I help therapists, coaches, and space holders learn to lead creative groups — so they can take clients beyond what talking reaches, grow their practice past the 1:1 ceiling, and help people find their own deeper intelligence.
Creative practice is non-verbal. It bypasses the critical mind, relaxes the nervous system, and enhances intuition.
It activates the default mode network, invites flow, and engages the whole body — reaching an intelligence words can't get to.
Regulate first,
then create.
The method
The Creative Subconscious Method integrates expressive arts, neuroscience, somatics, group facilitation, and clinical practice — into one repeatable modality.
No one does transformation alone. Seeing others wrestle with the same thing loosens shame's grip — the antidote is built into the room.
Marina Kurikhina trains therapists, coaches, and space holders to lead creative groups using the Creative Subconscious Method — an integration of expressive arts, neuroscience, somatics, group facilitation, and clinical practice.
Esalen faculty and a former Visiting Professor at CSU Monterey Bay, she comes from inside the art world — years as a curator and a lecturer on artists as agents of social change — and has spent ~20 years proving that creativity isn't decoration: it regulates the nervous system and reaches an intelligence talking can't.
For practitioners
One-to-one caps your reach and your income. Groups change the math.
More reach, healthier economics, real community, and a path toward deeper one-to-one work. The practice does the heavy lifting; you hold the space — and the tools teach clients to hold themselves. That leads to independence, not dependence.
Capped at 1:1, tired, only ever trained one-on-one — afraid you can't hold a room or lead creative practice without it falling flat.
A confident group leader with a repeatable method — deeper transformation for clients, bigger community, healthier economics, and clients growing toward independence.
Open to anyone curious, especially helpful for therapists and coaches.
