What are members saying?
“I’m in constant awe of how you hold your course, ask yourself the right questions, sit with your discomfort, continue to trust humanity, and still be there for others. To be frank, I’ve learned a lot in the group from you on kindness, humor, and listening as well as being truthful and tolerant. I hope everyone sees how much is being shared.” Robyn West, USA,2024 (Creativity Club)

“Felicia’s guidance has been both inspiring and transformative. She leads by example, showing how facing our own truths and challenges can make our creative work stronger. She’s focused, honest, and truly cares about helping me find practices that bring out my most authentic and creative self. Felicia shares her own experiences with vulnerability—the struggles she’s faced and how they’ve helped her grow as an artist—which makes her advice feel real and relatable. She’s also built an amazing community through her Creativity Club. I look forward to our meetups, where I get to connect with other creatives. It’s a safe space where we can openly talk about our challenges, support each other, and celebrate our progress. Working with Felicia has helped me push my creative boundaries and feel more connected to my art. Felicia Forte is truly a force in the art world I am grateful to have worked with her for many years and to have been continuously inspired by her growth and success!” Debra Shapiro, San Francisco, CA 2025 (In Person Mentoring, Creativity Club, Coaching Series, Tarot Reading, Single Session Coaching)
