need another productivity system.
You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin.
You need space to slow down.
To notice what you've been longing for.
To make room for the ideas, dreams, and creative projects that keep tugging at your heart.
I believe a more beautiful future is built through the contributions of ordinary people who dare to create, imagine, and share what is uniquely theirs to offer.
Every poem, gathering, art piece, conversation, and act of creative expression sends ripples outward in ways we may never fully know.
Your creativity matters, not because it has to change the world, but because it changes the way you move through it. It helps you feel more alive, more connected, and more fully yourself. And from that place, what you create naturally becomes a gift to others.
I would be honored to spend this summer creating alongside you!

“Working with Elyse is soul affirming and thought provoking. Ultimately her energy is trustworthy, it's solid, it's compassionate and it makes me want to do the deep work. I already feel so bolstered emotionally and spiritually by the work that we are doing together."
SALIMAH PERKINS,
HIGHEST GOOD WELLNESS
“Elyse gave me the tools, illuminated limiting beliefs that kept me from growth, and fueled my confidence to break out of the reliable mold in which I had become so comfortable. I strongly recommend Elyse to anyone looking for a coach who can support you in both a logistical and soulful way.”
MIMOSA COLLINS,
REJOYN WHOLENESS
“When I first met with Elyse 1:1 I had no idea what I wanted out of our sessions. She truly gave me the space to reflect, but most importantly, helped me through my blocks and fears! This was needed and I am not sure I would had done it on my own. She definitely helped me get my business started and I am so grateful for her help!”
