Where women creators build the new world

Thank you for your question and for being one of the generous people making this world more equitable. And—yes! We have had people do this before. As long as the person wants to receive the membership and is ready to commit wholeheartedly to their own development, you are welcome to gift The Collective to someone you know, or sponsor one of our gift memberships. Email hello@lizkimball.com to set it up.

Yes! One of the benefits to joining The Collective is that you get access to Liz at a fraction of what it normally costs to work with her. As a member, you have the opportunity to be coached by Liz in the monthly calls. Once you are a member, you also have the opportunity to apply for The Collective Incubator (intimate small group coaching program). Liz also releases a very limited number of 1:1 sessions for Collective members to book at a special members-only rate. Do know that as The Collective continues to grow, we may be integrating more coaches into our programming—so the sooner you join, the more opportunities you will have to work with Liz herself. 

Because you’re feeling creatively burnt-out or like you’ve hit a plateau. Because you are curious about how transformational coaching and community could impact your life. Because you know it’s time to name and claim your ideas and creations, and treat them like the intellectual property they are. Because giving yourself consistent time and space to step back and look at your creativity and business will change your life. Because it’s much easier to divest from patriarchal conditioning in community. Because you are having trouble making time for and completing the things that matter most to you. Because you want to be in a space where both your ambition and your desire for peace can coexist. Because you’ve downloaded too many courses you are not using and you are ready to get into action. Because you’ve heard Liz say that when women gather, magic happens, and you want to know it for yourself. Because you want to create days that make you proud and a body of work that makes you prouder. Because you want to develop a work process that works with — not against — your biology…but you don’t know how to do it. Because your vision is so big it takes your breath away. Because you are ready to end the war with time. And creativity. And you are ready to trust yourself again. 

Yes. Scholarships are currently open and application instructions can be found here. We acknowledge the systemic injustices that continue to keep certain groups undercapitalized and economically marginalized and, in an effort to contribute towards rectifying this issue, we offer a limited number of full and partial scholarships to women in the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, women with a disability/disabilities, neurodiverse women, and other underrepresented groups who genuinely need this financial assistance. We also periodically announce additional scholarship opportunities – make sure you are on Liz’s mailing list to be notified. 

Our signature Collective meeting includes reflection & alignment tools, gold reports, resource sharing and brainstorming, accountability, goal-setting, and guidance from Liz. Often, we will utilize breakout rooms to deepen connections and integration.

The Monthly Coaching call includes the opportunity for several members (usually 2-3) to receive business, mindset, or creativity coaching from Liz and optional feedback from the group.

Creator Studio is like guided co-working—with a framework and prompts from Liz, creative sprints, and space for you to create in real time in the company of other creators.

Powerclasses are offered in a workshop format, usually with time for questions at the end.

All Collective meetings happen online on Zoom and replays of all of our events are always available in the portal.

The Collective Meeting happens monthly on Wednesdays, around the new moon (usually the 2nd Wednesday of every month), at 2:30 pm ET. Creator Studio happens on the last Friday of every month at 2:30 pm ET. The Monthly Coaching Call is usually the 3rd Wednesday at 4pm ET, and Powerclasses are scheduled as we go. All call dates and replays are published in the membership portal. Many of our members are not able to attend some or all of the meeting times, but enjoy watching the replays. We also have bonus offerings and surprises…

One of the intentions of The Collective is to bring women together from different backgrounds and industries so that we may rise higher together. You can find a wide variety of industry-specific learning opportunities elsewhere, but we have found that opportunities to cross-pollinate, and intentionally grow and expand together at the intersections are scarce.

The Collective is strengthened by the diversity and pursuits of its members – multi-faceted, ambitious women playing big and making waves including entrepreneurs, authors, healers, directors, producers, painters, photographers, bloggers, coaches, actors, dancers, choreographers, copywriters, teachers, activists, playwrights, podcasters, movement makers, founders, speakers, professors, course creators, and many intersections in between…

It’s quite likely you will find other members of the Collective who are in your industry, and we encourage you to find each other, and share resources, best-practices, and experiences.

Absolutely! We welcome members from all over the world. 

We stand firmly with the Black Lives Matter movement. So…no. 

The truth? No one has ever requested a refund in the history of The Collective. Most of our members have been growing with us for several years. But if after a month of attending the live calls, connecting in the member community, absorbing the content in the portal, and diving in and participating fully you feel that this community is not what you were looking for—you may email us to request a refund. Life is too precious to spend your time and money in the wrong place.

Yes, for now. These photos were taken prior to COVID-19, at our annual event. Previously, The Collective included live gatherings a few times a year. Currently, all of The Collective offerings are virtual, and we are exploring the depth and breadth of connection in the digital space (we are pleased to share that it is working!) We do hope to gather in person again one day when it is safe to do so. In the meantime, we share these photos because we love celebrating our members and their friendships and collaborations.

We hear you. Sounds like that novel is ready to be written! A core aim of ours is to provide you the resources, coaching, and accountability to complete your creative work. However—know that we believe that art and stories from new and underrepresented voices are necessary catalysts for a more just world—so by completing your novel, we believe you are contributing to our collective evolution. Sound good?

Absolutely. We have several members who are in the corporate world, and some have even had their employers pay their tuition. The only requirement for joining is that you are committed to developing and expanding your own creative voice and visions…

1. Most programs are focused solely on a specific area of either craft, making money, or visibility. We offer coaching and learning in all three areas because we believe compartmentalizing your growth is one of the reasons you may not be seeing the results you desire. All of the best magic happens at the intersection.
2. Most programs are focused on specific industries, but we have learned that  creative women experience greater individual and collective expansion when they can cross-pollinate in community with colleagues from different fields.
3. We are focused on individual AND collective expansion, because we believe the two cannot be separated (do you see a theme here?). We believe the inner and outer work must happen simultaneously for real change to occur.
4. We are committed to helping you evolve your creative process and practice of bringing your creative work into the world through a feminist lens. Many of the ways we have been taught to relate to our creativity involve burnout, blame, and shame. We believe there is a better way that we all know but have been taught to forget. Our work is dedicated to remembering how to have a pleasurable relationship creativity. 
5. We do not believe you should spend all of your time in a Facebook group or absorbing our content. We work very hard to give you the resources you need without overwhelming you with content, and we strive to create a balance of learning, coaching, inspiration, and SPACE. 

After the 2016 election, I was on a solo walk in the woods, trying to figure out how we were going to get through the next four years, and I asked myself: what is the opposite of the Patriarchy? And I heard a voice inside of me say: Creator Goddess Warrior Queen.

I shared this with The Collective and they asked me to put it on a tee-shirt. So I did. 

Collective members call each other Creator Goddess Warrior Queens (CGWQs, for short), because when we can see and name the power, creativity, beauty, and strength in other women, we can more easily see and name it in ourselves.

1. Because I was searching for a community that was like the intersection of a sisterhood and a mastermind, and that made space for us to be both artists and CEOs, and I couldn’t find it anywhere.

2. I feel that creative expression is one of the most powerful antidotes to the patriarchy that I know of.

3. Because I believe the world becomes more peaceful, fun, and effective when we have more women-driven stories, ideas, leadership, and art.
