I am a parent of five children; haven’t been able to write outside of the work sessions at the studio. I’m always amazed at the progress I make when working with other people.
Willow
Life, inertia, and everyday distractions have this way of sapping my resolve, commitment, and energy to keep putting in the hours needed to see a project through.
I have the work sessions in my calendar and because of that, I somehow take my writing time more seriously. I know I just need to show up, and even if I’m feeling lost/stuck/purposeless, I usually end up feeling encouraged by other creatives when we do the listening pairs. Because I show up, little steps of progress are made. Every time.
Marcella Hill
Writing alone feels like a slug fest. Work sessions with the group are different. I feel supported, somebody has my back. I’m good for the long haul and go deep. My work has a whole different quality.
I have closer relationships with people I met in the IFS Studio, than with colleagues I saw daily at work for years.
Dan Matthews
The IFS Studio gives me peace of mind because I know I will get something done. I’ve made friendships during work sessions. It’s inspiring to see people working alongside you, slowly building an actual body of work.

According to research published by The American Society of Training and Development (ASTD), if you have an appointment with another person, you’re 95% more likely to achieve your goal, than if you tackle the work on your own.

Work sessions have been helping not just with productivity but with a boost in self esteem for showing up. I’m inspired by the gentle accountability of this community. The money I spend on the subscription is less than I’ve spent on writing at coffee shops where I’d stare at strangers and pretend to be writing.
Mark Lund
I dove in head first, attended two work sessions every day, and absolutely loved it. I learned, I met people, I gained resources!
Deb Farrar-Parkman
Work sessions have provided structure to my creative life. In the past, I would start to write rigorously and that would last a minute and a half. The regular sessions have made all the difference. I’ve found a work partner and every Saturday we do a 2-hour session and often find ourselves on a roll and going longer.
Cynthia Preston
I’m an actor who has been branching out into writing, producing and directing. I’m very careful about where I spend my time.
I’ve been attending work sessions every weekday morning …and I love them. They get me in front of the computer and down to work every day. It’s amazing what comes out. I love the community, I’m getting to know people, and it feels really good. We are supporting each other’s creativity and learning from each other. I can’t thank you enough.
