The Bipolar Creatives

The Bipolar Creatives is a creative community within the Bipolar Social Club. 

Once a month, we gather on Zoom to share what we're working on, talk through creative roadblocks, exchange inspiring ideas, and cheerlead each other on. There's no pressure to perform or present—you're welcome to participate in whatever way feels comfortable. 

From writing a novel to making films or quietly nurturing an idea that hasn't yet found its way into the world, creating—and releasing—your work can be both joyful and challenging. 

This space is for:

• Writers and poets

• Visual artists

• Filmmakers

• Musicians

• Creative professionals

• Students

• Artists lurking in boring jobs (or fascinating jobs!)

• Anyone living with bipolar disorder who feels called to create

Whether you're finishing your fifth book or wondering if it's time to publish your first, you'll find people who understand both the creative process and the unique experiences of living with bipolar disorder.

Discover stars, and sail in the wind’s eye—”
