Welcome!

I’m Sara Saltee, creativity coach, consultant, and teacher - and I believe in the radical potential of human creativity.

My work is to help leaders, storytellers, healers, guides, artists, and other complex creators leave behind self-concepts that are too small and fragmented and step into recognition and expression of their full creative power.

We begin by broadening our definition of creativity far beyond “art making” or “self-care.” Around here, we define creativity as a way of being and doing that involves deep, authentic, reciprocal engagements with ourselves and the world.

 
 

 I'm forever grateful for your workshop and for getting to know you. Your workshop was probably The Biggest Turning Point in how I view myself and the unusual (creative) way that I have conducted my life.

Listen to Sara “Reimagining Creativity for a Partnership World”

From the podcast introduction:
“Imagine a world where creativity thrives, unhampered by domination systems or cultural constraints. Where our perception of time is fluid and our ability to create is nurtured. This is the reality Sara Saltee is passionately advocating for. Exploring the nuanced layers of creativity, Sara guides us through the labyrinth of gender influences, the impact of play deprivation, and the necessity of a caring economy to fully unlock our creative potential.”

 I continually use the tools I learned with Sara as I decide which projects to pursue or not, and how to see my life as a whole as the biggest creative project.

 Services for Leaders and Teams

As the leader of a business or non-profit, you are a creator of culture and a re-weaver of our social fabric. Yet, so many of the leadership tools and models you’ve been offered were designed to spur industrial productivity, not potent generativity.

In dynamic, customized workshops and retreats, I help leaders and teams break out of the linear, narrowly goal-driven thinking of industrial productivity and shift into the creator consciousness that leads to deep engagement and beautiful outcomes.

As you learn how you and your team relate to the cycle of creating, you become a more powerfully generative team, able to honor the unique creative patterns of your team and think, be, and do more effectively together.

 Thank you so much for the incredible half-day workshop you created for our Family Medicine residents. Your work has had a lasting impact and we have already begun to integrate the workshop concepts into our required curriculum for future classes.

 Services for Writers, Artists, and Complex Creators

I trained to be a Creativity Coach with Eric Maisel in 2002, about 15 minutes after he invented “creativity coach” as a profession/vocation. Since then I’ve been helping artists, writers, and complex creators navigate the often-intertwined challenges of creating a work (or a body of work) and cultivating a life that supports your creative thriving.

Much has changed in the last 20 years in the social context within which we create. Social media, “platform-building,” and other expectations of marketing and monetizing our work have fragmented our consciousness and reshaped the creating process itself in powerful and often challenging ways.

I offer tested tools and practices that can help you tune out the noise and find your way back to the space of connection, freedom, and play from which your truest work emerges.

“I can't say enough about Sara Saltee's approach to understanding one's creativity. Sara has developed a way to describe how many of us are multimodal creatives in our lives and work. Her model has helped me to think about which of my creative modes I draw upon; which sometimes get in my way, and which I've not nourished and want to focus on again”
