THE TWELVE DAYS OF INSPIRATION
get inspired this december
Every December since 2021, The Twelve Days of Inspiration has shown up like a little bit of magic on Instagram or in your inbox.
This year, it’s happening inside The Studio – and you’re invited to join us, free for the month. Enjoy a steady stream of creative magic: 12 days of thoughtful inspiration, cozy community, and just enough momentum to end the year beautifully.
Twelve Days festivities will kick off December 1!
A PEEK INSIDE THE TWELVE DAYS
creative strategic & seasonal planning
I always give away my strategic planning tool designed for creative entrepreneurs, The Creative's Almanac, right at the beginning so you can think ahead to the new year.
new features for the forge app
Did you know The Inspired Foundry has an app?! Forge is your new idea-mapping companion, and I'll release new features during The Twelve Days this year.
prompts, playlists, & particularly inspiring ideas
Some of the gifts are simple in execution but deep in integration. Expect a variety of formats + platforms to inspire.
giveaways & discounts
I run a business built on generosity. I'll invite you into The Inspired Foundry's offers, including the seasonal artist residency, with discounted rates as a thank you for checking out The Studio.
faq
WHAT IS THE STUDIO?
The Studio at The Inspired Foundry is a virtual membership space designed to help you build your inspired ideas. Inside, you’ll find weekly live events, dripped podcast episodes and essays, and a community of creatives making steady, meaningful progress on their dreams.
WHAT'S INSIDE THE TWELVE DAYS?
A cozy mix of free gifts, creative prompts, and gentle nudges to help you dream, reflect, and make progress. For a taste, scroll up or peek at past years on my Instagram! Festivities will happen on weekdays starting December 1.
WHY DO I NEED TO JOIN THE STUDIO TO GET ACCESS?
In the past, I shared The Twelve Days on Instagram and via email. This year, I’m moving it into The Studio to give more attention and energy to those who want to show up, reflect, and make things happen.
IS IT REALLY FREE?
Yep! Totally free. Just drop your email and you’ll get full access to The Twelve Days and The Studio for the entire month of December.
WHAT'S THE STUDIO LIKE?
It's a quiet online space with resources, events, and inspiration. Our members are chill – there's some conversation happening within our community spaces (lurking is so valid!) but most of the magic happens during the live events.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF THE TWELVE DAYS?
You’re invited to stick around in The Studio for $49/month, join the Winter Artist Residency for more dedicated support, or take what you’ve received into the new year and quietly exit out the back door. Whatever path you choose is perfect.
YOUR HOST
karla peters
I'm Karla, violinist, creative director, amateur illustrator (peep those presents at the top of this page!), mostly decent writer – and an idea-mapping-obsessed wannabe cheesemonger. I've spent the last five years building The Inspired Foundry into a trusted space and creative haven where artists & entrepreneurs find support for the often overlooked messy middle and inspiration to keep doing their best work.
The Twelve Days is my love letter to you at the end of the year. A chance to give you not one, but twelve tiny gifts of inspiration for your good and beautiful work. I hope you'll join us for this most festive occasion!
Your ideas are not a luxury.
Your creativity is not a hobby.
Your dreams are not frivolous.
Let me love on you a little at the end of another year, k?
