This course is for you.
You’ve already taken the first step.
Now let’s take the next one.
You’ll receive front-row access to Steven Pressfield’s profound course on overcoming resistance and mastering the art of long-form projects.
This course captures the powerful, in-person teachings from the exclusive Silent Writing Retreat held in September 2024.
“Resistance is a force of nature? You mean I’m not to blame? I can’t tell you how much better that makes me feel!”
—Oprah on Super Soul Sunday
What You’ll Learn...
You already know the feeling. The blank page that stares back, the inner critic that whispers “Who are you to do this?” and the endless distractions that pull you away from your best work.
This course is about breaking through the invisible forces that hold you back and finally becoming the creator you were meant to be.
Part 1: Understanding Resistance
- Discover why resistance isn’t just a personal flaw, but a universal force that every creator must face.
- Learn how to recognize its disguises—fear, procrastination, perfectionism, self-doubt—and fight back with discipline and courage.
- Find out why mastering your mindset is just as important as mastering your craft.
Part 2: The Blank Page is Not Neutral
- Understand why the blank page actively pushes back against your creative intentions.
- Learn how to overcome the most common creative blocks, from self-doubt and fear to distraction and self-sabotage.
- Discover why the biggest resistance often comes just before your biggest breakthroughs.
Part 3: Higher Dimensions of Creativity
- Explore the deeper spiritual nature of creativity and why it’s about more than just making art.
- Learn how to shift from ego-driven striving to soul-driven expression.
- Discover why treating your work as a sacred practice transforms both the artist and the art.

Hi, I'm Roda Ahmed
Founder of The Silent Writing Retreat
Last September, Steven Pressfield and I hosted a powerful, one-day journey nestled in the serene landscapes of Malibu, California. It was a day unlike any other—a chance to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with the inner voice that drives true creative work.
We took away the distractions, the excuses, and the resistance, creating a space for real breakthroughs and creative transformation. It was a sacred space for those who felt called to do the hard, meaningful work of writing.
Now, we’re thrilled to offer you the chance to experience that same journey, wherever you are.
Whether you’re starting a novel, screenplay, or any long-term creative project, Steven’s insights will equip you with the tools to see it through the hurdles of doubt and procrastination to successful completion.
This course is an invitation to reignite your creative fire and overcome the resistance that’s been holding you back.
Join us, and take the next step.
A Personal Note from Steven Pressfield
“Resistance is stronger today than it’s ever been and producing more casualties than ever before. Why? Because all of us have more FREEDOM today than ever before. Technology and culture have blown away all BARRIER TO ENTRY. We have NO EXCUSES any more.
This freedom puts a tremendous burden on each of us. We feel our dream inside us, a living thing begging to be born. If we don’t do it, there is no one to blame but ourselves … and we know it.
What’s the answer? The answer is this IS A WAR. A war inside our heads. A war against our own selves.
That’s the war you and I are in. The “war of art.” Between the goddess, the unknowable, unstoppable force of creativity that has been around since the Big Bang, bringing into being that which had never existed before. And Resistance, the negative, equally unyielding force trying to stop that NEW THING from being born.
That’s our battle. It’s yours and it’s mine. Good luck and Godspeed.”
