Vision Quest
Are You Ready to Journey to the Next Level?
your (he)art is calling...
...but are you listening?
The Vision Quest will lead you on an incredible adventure as you joyfully create the work and life that you en-vision
Do any of these sound familiar?
" I've been making art for years, but... "
...i'm stuck & confused
No matter how much advice I follow or tactics I try, nothing seems to move the needle. I'm not making progress and I feel really frustrated.
...i See Other Artists Achieve Success, Why Not Me?
I'm ashamed to feel jealous of others but I'm not where I should be. I know that I have greater potential than this. Why am I not there? And how much time do I have left?
...i have a big idea, but i need support!
There's a creative project I know I need to bring to life - but I'm struggling to find the confidence, time and discipline to make it happen.
...I am Tired of working in Solitude
I need feedback, other eyes on my work. I want to share my ideas to know whether they're sound or not before I run into another dead-end. It's so hard to walk this path alone.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Watch Helen's testimonial:
Hi, I'm Crista Cloutier and I'll be your Guide.
Over the past three decades, I’ve created a successful multi-faceted international career in the world of contemporary art.
I’ve led groups of artists and other creatives through workshops, courses and powerful retreats internationally, including groups hosted by the American Society of Museum Directors, Dow Jones, and UK’s University of Creative Arts.
Both online and in-person, I’ve mentored thousands of art students, as well as both emerging and established artists.
I’ve collaborated with blue-chip artists in the studio, resulting in work that now lives in nearly every major US public art collection.
My experience has given me unique insights into art and recently led to me being honored as a ‘Key Influencer in the Contemporary Art World‘ by LinkedIn.
Through this Vision Quest, I will offer inspired guidance, motivation and direction as you fully unleash your creative power.
Here's What Other Artists Say...
Watch Michael's testimonial:
A 3 month group adventure, through Zoom, where you’ll be led to clarify a compelling vision for your artistic career, ignite your creative motivation and take massive steps forward with the support of an experienced art expert and like-minded peers.
Each week, you’ll attend the Group Call which usually runs for 90-120 minutes and complete your personal assignment which should take no more than 1-2 hours.
Attendance is mandatory. We will try to accommodate any time conflicts you might have.
Every meaningful goal we set requires personal transformation. In order to achieve your desire, you must become it by doing the work. In this way, our goals are really about the changes and growth you experience as you undergo the challenges.
In a Vision Quest, we ritualize the journey. We focus on the destination. We create flow as opposed to struggle. It’s a guided coaching group for soulful artists who are serous about their path.
Within your Quest Group, there will be 3, 4 or 5 other artists who have been hand-selected by Crista to be a great match for you in terms of personality, goals and career stage. These artists will become your creative tribe.
Most artists who undertake The Vision Quest have some experience under their belt. This is not a program for beginners. However, It doesn’t matter exactly where you are in your journey – you’ll be carefully matched with a small group of peers who will challenge, inspire and support you in the perfect ways.
Each week, you’ll be invited to take part in an intimate and highly interactive viideo Zoom call for the artists in your group.
During these calls, you’ll have the chance to learn and receive personal feedback from Crista, share your work, ask questions and watch your practice evolve as you begin to see things differently..
All artists are expected to attend each of the calls. If you absolutely cannot make it, we will try to re-schedule around you.
It’s completely different. I developed The Vision Quest after receiving many requests for private coaching sessions. My one-on-one sessions are expensive, so I’ve created a more affordable package that provides a guided journey, one-on-one sessions, and a powerfully focused group experience.
