Begin with a mini-course to whet your appetite for creative self-exploration, then maybe an eBook or two.
You will need your usual art or music equipment - then, as you get more excited, you may want to acquire some new equipment or materials to work with.
No. They are all a single one-off payment, and you can access them any time you wish.
Feeling stuck is natural at times. Consider exploring different types of courses or eBooks, or incorporating mindfulness practices to deepen your experience. By all means get in touch too. ;)
Most artistic and musical 'language' and paractice is taught as if there is right and wrong. As if we need to input the right 'stuff'. Freedom involves getting to know and understand a certain amount of 'stuff', but not getting bogged down in it. So The CFA here is to help unlearn and undo those aspects that constrain your innate inventiveness, preventing you from being YOUR authentically creative self.
A consistent pursuit of YOUR own creativity reduces the stress of 'trying to get things right'. Your appreciation of much broader contexts of 'art' will connect you with the bigger picture of LIFE. It also enhances mental clarity, and promotes overall well-being, both physically and emotionally.
In view of the nature of this academy, it would seem inappropriate to certify your 'unlearning'!. The FEELING you have of being your own master will far outweigh any need for certifying something from some authority outside of yourself. YOU are the prime authority, and author of your own authentic creativity.
Steve Slimm is not your typical mentor! (Yes that's me)
I'm an artist, a musician, a poet, and a lifelong explorer of what it means to create from the inside out.
For over four decades, I've lived and breathed creative freedom — not as a theory, but as a lived reality. My paintings have been studied in UK art foundation courses for their light and emotional depth. My music is born from improvisation, not repetition. And my writings dance between the practical and the transcendent.
But more than any title or achievement, I like to think I bring presence.
I listen beneath the words.
I feel where the life force is trying to move.
I usually have a knack for sensing what wants to emerge — and helping you trust it enough to follow it.
You won’t find rigid systems here.
You’ll find someone who has walked the path of unlearning.
Someone who knows that real creative power doesn’t come from knowing more — but from shedding what no longer fits.
If you’re yearning to return to the source of your creative spark — or if you’ve never quite known how to reach it in the first place — I offer a grounded, heart-led space to explore. No formulas. No pressure. Just a quiet kind of facilitation that invites you to come home to yourself.
If this site is resonating — if it’s stirring something inside — then it’s possible I might be the right person to support you in your quest for creative freedom.
Maybe, maybe not. Here are a few pointers that might suggest a yes:
✅ You already have some experience — in painting, playing, or simply living creatively — but something feels stuck, or tight, or dry.
✅ You’re longing to feel that spark again — the flow, the mystery, the aliveness
✅ You’re tired of trying to do it “right,” and ready to explore doing it real.
✅ You’re not looking for a how-to. You’re looking for a way through.
✅ You want a kind of presence that listens more deeply than most.
✅ You’re drawn to creative freedom not just as an idea — but as a way of life.
And here are a few reasons we might not be the best fit:
❌ You’re a concert-level performer needing technical direction or repertoire development.
❌ You’re looking for jazz improvisation methods or formal music theory help.
❌ You’re an artist wanting step-by-step instruction or portfolio development.
❌ You want measurable results, fast.
❌ You expect a structured curriculum — this is not that.
❌ You're working under institutional pressure (e.g., art school deadlines) where experimentation feels unsafe.
(Of course, I won’t refuse anyone. But I’d rather we not waste time or money if our paths aren’t truly aligned. I once went to Jeff Smith for help with my improvisation — turned out he was a jazz purist. Wrong kind of freedom. Right kind of learning.)
Whether you’re just flirting with the idea of mentoring — or you know this is what you need — The Creative Freedom Questionnaire is your next step.
This short reflection will help both of us::
1. FOR YOU: You decide whether mentoring is right for you
2. FOR YOU: You clarify what you're really looking for
3. FOR ME: You name what's currently in the way
4. FOR ME: I get to know you before we meet
5. FOR US: We feel into whether we’re a good fit
Here's just one question - but it’s the right one:
