Whether you're creating a piece of artwork, launching a business, or leaving your nine-to-five to freelance, doing something on your own requires staring down some scary stuff.

Questions come up, like, "why would anyone pay me to do this anyway?" Or, "who cares about what I'm making?"  This is a class about the fears and doubts that emerge when you try to do something new, and how to befriend them.  

We'll explore some helpful readings on the subject, connect about what we're working on and the challenges we're facing, and learn about some practices to support a creative life, in which fear becomes a tool rather than a stumbling block.
