This Workshop is a 12 week online course by Jake Kobrin and special guest facilitators to help you unleash your inner artist and to activate your creativity.

It is based off of The Artist's Way book by Julia Cameron.

Get Past Your Inner Critic & Get Into The Flow

Become a Channel for Beautiful Works of Art to Flow Through You

This is not a painting workshop, but a unique online course to help you realize your full creative potential, regardless of what medium you want to pursue.

Whether you are a painter, dancer, sculptor, writer, musician, photographer, singer, filmmaker, or even if you haven’t discovered and clarified your creative gifts yet, this course is for you!

The Artist’s Way is life changing, profound, dare I say miraculous. The purpose of this online course is to inspire people and get people creating again, regardless of what art form you feel called to pursue.

This is a rare opportunity to learn from master artists about how to become your most creative and empowered self.

I meet incredible talented people all the time who aren’t expressing their creativity.

Why not?

What is blocking you from being the abundantly creative person you were born to be?

Why aren’t you living up to your creative potential?

This online course is created with the intention to spark your creativity, to get you lit up, and inspired again! We will explore what is blocking you, and how to overcome this. It will be inspiring, challenging, and transformative.

This is a unique opportunity to hear perspectives from world renowned professional artists, in a way that The Artist’s Way has never been taught before.

This is a course for anyone, regardless of your age, experience level, or creative focus. This course is for:

The 23 year old project manager, who has lots of different things to coordinate and could use a creative outlet to manage her ideas,
the 45 year old hobby writer, who spends more time staring at blank pages, than actually writing,
the professional artist who feels blocked or bored or stagnated with their work,
the talented singer, painter, poet, etc who knows they should be making art but isn’t,
anyone who wants extra fuel, fodder, and inspiration for their creative work, and
anyone who thinks they have to come up with something super creative to justify calling themselves an artist.

Join visionary artist Jake Kobrin in this 12 week online course to help assist you in unleashing your inner artist, and liberate you from any creative blocks, using The Artist's Way book as a template. This course includes conversations with Jake and other world renowned, professional, and inspiring artists.

The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path To Higher Creativity is a self-help book by American author Julia Cameron. The book was written to help people with artistic creative recovery, which teaches techniques and exercises to assist people in gaining self-confidence in harnessing their creative talents and skills. Book not included in the course and must be purchased on your own.

"I am so honoured that you have decided to join me on this twelve week journey into radical transformation. I hope that much like the students who's lives were transformed during this journey last year, that you too will have major breakthroughs that will catapult you into new levels of clarity and creative expression." - Jake Kobrin

These are some testimonials from former students of Unleash Your Inner Artist:

Jamie says:

"When signing up for a course on Creativity with Jake I really didn't know what I was getting into, needless to say the course surpassed any expectations I may have had. Jake not only focused on the destination of creativity and unleashing the inner artist, but guided the journey with care and wisdom. He has a way of striking a balance between putting in the time and effort while being patient with one's Self and allowing the art to flow organically. As someone who does not draw or paint I wondered what exactly I would gain from his course, and not only did Jake's guidance impact my art but the confidence surrounding the act of sharing my art. If anyone is looking to take that next step in their creative journey, Jake is a wonderful guide to get to that next level."

Benjamin says:

"As Jake lights your way with the torch of radical vulnerability, a sharp deducing mind and amassed experiences in the artworld there is no other way but to feel inspired to move further towards your dreams in quantum leaps."

Jenny says:

"Jake combines insight, experience and mysticism into the foundational workbook The Artist Way. Jake shares his lived experience as an Artist, providing guidance and personal insights. As a gifted communicator, Jake opens up conversations that will spark your creativity and reach your inner most artist."

Students of other workshops that Jake has taught say:

"Jake is a beautiful human being, present, creative, loving. He knows how to listen & communicate clearly. He shares all of himself, holding back nothing of what he knows, also knowing what to share and when. He is humble in his endeavours, yet self empowered, growing daily & each moment. He is also empowering to others, as he sees and acknowledges the creative potentials in all humans." - Tesfalem Cruz

"Jake is an exceptional visionary artist, kind and humble, intelligent hue-man, lead by his heart, and well versed in traveling the inner and outer realms of this world. He creates a space of openness, safety and inspiration for those who wish to venture with his guidance in exploration of the artistic process and to express their inner movements on paper or canvas. Non judgemental, encouraging, playful. Whether you are a beginner or advanced in your study / expression of the visionary arts, Jake will surely lead you to a world of discovery and you will be amazed by yourself." - Eva Aourah

"Generally it's better not to have big expectations about workshops, but I had some for this art retreat with Jake. I wasn't disappointed! Jake gave tools (guided meditation, techniques, etc.) to connect with creativity and to trust myself again (25 years without drawing/painting). The experience went beyond enjoyment! I felt happy, then frustrated, then happy again, in a meditative happiness. I felt reconnected again with my true self." - Mee On

"I knew that I was an artist , that I was destined to fulfill my potential as an artist. And so I gravitated towards The Artist's Way. I'm not really sure how I first discovered it, but it had a huge impact, and it really helped me with the creative blocks that I was experiencing.

As I did the course, as I did the exercises, as I reflected on the contents of the book, I found myself becoming more and more creatively liberated and having more and more energy that I could devote to my creativity. I found myself, for example, waking up in the middle of the night with so much energy, unable to sleep, and I would go, and I would draw at like two in the morning, sometimes for hours and hours in the middle of the night.

I felt on fire with inspiration. It really helped. It really made a huge impact. And I've spoken to a lot of other people who have said that this book has really impacted them and really helped them. " - Jake Kobrin

Find the river and say yes to the flow.

Nurture your inner artist through solitude, self-nurturing, and self-intimacy.

What vision wants to come through you at this time?

What if you could become the most creative version of yourself?

The Artist’s Way is the seminal book on the subject of creativity. An international bestseller, millions of readers have found it to be an invaluable guide to living the artist’s life. Still as vital today—or perhaps even more so—than it was when it was first published more than one decade ago, it is a powerfully provocative and inspiring work.

In addition to the life-changing 12 week program, based on The Artist's Way,

Insightful podcast conversations will be offered by Jake Kobrin and other inspirational professional artists about their creative journey and the content of each of the chapters throughout the course.

We will also follow many exercises including:

More than 110 Artist's Way tasks and journal prompts.

More than 50 Artist's Way check-ins.

Fascinating and inspiring insights into the creative process from world renowned professional artists.

Practicing the Morning Page Journaling and the Artist's Date - two of the most vital tools set forth by Cameron in The Artist's Way.

Jake Kobrin would like to offer deep healing around your inner dialogue and self empowerment as an artist!

Jake wants to remind you that there is nothing to do, there is nothing to become; that creativity is as fundamental to your being as breathing. You already are the visionary you wish to be, if you can allow yourself to move past your blocks and let the visionary inside of you shine through!

Using The Artists’ Way workbook as a guide, in this online course Jake will teach essential techniques and tools as well as meditations and inner processes that students can use to clarify what they see in their minds eye and how to translate it into works of art. This course is suitable for artists of all types and all levels!

“The object isn't to make art, it's to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable.” - Robert Henri

Jake Kobrin

The work of Jake Kobrin is psychedelic, unusual, dark, beautiful, and elegant. His work seeks to illuminate experiences which Jake has had that are outside of the realm of normal waking consciousness, moving into numinous and visionary realms with natural ease. His work explores the interplay of shadow and light, both in the delicate modelling of the forms of his pictures but also in the character of the subjects he portrays, his work showing a willingness to embrace all aspects of emotion from revelation and peace, to fear and disharmony. He considers himself an "interdimensional midwife and conduit" believing that the role of the artist is to be able to move outside of themselves and to act as a conduit for higher consciousness to move through them. In this way he says, "I do not claim authorship for any of the works of art I have painted. I am a channel for Great Spirit to create through me." He currently lives in Ubud, Bali and he grew up in San Francisco. He is one of the few psychedelic artists with a formal classical art education, having studied classical realist drawing and painting in Florence, Italy at the Angel Academy of Art. He is also a tattoo artist, and is inspired by the traditional ceremonial contexts that ancient cultures held around tattooing. He is honoured to bring people through the ancient rite of passage of being tattooed in a way that is intentional and reverent. Besides painting and tattooing, Jake is also the founder and designer of a jewellery and fashion brand called Medicine Dragon Designs, and is a DJ and musician, as well as a tattoo artist, published writer, speaker, and podcaster.

Chet Zar

"Chet's art is beautiful & scary. His style has a modern twist crashing into a classical approach. I think Chet is a master painter on his way to making a great mark in our little world. Wanna do something smart with your money? Invest in a Chet Zar painting." - Adam Jones (TOOL)

Chet Zar is a world-renowned artist who works in a variety of different mediums. His interest in art and horror movies led to a career in the motion-picture industry. His contributions to the industry were in the form of sculpture and make-up effects. Zar designed and created prosthetic effects for such movies as The Ring, Planet of the Apes, and Darkman. His canvassed works are generally oil-based portraits. He considers his works to be extensions of his doodles, and describes the figures in his art as "very ugly and freakish on the surface" while still retaining "innocence about them". In addition to creating digital animations for Tool's live shows, Zar has created his own DVD of digital loops, entitled Disturb the Normal. His 'animated paintings' are made using Lightwave 3d and Adobe After Effects. On December 18, 2007, Tool released a DVD for their single "Vicarious", which contains a documentary with an appearance by Zar as a key member of the "Vicarious" video team. On 2010, he made the album cover artwork for Charred Walls of the Damned's self-titled album. In 2015 a documentary directed by Mike Correll examines the life and career of Chet Zar titled I Like to Paint Monsters.

A. Andrew Gonzalez

The work of internationally renowned artist A. Andrew Gonzalez can be found in museums, galleries and collections. He's known for the unique sculptural look of his paintings, as well as their power to move and inspire the viewer. The art of painting is usually an additive process, in which layer after layer builds an image. Gonzalez turns this on its head using a subtractive process developed through years of trial and error. His technique involves a gesso-like surface, transparent paints and, most surprisingly, an array of erasers. The artist describes his style as "a revival of the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic" and "mystical love poems to the soul". His focus is on the figure as both temple and vessel, sublimed by transformative forces. He captures his subjects suspended in an ecstatic moment; poised on the threshold of a new birth.

Emily Kell

Emily is a Boulder, Colorado based artist whose artistic focus is on portraiture and paintings that have an emotional and empowering element to them. Her artwork takes root in ideals of divine feminine, in the transmutative power of shadow work, and in the realms of mysticism and the subconscious. In her artwork and in life, she celebrates the spiritual journey of the human family, the sacred Mysteries, and the country of dreams. Through her artwork and poetry, Emily endeavors to peel back the veil a little bit further and to bring otherworldly beings and archetypal entities through and onto canvas. For the past decade, Emily has been painting women whom she has a personal connection to, in the hopes to reflect what she knows of their being through the lens of archetype. Emily shares much of her own personal experience of the human journey by way of her poetry, which is written throughout her paintings in a language of her creation. It is her hope that these pieces serve as windows into other worldly and subconscious realms, and as talismans of healing and reflection for the viewer.

Masvidal has also written and performed music for television and motion pictures through Still Motion Music, the Hollywood-based composer collective he co-founded. Composing the main title for the Emmy nominated NBC teen series Operation Junkyard and has scored series for H2, National Geographic, Bravo, ABC and PBS, Paul also worked as a session guitarist for Carsey Werner sitcoms That '70s Show and 3rd Rock from the Sun, and produced/played guitar on actor Jim Carrey's spiritually reflective children's book and accompanying soundtrack, How Roland Rolls. Masvidal lent his name to a line of signature instruments aptly named, Masvidalien Cosmo produced by Sweden's award-winning Strandberg Guitars. Masvidal has most recently entered into the creation of physical objects, developing Orgonite related devices and sacred geometric amulets. His interest in Cosmology, Consciousness, Extra-terrestrials, UFOs, crop circles and their connection to his spiritual interests have become integral to his work as an artist.

Caren Chroma

Caren Chroma is an artist who uses her paintings as Expressions, Reflections & Extensions of her creative life. Her muses stem from a fascination with Nature, capturing fragments of Transcendental States, honoring the Divine Feminine, and celebrating Source energy, which interweaves the entire life web.

Her scintillating work is described as Flowedelic, as she creates from an intuitive, flow-state & aims to embellish her chosen subjects with curvaceous line work, high chroma hues, & streaming dots.

Caren also exercises body & face paint on herself as the subject, and offers adornments at creative gatherings, events & one-on-one sessions. After discovering the

Luke Brown

Luke Brown was born with a paintbrush in one hand and a portal to the parallel in the other. If you have been to psychedelic culture gatherings around the world, you probably came across him live painting and displaying his artworks. His creative expression taps into something bigger than ourselves, activating the mind and stimulating the creative spirit within us. Born in Ontario Canada into a creative and supportive family, Luke received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Ontario College of Art and Design in 1998, and today is one of the world’s most well-known and sought out Visionary Artists. Visionary Art is art that purports to transcend the physical world and portray a wider vision of awareness, including spiritual or mystical themes, or is directly based upon such experiences. Luke intends to take the viewer through an alternative dimension; a transpersonal domain beyond time and space, contributing to the expansion of collective consciousness. The embodiment of mystical experience by means of the colourful symmetries in his work are timeless and magical. His paintings are direct translations of personal experiences of heightened inner-vision. Each of Luke’s paintings require hundreds of hours of work, taking anywhere from six months to two years to complete.

Erica Robins is a fine oil painter born and raised in Southern California. She has practiced her craft ever since she could pick up a pencil. She studied under the master artist Michael Ward. From there, she went on to attend California State University Northridge where she majored in the Fine Arts. Transferring from CSUN to Art Institute of California Los Angeles, she graduated with a B.S. degree in Graphic Design.

After going through years of personal turmoil growing up, Erica now achieves her dreams of being a prolific oil painter. She uses her art as a personal form of therapy to heal others as well as herself. She comes from a family of turmoil, addiction and depression. She has lost 3 people who were extremely close to her to suicide. Erica believes one of the reasons why so many people are unhappy today is because we have lost our connection to ourselves, to nature and to one another. She intends for her art to serve as a bridge into consciousness that we are all one and connected. She strives with every finished work to invoke feelings of empowerment within oneself and the divine connection that unifies us all. Her paintings have appeared in a number of showings, exhibits, galleries, and private collections throughout the world.

Stephanie Rose Freeman is an Australian visionary artist creating soulful oil paintings depicting erotic spirituality and radiant, empowered human beings. Based in Melbourne in her bus-home, Stephanie is exploring themes around empowered sexuality through her luscious erotic oil paintings and commissioned vulva portraits. Her paintings feature radiant humans basking in their sexual essence with flowers bursting out of them, often incorporating sacred geometry or energetic circuitry to hint at the energetic side of sexuality. She also paints erotic commissions, teaches painting workshops and offers The Yoni Painting Ritual – a transformational one-on-one painting ritual of body love and self-acceptance.

I want to provide transmissions to hundreds of thousands of people within my lifetime. Through my art.

Akira Beard

Art for me began in 2003. I was at the start of my final year in Art School when I found myself using the creative process with painting/drawing as a way to begin to discover who I am. I was in a state of misery almost daily. It was confusing because I was aware how everything in my life should have made me feeling the opposite. This internal conflict had grown to a point taking priority over everything else, and it was here when a professor in the program showed the possibility where art making could be so much more than painting and drawing for its own sake. It could very intentionally be inclusive of one’s inner life, working as a medium using ideas not limited to solving problems of composition and techniques with how to paint. “Paint what is important..’, Christopher this teacher would say. But what is important? For me the answer came evident— to overcome the despair that haunted me at the time. Christopher functioned like a therapist during our teacher/student sessions, and on one occasion introduced a model specifying how I might begin to use the techniques learned in the Fine Art program thus far, towards the purpose with beginning to know myself. He called it ‘Self, Culture, Nature.’ I can’t imagine him knowing how much to heart I would run with the idea. So much so was the case where from that day forward and over the course of the 15+ years to follow nearly every piece of artwork I created used it. And I’m proud to say that I not only overcame that initial state of inner conflict, but continue to experience progress in the deepest way from having assigned art the role I have, where it continues to be the conduit for experiences including growth, transformation, healing and more.

Get Past Your Inner Critic & Get Into The Flow

Become a Channel for Beautiful Works of Art to Flow Through You

This is not a painting workshop, but a unique online course to help you realize your full creative potential, regardless of what medium you want to pursue.

Whether you are a painter, dancer, sculptor, writer, musician, photographer, singer, filmmaker, or even if you haven’t discovered and clarified your creative gifts yet, this course is for you!

The Artist’s Way is life changing, profound, dare I say miraculous. The purpose of this online course is to inspire people and get people creating again, regardless of what art form you feel called to pursue.

This is a rare opportunity to learn from master artists about how to become your most creative and empowered self.

I meet incredible talented people all the time who aren’t expressing their creativity.

Why not?

What is blocking you from being the abundantly creative person you were born to be?

Why aren’t you living up to your creative potential?

This online course is created with the intention to spark your creativity, to get you lit up, and inspired again! We will explore what is blocking you, and how to overcome this. It will be inspiring, challenging, and transformative.

This is a unique opportunity to hear perspectives from world renowned professional artists, in a way that The Artist’s Way has never been taught before.

This is a course for anyone, regardless of your age, experience level, or creative focus. This course is for:

The 23 year old project manager, who has lots of different things to coordinate and could use a creative outlet to manage her ideas,

the 45 year old hobby writer, who spends more time staring at blank pages, than actually writing,

the professional artist who feels blocked or bored or stagnated with their work,

the talented singer, painter, poet, etc who knows they should be making art but isn’t,

anyone who wants extra fuel, fodder, and inspiration for their creative work, and

anyone who thinks they have to come up with something super creative to justify calling themselves an artist.

These are some testimonials from former students of Unleash Your Inner Artist:

Jamie says:

Benjamin says:

"As Jake lights your way with the torch of radical vulnerability, a sharp deducing mind and amassed experiences in the artworld there is no other way but to feel inspired to move further towards your dreams in quantum leaps."

Jenny says:

Students of other workshops that Jake has taught say:

In addition to the life-changing 12 week program, based on The Artist's Way,

Insightful podcast conversations will be offered by Jake Kobrin and other inspirational professional artists about their creative journey and the content of each of the chapters throughout the course.

We will also follow many exercises including:

More than 110 Artist's Way tasks and journal prompts.

More than 50 Artist's Way check-ins.

Fascinating and inspiring insights into the creative process from world renowned professional artists.

Practicing the Morning Page Journaling and the Artist's Date - two of the most vital tools set forth by Cameron in The Artist's Way.

Jake Kobrin would like to offer deep healing around your inner dialogue and self empowerment as an artist!

Jake wants to remind you that there is nothing to do, there is nothing to become; that creativity is as fundamental to your being as breathing. You already are the visionary you wish to be, if you can allow yourself to move past your blocks and let the visionary inside of you shine through!

“The object isn't to make art, it's to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable.” - Robert Henri
