2021: A Year in Flow – Your invitation to a year of creativity and journalling

This year is a time of instability, change and unpredictable disruptions. But you can be adaptable, set yourself a firm sense of direction, and focus on what is truly going to help you thrive and prosper. Change brings opportunities but because change is so shocking, we can’t always recognise that these are opportunities!

Your journalling practice will make all the difference to whether you thrive even when those around you are confused and floundering. It will help you be more grounded, stable, resilient and focused.

This year long course offers rich resources and opportunities. This unique approach to journalling changes your life, and brings you excitement and fulfilment.

Creativity and self expression will be more important than ever in 2021, to keep you upbeat, motivated and focused on the excitement of your own creative and inner journey and less focused on the drama and chaos.

What can’t you do when you belong to a community of like-minded people who support and believe in you and want you to succeed – when your success and theirs are interwoven. The group is skilfully held, so there is support and encouragement for everyone to learn and grow at your own pace and in your own way. It is my joy to support, curate, inspire and encourage your free creative self expression, and offer you structures and opportunities you might never find on your own.

Through the year you will enjoy and complete your own creative projects. There is no limitation on what your projects can include – for example, pamphlets and booklets, book, a novel, a website, videos, a blog, an aspect of your business, a memoir or life story, a photo album or life book, a song cycle, a collection of poems, a series of mini or concertina books, an art journal, a series of paintings or collages, or any project, in any medium. Working alongside people who are engaged in different projects is inspiring and motivating.

You can choose your own projects, and also choose from a list of suggestions. The idea is to have a few different projects going throughout the year, so you can move between them. You will receive support to make your projects come to life… and also to finish them, if you are someone who finds it easier to start things than to complete them.

Creating your work alongside us in the group will keep you motivated, and help you move through any blocks or difficulties that arrive at different stages in your process. If you’re someone who finds it easier to start things than to complete them, the group will offer you the accountability and mentoring to finish your work, and publish, share, or show it.

If you feel you lack confidence in any area, this is where you will be able to develop much more confidence and belief in your own creative voice. If you want to try out your work on an audience, we are here for you. If you are scared to share your work, we are here for you! At different times, you may find you take more or less space in the group depending on how you feel, but we will all be connected throughout the year.

Everyone is asked to keep people’s creative work and personal material shared in the group totally confidential.

All the structures, prompts, ideas and support offered are original and unique, and is not derivative of anyone else’s work.

The group is priced to be accessible. You are asked to make a commitment to the year, as this means we have a structure that is robust enough to hold us through the year.  This is exceptionally good value because I want you to participate, to make the difference in your own world and  to the people around you.

The group consists of two live Zoom meetings per month, Wednesdays 7-9.30pm UK time with a private Facebook group for sharing, discussion and information There are 22 sessions, approximately two a month with a break in August, plus occasional additional pop-up sessions, such as journalling in nature, specific teaching sessions, and sessions for special themes and seasonal events.  As far as possible, public and school holidays are avoided.  Individual mentoring sessions to look at your work in greater detail are available at a deep discount. There will be a private Facebook group where you can ask questions, ask for feedback, share or chat.

One session each month is given to journalling, with unique creative prompts, themes and shared projects, journalling for self development, clarity and focus, and journalling to develop your creative muscles, access your imagination, play with serendipity, and trigger and spark flow.

The second session each month is where we focus on our individual and shared creative projects, work alongside each other, give each other feedback and support and receive mentoring and guidance. Working together with others in this shared field is much more powerful than working alone, and the power of our shared energy will help you travel far this year.  This is not the type of class where you listen to or watch an expert and then try to create your own version, but where you are supported and challenged to find your own creative voice, however it wants to reveal itself.

The rhythm of meeting once every two weeks allows you space to work on your own projects, and to come together often enough to enjoy the sense of belonging and continuity.

There will be new themes, prompts, challenges and mini-projects throughout the year which will interact with and complement your own projects.  These are of course optional, but you won’t ever regret doing them!

7-9.30pm Wednesday evenings, UK time; the first two sessions are January 20th and January 27th 2021.

A Zoom link is posted in the private Facebook group, or sent to you by email if you are not on Facebook. There is a mixture of teaching, discussion, journal prompts and journal writing, and working on your current project alongside each other.

If you feel this, there will be some fun suggestions for you!
