Zenith Creative Coworking
A gym membership for your creative muse
You’ve got ideas… lots of them. You fantasize about the time, sometime other than now, that you’ll be able to do the work to bring your ideas to life.
Maybe you’re halfway through a fiction story, or you’re writing your memoir. Or you’re trying to write a speech or a series of essays or put together a piece of art that represents an important time in your life.
Whatever it is, it excites you so much every time you think about it and you can’t wait to work on it. The excitement and anticipation of time to work on your creative ideas get you through the mundane moments of your day.
You tell yourself “When I’m finished with this [fill in the blank: project, season, phase of life, phase of your child’s life, health issue, previous goal], I’ll work on this idea. But somehow that time never comes and your ideas languish. It’s hard with work, family obligations, and everything else in between that makes your creative ideas feel like they need to be on permanent hold…
But I’ve got news for you, sugar. Creativity doesn’t wait for the perfect moment.
The fantasy won’t amount to much if you never make the time to bring it into reality.
You have to carve those moments out of your daily life and make room for the muse to show up.
Zenith Creative Coworking is a dedicated space for your creative work.
It’s a space that gives you time, accountability, and guidance. It’s a space where you get to focus on the creative work that feeds your curiosity and your soul.
It’s a space where you get to work on the things that excite you.
There are only two rules:
thou shalt never do “work” during this time (no emails, no tasks, no bills, nothing that even remotely smells of productivity), and
thou shalt only do what truly excites you to do.
That’s it. You don’t have to “know what to do” or be a “great” (or even good) writer or artist. You don’t have to write; you can make art if you want. You don’t have to have a clear vision. You don’t have to have skillzzz.
All that’s required is a willingness to follow your creative intuition, impulses, and desires.
Here’s how it works.
We’ll have weekly, hour-long co-working sessions hosted over Zoom where you get focused creative time to work on the ideas that won’t leave you alone.
Co-working sessions are scheduled every Wednesday, alternating each week between a start time of 9:30 CST / 10:30 EST and 1:30 CST / 2:30 EST.
Every co-working session is followed by optional connection time with other writers and creators (about 30 minutes) where we’ll talk about what we’re working on… and more. Often, everyone is surprised where the conversation goes. No one has to stay, but think of it like this: the creative time is like a nourishing meal and the connection time is the dessert.
We’ll have a monthly live Q&A call where you can pop in and ask your high-level questions about writing and the creative process. Are you stuck on a writing project and don’t know how to get yourself unstuck? Are you trying to work out what to do with a plot, whether it’s fiction or nonfiction? Are you weighing which idea to pursue? Do you want to talk through your narrative arc? Any and all questions are allowed.
Please note this Q&A call does not include a review of your written work (but if that’s something you need, you can learn more about coaching and editing services here).
Once a quarter I’ll host a salon where we’ll interview one writer, artist, or creator. These events will be ticketed, but Members of Zenith will get free entry.

Hi, I’m Sara
I’m a writer, creative coach, and shamanic guide. One of my greatest pleasures is witnessing the glow on the faces of my clients after they've brought to life the ideas that have been quietly stirring in their minds, and helping them discover the depth of their stories and experiences.
My previous clients and their books have become New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers and have won awards from Nautilus, Bloomsbury, Axiom, Reviewers Choice, Indie Excellence, and Independent Press. Their books have been translated into 30+ languages and are sold all over the world. I have a keen ability to draw out meaningful stories and ideas from the people I work with and I bring a blend of empathy and intuition to my work.

What others have said
Kerry Siggins, CEO at StoneAge, Keynote Speaker & Podcast Host
"Before working with Sara, I was stuck. Writing is hard and I didn’t know where to begin. I knew I needed to “just write” but I was hung up on structure and needed help developing my idea. The program created the accountability I needed to write without worrying about the other stuff, and the structure become clearer which motivated me to keep going.
Being able to talk about the purpose and meaning of what I was writing, and what I wanted to do with it, has been so helpful and so much has come from those discussions. I was able to figure out how to use my existing content, which was a big relief, and I finished my book by the end of the year.”
Dan Chuparkoff, Tech Leader at Google, McKinsey, and Atlantis, Professional Speaker
"Sara is a deeply and diversely knowledgeable author, coach, and practitioner. From the first day, she helped to make sure I understood the creative journey and took the time to truly understand the big ideas buried inside of me. There's truly no other partner I'd want supporting me!"
Sheryl Netzky, Good Energy Heals
My goal was to figure out what to do with my body of work and what I had written already, so the fact that Sara was able to help me move forward with it has been profound. I thought it would take me three months just to organize all of it, but it only took a few weeks. Working through resistance and learning how to write on demand in addition to writing from inspiration has expanded my thinking and my writing abilities. This has been profoundly helpful."
Karen Laszlo, Business Consultant & Strategist | Co-founder MB&Sphere
“There’s no way I would’ve gotten to where I am in the writing process without this group. This has been so helpful. Sara has a way of asking the right questions at the moment that I need them, instead of deluging me with a firehose of information. She created such a safe space to be open about my work and my creative process.”
P.S. It’s not all serious all the time. We have a lot of fun. :)
