grounded support for imaginative work


Creative minds often get caught in a curious paradox: we tend to spend just as much time making art, as we do undoing it in our head:  second-guessing, overthinking, avoiding.

This internal tug-of-war keeps creatives caught between conflicting forces, drawing and erasing simultaneously.

The greatest act of rebellion is choosing to love our creative life more than we love cooperating with our own oppression.*

*Wise words from Clarissa Pinkola Estés.

Stop fighting against your creative nature and start creating from it.

I’m a creativity guide, therapeutic arts practitioner, and strategic thought partner to artists, culture-builders and creative teams. I help them re-member their creative nature, channel their imagination in generative ways, and create from a rooted place.

hi, I’m pascale

Creativity is a living body: let’s tend to it.

Dear Creative Mind is a space for those brave enough to imagine different realities, and committed enough to do the inner work that makes that possible.

client stories

“Working with Pascale has been the best investment I could make as I stepped into the 'pathless path' of becoming a professional creative. Right from the start, I found her to be a wonderful listener; attentive, empathetic, and willing to meet me exactly where I was. Pascale has inspired me to believe in my creative identity while teaching me the compassion I need on days when showing up feels impossible. She taught me how to sit with discomfort and allow those waves to pass. Working with Pascale has been one of the most transformative engagements of my life, and I will always cherish it. I'm deeply grateful for Pascale’s guidance as I continue to inhabit and embrace my life as an artist.”

"The transformation from vague idea to grounded vision within a year has been transformative for myself and my businesses. Pascale helped me clarify my ideas and create a sustainable structure that would honor my energy. She guided me through periods of tension, ungroundedness and perfectionism with wisdom and grace. I owe so much of my success, clarity and groundedness to the exercises, guidance, tools and relationship which unfolded in this coaching container. I am deeply grateful for this year-long chapter with Pascale."

“Pascale is a wonderful, gentle, calming presence. She teaches the exercises very simply and well; she explains clearly and easily, making the participant eager to start the exercise. I loved the event so much. It was simple and effective and I feel a massive shift when it comes to my art. I was able to give a voice to blocks I'd been experiencing. Pascale was able to help us identify what stood in the way of our creativity but also helped us set up 3 ways to push us gently to our edge, and, then helped us prepare soft places to land once we went to the edge. I thought that was so well-done. She's an excellent coach and teacher, very compassionate, loving and kind.”

  • "One of the most wicked destructive forces, psychologically speaking, is unused creative power ... If someone has a creative gift and (...) doesn't use it, the psychic energy turns to sheer poison."

    - Marie-Louise von Franz

  • "To create is a profound experience of the value of life; to create is to crave a certain kind of life that flows in that cycle, to understand it as deeply as possible and to be changed by it. Creative life is a spiritual practice."

    Clarissa Pinkola Estés, The Creative Fire

  • “Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.”

    Pablo Picasso

  • ​"It is play, not properness, that is the central artery, the core, the brain stem of creative life. The impulse to play is an instinct. No play, no creative life. Be good, no creative life. Sit still, no creative life. Speak, think, act only demurely, little creative juice."

    The Red Shoes, Clarissa Pinkola Estés

  • "Art Should Comfort the Disturbed and Disturb the Comfortable."

    Cesar A. Cruz

  • "The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.”

    Francis Bacon

  • “Art is the search for meaning. It’s about how to be alive, to understand yourself, to be in the world. It’s a search for the things that matter.”

    Sophie Calle

  • "The artist’s job is to be receptive to forces greater than themselves, whether it’s a divine force or the collective unconscious."

    Rick Rubin

  • “Art is a wound turned into light.”

    Georges Braque
