30 Days of Creative Exploration Challenge
I’ve always believed creativity is cyclical — it ebbs and flows, like the moon. After a season of quiet, I feel called to spark something new, not just for myself but for anyone who longs to reconnect with their inner artist. That’s why I’ve created my first-ever community challenge, and I’d love for you to join me.
✨ 30 Days of Creative Exploration: Join Me This September
There are seasons in life when our creativity feels vibrant and unstoppable — and others when it goes quiet. For me, art has always been a place of healing, play, and magic. But like many of you, I’ve had times when my sketchbooks gathered dust and the spark felt far away.
That’s why I created the 30 Days of Creative Exploration Challenge — a gentle, playful way to reconnect with your inner artist, one prompt at a time. This September, we’ll take the journey together.
🌙 What is the Challenge?
Each day for 30 days, you’ll find a creative prompt designed to spark inspiration, encourage exploration, and build consistency. The prompts are simple but meaningful, with two optional twists you can try:
🌙 Magickal Twist → weave in intention, symbolism, or ritual
🎨 Artsy Twist → experiment with technique, style, or composition
You can follow the prompts literally, interpret them loosely, or blend both twists to make them your own.
🌳 Themes
To make the challenge feel focused and approachable, it’s broken up into 5 stages, with each stage guided by a theme:
(Sept 1–6): Play with Color → Inspired by Standing Stones
(Sept 7–12): Shape & Line Adventures → Inspired by Trees & Forests
(Sept 13–18): Textures & Layers → Inspired by Birds & Wings
(Sept 19–24): Magickal Thinking → Inspired by Portals & Pathways
(Sept 25–30): Reflection & Celebration → Inspired by Sacred Symbols
This structure means you’ll always have a subject to lean into, while still having the freedom to explore your own vision.
🎨 Why Join?
To reignite your creative spark if it’s been dormant.
To build a gentle, consistent art practice.
To explore new techniques and playful twists without pressure.
To connect with a community of fellow creators who are on the same journey.
You don’t need expensive supplies or hours of free time. Even 10 minutes a day is enough.

🌸 A Note from Me
This challenge isn’t about perfection — it’s about exploration. It’s about showing up with curiosity, letting yourself play, and remembering that your art doesn’t have to be anything other than what it is.
I hope you’ll join me for this 30-day journey. Together, we’ll walk among stones, trees, wings, and portals until we arrive at our own sacred symbols of self-expression.
🌙✨ Are you ready to begin?
👉 Follow along on Instagram and share your first prompt on September 1st with #RMC30Days.
As September unfolds, I hope this challenge becomes a doorway — back into your art, back into yourself, and back into the magick of creating just for the joy of it. May these 30 days remind you that your spark is never gone, only waiting to be tended. I look forward to seeing what you bring to life. Join me, and let’s explore together.
with love and stardust,
Maeve
