Rewatch our conversation and FAQ session

Join Lerato Stanley-Dunn and Jo Hunter to learn everything there is to know about Creative Courage and what you'll get from the programme.

What is Creative Courage?

We know that making a change, whether that's putting your creative project into the world, rethinking your career, embracing new relationships, or finding time for yourself, can feel overwhelming. Change is hard at the best of times, But when the world feels heavy and time is squeezed, finding the energy and time for yourself to make change can feel impossible.

That’s where Creative Courage comes in.

Creative Courage is more than just a programme, it’s a journey. A journey of creativity, reflection, and transformation designed by 64 Million Artists to help you reconnect with yourself, explore new possibilities, and find the courage to act. It’s a space where bold ideas are born, long-held dreams reignited, and powerful shifts take root.

Over four months, this programme offers you the structure, community, and inspiration to navigate those changes with care and curiosity. It’s not about perfection, it’s about permission. Permission to pause, reflect, and step boldly into what’s next.

Our participants include everyone from parents seeking space to reconnect with their creativity to team leaders looking to inspire change in their work, get out of the day-to-day weeds, and reconnect with their big dreams.

Whether you’re navigating a career transition, embracing a personal reinvention, or simply looking to feel more like you again, Creative Courage will guide you. It’s a space for anyone ready to rekindle their spark and take that first courageous step toward a brighter, more creative future.

Are you ready to join us and see what’s possible?

Be inspired by the changes our last cohort made

Due to the nature of the programme, some participants names have been redacted.

Alice-May Purkiss, Participant from cohort 1

Creative Courage is a place to explore what it is to live a creative life alongside fear. Fear is natural when it comes to doing things you care about, but the Creative Courage programme equips you with the tools to help you face those fears head on. The workshops were full of inspiring content and the peer groups provide a fantastic wealth of expertise, experience and joy. I loved being part of Creative Courage and I'd encourage anyone who is thinking about doing things differently to join.

Participant from cohort 1

A chance to meet some inspiring people from different walks of life, but with similar interests to me. The group activities I tried were fun and helped build my confidence to try new things and express my thoughts. The online events were very well managed and facilitated

Adisa Banjanovic, Participant from cohort 1

If you want to learn how to approach some mundane daily life or work tasks in a a more flexible and creative ways, join the Creative Courage programme. If you want to connect with like minded people and get inspired with shared sense of curiosity and learning from each other, this programme is definitely for you.

Joy McLean, Participant from cohort 1

I loved the opportunity to be part of Creative Courage, to share, connect and learn with others. It was scary at times but, what I came away with, is that Creative Courage is becoming comfortable with discomfort.

Participant from cohort 1

Lerato and Jo offered a calm, creative and confidence-boosting environment which you could tune and relax into quickly at every session. Really enjoyed it, thank you!

Participant from cohort 1

It was fantastic to make connections with others who were committing to be more creative - and to find ways to support each other to step into that space more so positively.

Katherine, Participant from cohort 1

I loved the encouragement, space and freedom for us each to take our own path through the course. Using creative practices freed me up from my own thought loops, widening my view of the possible and building my confidence in how I integrate and use creativity in my work.

Jacqui Hitt, Participant from cohort 1

I loved having regular time and space to try new things and explore new creative approaches. Always a joy to be in a community of like-minded individuals. 

Participant from cohort 1

Creative Courage has been a great programme to make time and space to reflect, be inspired and enriched, build networks with others and to give permission for the unexpected. The working group has been invaluable to support this process. There has been a generosity of sharing and there are so many things I want to return to, to build my practice. I am moving forward knowing I am, and will continue to be creatively courageous.

Liz, Participant from cohort 1

The Creative Courage programme gave me strength, encouragement, resources and new connections. It has supported me and nudged me strongly in the right direction at a time of personal change. The opportunity to play and explore, to celebrate my own and other people's imagination, freedom and skill, was more transformative than I could have hoped. There are too few spaces like this in our culture and this one is precious. I loved the spirit of it and I'm so glad I signed up.

Participant from cohort 1

I came into this programme feeling uncertain about my practice, and lacking confidence after a challenging period at work. I am leaving much lighter, more willing to take creative risks with my colleagues, and more connected to my own inner spark.

Participant from cohort 1

I loved the energy it created in my life to feel confident in the journey I am embarking. It's hard to stand by a new chosen path when the world tells you the one you are already on is great and so why would you change. I loved the feelings of fear and risk melting and shape shifting into creative courage.

Meet your faciliators

Jo HunterJo 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.
