The Art of Creative Practice

Start 2026 with focus, calm, and inspired direction.

Reflect & Reset Quarter 1 (R&R Q1) is the first of a quarterly 90-minute workshop series designed to help you align your goals with your deeper values and create a grounded, high-clarity plan for January, February, and March.

This session is designed for creatives, makers, thinkers, and doers, people who thrive on ideas but sometimes struggle to carve out the time, structure, or focus to bring them fully to life. Whether your creative work lives outside your 9–5 and you’re craving rhythm and accountability, or your day-to-day role is already creative but needs clearer direction and renewal, R&R Q1 provides the perfect space to realign.

In R&R Q1, you’ll be guided through a unique Reflect & Reset Map, an evidence-based framework that blends reflection, mindful goal-setting, and creative structure. You’ll clarify what truly matters, define your key priorities, and leave with a clear roadmap for January, February, and March.

Together, we’ll:

• Revisit your larger vision and refine what matters most for January, February, and March
• Translate your insights into clear, energised action steps
• Balance personal and professional aims through a single, coherent plan

By the end of R&R Q1, you’ll have:

• A complete 3-month action map based on your authentic priorities
• Renewed energy and creative focus
• A deeper sense of alignment between your inner life and outer goals

This is the first Reflect & Reset session (R&R Q1). Each workshop is a stand-alone experience, designed to help you clarify your direction, set meaningful goals, and stay aligned over the next three months. But together, these sessions build and evolve, quarter by quarter, helping you shape your ultimate year. Whether you join us for one or for all four, you’ll be part of a growing cycle of renewal and momentum that keeps you connected to what matters most.

Bring your journal and your favourite hot drink. You’ll leave with more than a plan; you’ll leave with a rhythm for your year!

This two-hour coworking session is designed to help you show up for your practice, make progress, and connect with a community of fellow creatives. These sessions are for writers, artists, academics, thinkers, and anyone who wants to nurture a sustainable creative routine.

What to expect:

• 15-minute check-in & input/exercise: We start with a brief grounding exercise, prompt, or discussion to set intentions and focus your energy.
• 90 minutes of focused co-working: Work on any project you choose: writing, painting, research, or something else entirely! We use the Pomodoro technique with short breaks to stay refreshed and motivated. (You can keep your camera on or off—whatever helps you maintain focus.)
• 15-minute sharing & reflection: We finish by coming together to share progress, insights, or challenges. This builds accountability and a sense of community over time.

These sessions are more than just co-working: they're a key part of our vibrant creative community where learning, making, and reflection happen together. This shared commitment helps strengthen creative habits, provides inspiration, and connects you with like-minded practitioners who understand the challenges and joys of sustained creative work.

These sessions are completely free to join, because the goal is to create a welcoming, accessible space for anyone who wants to show up for their creative practice.

Come as you are, bring your current project, and leave feeling supported, motivated, and creatively energised.

### About Your Facilitator

I am an academic and writer with extensive experience teaching, researching, and publishing on literature, creativity, and contemplative practices. Over the course of my career, I have worked with thousands of students, artists, thinkers, and practitioners at all levels, helping them to develop clarity, confidence, and depth in their own work. Alongside my academic work, I am a qualified Psychosynthesis Coach and Clinical Hypnotherapist, trained to support personal growth, transformation, and wellbeing. I am also a certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher(MBSR/MBCT) and a registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200), which allows me to bring together contemplative, embodied, and psychological approaches in an integrated way. This combination of scholarship, coaching, therapeutic training, and meditative practice gives me a unique perspective on creativity as both discipline and discovery.

Join us for a unique weekly meditation class that blends traditional contemplative practice with modern psychotherapeutic tools for transformation. Integrative Meditation isn’t just about relaxing the mind; it’s about rewiring patterns, deepening awareness, and cultivating emotional resilience in real, lasting ways.

Every week we work with a different theme—such as focus, empaths, self-trust, or creative flow—through guided meditation, reflective exercises, and open conversation.

Each session combines guided meditation, gentle self-inquiry, and reflective discussion to help you:

• Develop emotional clarity and inner steadiness
• Strengthen self-compassion and presence
• Uncover and release limiting patterns
• Enhance and support creative thinking and innovation

This is a space for growth and genuine connection, a supportive community of like-minded people who are curious about how meditation can not only calm the mind, but also open the heart and transform the self. Whether you’re new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, you’ll find an environment that is both structured and spacious, grounded and uplifting.

You’re welcome to drop in for a single session, but the real magic happens when you come regularly. Over time, a sense of rhythm and belonging grows, with each week building on the last, deepening your awareness, and strengthening the circle of support around you.

WHAT TO BRING: A notebook or journal, something to write with, and a comfortable seat or cushion.
