Welcome to Creative Intuition
The most original ideas rarely arrive through deliberate effort. They emerge in the shower, on a walk, at the edge of sleep — in the moments when your conscious mind relaxes its grip and something deeper takes over. Creative Intuition is a course about understanding this process, creating the conditions for it, and learning to trust the ideas that arrive from beyond the reach of logic.
The most original ideas rarely arrive through deliberate effort — they emerge when your conscious mind relaxes its grip. This course teaches you how to create those conditions on purpose.
What You Will Learn
Across four modules, you will begin by exploring the neuroscience and psychology of creative insight — what actually happens in your brain when an idea appears seemingly from nowhere. Then you will develop practices for reliably accessing creative flow states, including structured play, creative constraints, and the counterintuitive art of not trying. You will learn to bridge the gap between intuitive insight and finished work, developing the confidence and discernment to recognize which intuitive sparks are worth pursuing and how to bring them to life. Finally, you will explore how creative intuition operates beyond traditional creative fields — in science, collaboration, and across the long arc of a creative life.
If you have ever had a flash of insight that changed everything and wished you could have more of them, this course will show you how to cultivate that capacity deliberately.
Who This Course Is For
Creative Intuition is for anyone who creates — or wants to. Writers, designers, entrepreneurs, scientists, musicians, teachers, and problem-solvers of every kind. If you have ever had a flash of insight that changed everything, and wished you could have more of them, this course will show you how to cultivate that capacity deliberately.

The Adjacent Possible: How Intuition Connects Ideas That Logic Can't
Creative breakthroughs rarely come from thinking harder. They come from making unexpected connections between existing ideas — a process that runs on intuition, not analysis.

The Productivity of Play: Why Rest and Unstructured Time Fuel Creative Insight
The grind culture narrative gets creativity backwards. The most generative creative states — flow, incubation, serendipity — all require something that looks, from the outside, like not working.

From practitioners who've taken this course
As a designer, I always knew my best work came from somewhere I could not explain. This course gave me a framework for understanding that process and, more importantly, a set of practices for accessing it on purpose. I now structure my workdays around incubation and play, and the quality of my output has noticeably improved.

The structured play exercises broke through a creative block I had been stuck in for months. But what surprised me most was the lesson on constraints — I always thought limitations were the enemy of creativity, and this course showed me they are actually the engine of it. I use constraint-based exercises before every recording session now.

I came to this course as a skeptic. I am a research scientist, and the idea of 'creative intuition' sounded vague and unscientific. But the neuroscience in this course is solid, and the practices are grounded in real evidence. I have started building deliberate incubation breaks into my research process, and two of my most promising hypotheses this year emerged during those breaks.

Common questions
Not at all. Creative intuition applies to any domain where you need fresh ideas — problem-solving, entrepreneurship, writing, scientific research, cooking, parenting, teaching, and more. The cognitive processes this course explores are universal. They operate in every human brain, regardless of whether you identify as creative. If you have ever had a good idea arrive unexpectedly, you have already experienced creative intuition, and this course will help you access it more reliably.
Most creativity courses focus on surface-level techniques like brainstorming, mind-mapping, and lateral thinking exercises. This course goes deeper, focusing on the underlying cognitive and neurological processes that produce creative insight in the first place. You will learn why your brain generates its best ideas under specific conditions, how to create those conditions deliberately, and how to develop the discernment to recognize which intuitive ideas are worth pursuing. It is less about creative tricks and more about building a sustainable creative practice grounded in how your mind actually works.
Absolutely. The belief that creativity is an innate gift that some people have and others lack is one of the most persistent and damaging myths in our culture. Creativity is a cognitive capacity that every human being possesses, and it can be developed like any other skill. This course reframes creativity not as a mysterious talent but as a set of mental conditions you can learn to create. Many of our most enthusiastic students are people who never thought of themselves as creative and discovered, through the practices in this course, that they had been creative all along — they simply had not been given the right framework for recognizing and cultivating it.
Yes, and it will help in a way that goes beyond the usual advice to 'just push through.' Creative blocks typically arise when the executive control networks in your brain are overactive, suppressing the loose, associative thinking that produces breakthroughs. This course teaches you specific practices — incubation, structured play, constraint-based exercises, and the art of not trying — that are designed to quiet those control networks and reactivate your natural creative capacity. Many students report that understanding the neuroscience behind their blocks is itself liberating, because it transforms the experience from 'I am not creative enough' to 'I am using the wrong cognitive mode for this phase of the work.'
