Creativity Hoarders Anonymous (CHAnon)

Do you have a creative soul that’s been quietly collecting ideas, projects, and dreams — but you find it hard to finish or share your work and put yourself out there? Welcome to Creativity Hoarders Anonymous — a supportive community where “hidden” creatives like you gather to unpack, explore, and celebrate their creative treasures.

Whether you paint, write, craft, design, or simply daydream — this group is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, shy, or unsure about stepping into the spotlight. No pressure to perform, just a circle that honors your unique creative journey.

Each week, we’ll focus on a common block that keeps creatives quiet — from self-doubt to overwhelm — and gently transform those barriers into insight and action. Sessions include themed reflections, flexible creative prompts, and a chance to share and be witnessed in a safe, encouraging space.

• You have creative dreams but get stuck in self-doubt
• You crave a deadline, some structure, or a reason to share
• You want to feel seen, not judged
• You’re ready to take brave, imperfect action

• A warm, judgment-free creative community
• Guided reflection around a weekly theme
• Creative assignments you can interpret your own way
• Optional sharing & gentle feedback
• Encouragement to show up as your whole, messy, magical self

We follow a simple meeting structure with a reading, a main share, and time for reflection or sharing. You’re welcome to listen, participate as you feel comfortable, or just be present. This is a low-stakes space—process over perfection.
