Welcome to The Creative Women’s Club!

Creative Women’s Circles in Amsterdam — a warm, sacred space to explore and
embody your unique creative expression alongside like-minded women.

“Creativity is a sacred expression of the feminine.”

The Creative Women’s Club is a monthly circle founded by Ella Giljam, where we gather to create, connect, and come home to ourselves.

Creative expression is one of the most natural pathways to self-discovery. When we create — whether through painting, collage, clay, or vision boards — we give form to what lives inside us. The colors, shapes, and movements become a language of the soul, often revealing what words cannot.

In this space, creativity is not about making art. It’s not about being “good” or producing something pretty. It’s about meeting yourself — exploring your emotions, desires, and dreams with curiosity rather than judgment.

We also consciously step offline. Phones are put away, distractions soften, and the nervous system is invited to slow down. By disconnecting from screens, we open ourselves to our creativity, our senses, and the subtle magic of real connection — with ourselves and with one another.

Each month we explore a different medium: aquarelle, clay, vision boards, bullet journaling, and more. What stays the same is the intention: a gentle, playful afternoon to slow down, drop out of your mind, and reconnect with your authentic essence.

All materials are provided. No experience needed. Just an open heart and curious hands.

Creative expression is one of the most natural pathways to self-discovery. When we create, whether through painting, drawing, clay, or collage, we give form to what lives inside us. The colors, shapes, and movements become a language of the soul, often revealing what words cannot.

Through creativity, we meet parts of ourselves that have been hidden, silenced, or forgotten. It invites us to explore our emotions, desires, and dreams with curiosity rather than judgment. In this way, creativity becomes a form of inner work, a mirror that reflects our inner landscape and helps us understand ourselves more deeply.

When we allow our hands to move freely and our hearts to guide the process, something begins to shift. Old stories release, new insights arise, and we reconnect with our authentic essence, the part of us that is naturally whole, expressive, and alive.

In the circle, creative expression is not about making art; it is about coming home to yourself.

What women are saying

“This was truly amazing. It feels so natural to come together like this. No awkward silences, but present silence. No forced conversations, but lovely little chats. No stress to achieve something, but just the joy of creating. Once I got home, I immediately bought paint and went to the ocean to paint.”

— Marije

“I always love Ella's Women's Circles; she is always so kind and calm and holds space for everything to occur that is <3 This circle was lovely and intimate with delicious cacao and painting, I wanted to stay for hours! Will definitely come back again.”

— Isabella

“Ella her creative women’s circle turned out to be such a beautiful surprise. We began by sharing our creative wishes and intentions, and it naturally unfolded into a beautiful aquarelle afternoon. We had laughs and beautiful conversations. Sometimes all you need is time with like minded souls to reconnect and be inspired. This space was perfect for that.”
