This weekly drop-in workshop will offer generative creative prompts and informal discussions that help illuminate the values that we carry into our creative practices. The workshops are suitable for creative people of all kinds. 

The process of decolonizing oneself and one’s practice is an introspective, engaging, and slow process. For example, which figures have had the greatest impact on your creative practice so far? Are there new directions you might want to consider in your work? In a friendly and low-stakes environment, folks can start to gently unpack their beliefs around creativity and return to their work with new eyes. 

These sessions are held in-person at Beaver Mill in North Adams, MA.

We will use our sessions to talk through your creative work and I will offer tailored, generative feedback. These sessions are best for considering both broader challenges in one’s creative practice, as well as for receiving feedback on a specific, ongoing project.

I apply my exprience as a curator, professor, mindfulness meditation teacher, and arts adminstrator to cultivate a safe and unique space of discussion and reflection. The sessions have been described as “therapy for our art practices.”

I have extensive experience working with writers, arts workers, visual artists, musicians and sound artists, in particular, but the sessions are suitable to creative practitioners of any kind.

If you’re interested in working together, but are unsure if this is the right format to you, please feel free to schedule a free 15-minute consultation, or reach out at studio.agduplan@gmail.com.

Here are some examples of things we can address:
  • Feeling stuck while working on a project, and unsure about what direction to take the project in
  • Being introduced to work by other artists and writers who might be relevant to you
  • Considering new creative directions in your practice
  • Reflecting on your arts career so far and setting goals for the future
  • Revisiting your existing work practices and setting up new practices
These sessions are available as single sessions, or as a bundle of sessions (best for working through more complex issues).

Scheduling link will be sent upon purchase. Both virtual and in-person sessions are available. In-person sessions are held in North Adams, MA.

in these intuitive journaling sessions, folasade will guide you through a presence practice to help you hear the words that come to you unprompted and capture them on the page. this is a great space for folks who are used to writing in a more structured way, trying to achieve a specific goal (i.e. the writing you do for work, research writing, writing for an audience, etc). these sessions will help you to loosen any rigidities within your writing practice, letting go of tendencies to write coherently, within a particular structure, for a particular audience, or otherwise censor/edit yourself. this ongoing offering is meant to help you reveal the words that come from your unique inner knowing.

i have been meticulously keeping journals for as long as i've been able to write. this practice has morphed into writing intuitive poetry and other self-reflective works in the last couple of years. i’m excited to share my process with you all!

sessions are every sunday, 12-1pm EST and held virtually. sign up by clicking the “book” link below.



I will draw on a my 17-year meditation practice across a number of modalities, including Advaita Vedanta, a number of Buddhist schools, Bhakti Yoga, and secular meditation (i.e. mindulness meditation) to tailor a 30-minute guided meditation to your particular needs and experience level. I enjoy working both with beginners and more experienced meditators. After guided practice, we’ll have an additional half hour to talk through any concerns arising in your meditation practice.

Some things we can work through:
  • Making time for meditation in daily life
  • Finding the right style of meditation for you
  • Attentional issues in meditation
  • Integrating meditation and creative practice
  • Relationship-focused meditation practices, e.g. lovingkindness meditation
  • Connecting more deeply with the body

These sessions are expansive, allowing for compassionate discourse on clients’ thoughts, emotions, and relationships; however, these sessions are not a suitable replacement for therapy. It is best to pursue meditation and therapy in tandem, if possible.

Scheduling link will be sent upon purchase. Both virtual and in-person sessions are available. In-person sessions are held in North Adams, MA.

I feel incredibly lucky and have so much gratitude for getting to learn from and share space with An. Please take what you want, erase what you don't need, or edit anything that might need changing.
I couldn't believe when taking a multi-session class with An, Research-Based Practice for Creative Writers, that they shared their Calendy link, offering office hours for anyone in the class—I almost immediately took them up on their generosity, and we met. I still cannot believe how An is changing-shaping my life (this sounds like an exaggeration, but it's not).

- Testimonial from Georgia
Anaïs Duplan is one of the most humble, kind, creative and insightful people we have had the pleasure of writing and collaborating with. The creative writing workshop, Decolonizing the Creative Voice, was a playful and potent portal into the disrobing of dominant white supremacist values and patterning internalized and imposed on our creative musings.

-Testimonial from
Evie Toland
An has guided and mentored me by asking questions that have encouraged me to consider my work in entirely new ways; by sharing texts and authors that I continue to reference and look to for inspiration; and most of all, by modeling a way of engaging with poetry that is new and revelatory to me.
