What is Creative Courage?
Creative Courage is a new programme from 64 Million Artists designed to give you the space to reflect on what is next for you, the courage to do it, and the community to support you.
In challenging times, finding the energy and time for yourself to make change can be difficult. Whether it’s implementing new habits, finding a new job, putting an idea into the world, starting a family, moving on from old relationships, change is hard at the best of times. But when the world feels heavy and time is squeezed, this can feel even harder.
At 64 Million Artists we believe that accessing our creativity can help give us the energy for the change we want to make in our lives, and in the world around us.
This 6 month programme will give you time and structure to nurture your creativity, make time for self-reflection, connect with others, and develop a structured approach to exploring new possibilities and making commitments to yourself.
Whatever the change is you want to see in your life; whether you’re a parent or carer, a team leader or manager, a graduate, someone retiring, a dreamer or just someone looking to rekindle a spark in yourself; this programme is designed to help you understand the change you want, and implement it with curiosity, care and courage.

Meet your faciliators
Jo Hunter
Creative coach and work culture thought leader
Meet Jo, the unstoppable force behind 64 Million Artists, a visionary who turned her life around by rediscovering the power of creativity.
Once a perfectionist haunted by the fear of failure, Jo's journey to self-discovery took a pivotal turn during a necessary sabbatical from work when she found herself drowning in the demands of adulthood, chasing speed and perfection.
During this time, Jo embraced failure creatively, which catalysed a life-changing shift, freeing her from daily anxiety and enabling her to live boldly. While not claiming to be perfectionism-free today, Jo now thrives on taking risks, collaborating with diverse individuals, and radiating happiness.
This creative metamorphosis propelled Jo into the role of Founder and CEO of 64 Million Artists in 2014. Leading the charge, she now revels in steering a growing team, finding joy in strategic thinking and empowering her colleagues to dream big.
As the architect of leadership programs across the UK, Jo witnesses firsthand the transformative power of different environments in helping people discover themselves and embrace new perspectives.
Get ready to embark on a creative journey with Jo – where risks are embraced, challenges are conquered, and joy is rediscovered.
