Because your creative business should be rooted in awe

WONDER MASTERMIND

When our art practice, business and everything we do for them come from a place of Wonder, we inspire others and are inspired ourselves, in a way that keeps us accountable to the dreams and goals we have set.

Through the Wonder Mastermind, you will spend one full calendar year with other artists + creatives in growth, accountability, and inspiration.

The Wonder Mastermind is designed for the already-established artist/business owner committed to growing their art business and making consistent steps towards improving themselves and their offerings. If you are doing this, you can offer excellent feedback to the group and the group can offer excellent feedback to you. The real gift that those in Wonder bring to one another lies in the brainstorming, accountability, and feedback shared about how we, as artists, can run profitable creative businesses. A lovely byproduct of being in the Wonder-world is friendship and a space you feel safe to talk through the ups and downs of running a small business.

Like many things, the time we put in directly reflects the amount we get out. Although these are the touch points with the group, i ask that you think about both how this group can benefit you and how you can benefit the group. a mastermind is about the exciting exchange of ideas within the group!

During our year together, you will benefit from:

"Working as a professional artist can oftentimes feel isolating and overwhelming. For years I’ve been looking for community that I could rely on, give back to you and grow with. The Wonder Mastermind has been exactly what I’ve been needing as a solo creative entrepreneur. The ideas generated, the problems solved and the community gained has been 100% worth the investment of my time and resources. 10 out of 10 recommend. I’m excited to continue this journey with Sarah and the other Wonder Women!"

"The shared community of female creative business owners is something I could not get on my own and is so important. It makes me feel more accountable. Doing this on my own I feel like my progress was too slow and not focused enough. I need that. I have loved that part of the group. Also, having a place to go to ask for advice and feedback in the group is fantastic."

I am so honored to have walked the creative journey alongside these fabulous women

"One of the best things I have learned in Wonder is the difference between the work you do all the time and the work that is necessary to move the needle on your business. I realized I was spending hours working with no particular mindset or strategy about how to move the business forward: how to be exposed to to new market, or new business collaborations."

wonder member 2021 - 2024

"I've never been a part of a group like Wonder where I felt so seen and understood not just as a businesswoman, but as an artist. The "Wonder Woman" values not just profit but creating work with soul on her own terms. She understands that the magic is in the hard work, showing up for yourself and your fellow members consistently to move the needle. The collected wisdom of the group has the power to propel you forward while also reminding you to savor the journey."

kris hackl | @kris_hackl

I am in real relationships with other artists, and to be mentored by an incredible artist, business woman and community builder has been invaluable.

SARAH TUDOR | @SARAHTUDORART

Everything has been elevated. From my artist statement to my website, each piece is still a work in progress, but each piece has been touched and improved upon.

Jackie henisee | @heniseepottery

I love having my group of people who know me and my business well. When I ask for feedback or am having a problem, they know how to give me relevant answers.

Anna patterson | @apattersondesign

I feel like the I've really grown with this group of women and enjoy the accountability of meeting monthly.

kara valentino ffield | @karavalentinoffield

There are a lot of masterminds charging high prices and I feel like members don't get this kind of access to the facilitator. To have so much access to Sarah is incredible.

I started Wonder with a 2-3 year old business that needed some refinement. Less than a year later I feel so much more centered and focused on what I want my business to grow into. I can’t wait to see what that confidence brings in the coming year!

HI, i'M SARAH

I’m so excited to learn more about the journey you are on.

Having led masterminds for the past 4 years, I love working with creative entrepreneurs to help their dreams become reality. I have a heart for others exploring the creative process and making a living from the fruits of their work.

As an educator of now 18 years, I find value in the collective brain, the beauty of relationship, and the way a group has the ability to support and inspire. I have found that having people in my corner that truly know my business has been life-changing.

I have a passion for walking through the uncertainty of running a creative business with you, to help mentor and guide, to provide feedback and direction. Sometimes all we need is to get out of our own head!

I hope the Wonder Mastermind provides you the space to ask the big questions and sit with the answers so that you feel more confident on your creative journey.

I can’t wait to hear from you! Reach out if you have any questions.

xoxo, Sarah

I'm not an artist. Can I still apply?

Because this group is about moving your business forward in a thoughtful, intentional way, in community with other creatives, it very well may be. If you are an artist, a maker, or entrepreneur who is building a career from your creativity, whether that creativity is movement, food, photography or paintings, etc., you'll find support and encouragement in the Wonder Mastermind. As we journey across 12 months, this intentional group of creatives motivate, inspire, and strengthen one another as we propel our businesses forward. If you are still not certain, feel free to email me at: sarah@atwaterdesigns.com.
