Inward & Artward Creative Facilitators

Inward & Artward Certified Facilitators are artists, educators, and community-builders who have trained in the art of guiding creative experiences with care, intention, and integrity. They are rooted in the belief that creativity is both deeply personal and profoundly communal, and they carry the skills to design workshops that are accessible, inclusive, and transformative. Each facilitator is equipped not only with tools to spark imagination, but also with practices that honor scope, nurture safety, and empower participants to explore their own creative voices. Join us for online creative writing workshops, self-expression courses, creativity classes, and more.

  • HANNAH KAMINER


    My goal as a creative facilitator is to invite other artists (and myself) into experiences and spaces that offer a creative nesting place of camaraderie, acceptance, and growth, so that they can birth, nurture, develop, and let fly their boldest and bravest creative projects. This is also so that we can all live in a world where that art is alive, shared, and celebrated.
