After this Program, I make sense to myself for the first time in my life. I always thought of my life as kind of chaotic, and now I see the higher order of coherence. Thank you. It's beautiful.

Answers to the questions you are holding about your identity, purpose, and direction are all connected to your creativity.
If you’ve ever struggled to find or name your purpose…
If you’ve ever felt like you are “too much”…
If you’ve ever been confused by how all of your different interests, passions, and gifts are supposed to fit together…
You are probably a complex creator!
The framework and tools in the Creative Constellations Program are designed to help complex creators like you stop accusing yourself of being “all over the map” and start experiencing a powerful sense of coherence and wholeness - WITHOUT denying vital parts of who you are.
I can't recommend Sara Saltee's Creative Constellations program enough. It's like ‘what color is your parachute’ plus ‘Myers Briggs’ but way better.
If you are at a transition in your life, not knowing how to spend your precious life energy, seriously check this out.- Karin B., Spring 2021
In the Creative Constellations Program, you’ll discover a new way of thinking about creativity and the nature of your genius.
Those of us with multiple gifts, talents, interests, and passions often feel like we are “too much” or “too confusing.” We can feel pressured to “pick a lane,” “find a single passion” or generally dumb ourselves down to fit into the narrow categories that others have devised.
The truth is that our true genius lies in the harmonious interplay between all the creativities in our constellations. We are stronger and more powerful when we embrace all of who we are.
Unlike other creativity programs that start with the assumption that you are creatively blocked or deficient and that you need tips or tricks to “get more creative,” in this program, we start from a very different belief.
Here, we begin with the assumption that (whether or not you are an artist) you are infinitely creative. What we strive to discover is: HOW are you creative?
Using original frameworks and tools developed by Creativity Coach Sara Saltee, you will name and claim all of the ways you are creative and discover the deep patterns underlying your inner complexity.
You’ll come away with a visual map of your multi-faceted creative identity that validates your wholeness and guides you to the projects you’ll find most satisfying and fulfilling.
From the menu of 25 Creativities that Sara’s research has identified, you’ll claim the array that you express most naturally and energetically. Then, you’ll explore how they interrelate with each other!
This is most one of the most wonderful courses I've ever taken in my whole life. And I'm a learning junkie.

The coursework is absolutely masterfully presented. Each week, it confronted something inside me, stirred the pot to think and reflect about it and THEN offered solutions to support moving through it. Not only that, I’ve gained insights to help me feel better about what got stirred up AND about myself as a human being in the creative-flow of life!

FAQ
Q: I’m not sure about adding a one-on-one coaching session. Can I add coaching later?
Absolutely! You can add one or more one-on-one coaching sessions at any time during or after the course. 60-minute coaching sessions can be purchased in packages of one, three, six, or twelve sessions. Learn more about coaching with Sara.
Q: What will happen in the live discussion sessions?
You’ll come to each live session having watched a video lecture, done some reading and journaling, and undertaken an activity. So, we’ll have lots to talk about! We’ll start with Q&A to make sure any questions get answered, then we’ll share responses to a selection of the journaling prompts, and compare notes about what you learned in your activity. Sometimes we’ll talk as a whole-group, and other times we’ll go into break out sessions for smaller group sharing.
Q: What if I have to miss a discussion session?
Discussion sessions are always recorded, so if you must miss one you’ll be able to catch up easily. If you have questions you’d like Sara to answer in the session, you can submit them via email ahead of time and she’ll answer on the video.
Q: Will I have to talk in the discussion sessions?
No, sharing is always optional. You are always free to pass.
Q: I’m thinking about inviting a friend/family member to join the class with me - will that be awkward?
Coming to the program with a friend or family member can be a wonderful approach! The content of the course tends to stir up a lot of self-reflection and can bring new awareness to parts of you that may have gotten left behind or disavowed in your life. It can be fantastic to go on the journey with someone you love and trust. Just be sure that you bring someone with whom you feel comfortable sharing your personal history and your authentic self.
