SIT WITH ME
Guided Practices
A weekly guided creative practice.
A space to notice what catches your attention, give it somewhere outside of you to exist,
and spend some time with what you find.
You don't need to be an artist.
You don't need to know what you're looking for.
Bring some paper and something to make a mark with.
FREE PRACTICES
IN YOUR OWN TIME
Join the Sit With Me practice and every Thursday I'll send a new guided practice to your inbox.
You can pause, take a breath or simply wait until the kids have gone to bed
LIVE
PRACTICE
I'll be at my butcher's paper doing the practice alongside you while you do yours.
There is nothing you need to share, explain or show.
Just sit together

A Practice That Stays With You.
The practice of externalising the feelings we carry inside.
To give them a space to reside outside of us
To listen to our magnificent bodies
To sit with them
Witness them
And create the space we need to move forward

A small note before you begin
This is a creative reflection practice, not therapy, counselling or mental health treatment.
I am not a therapist or mental health practitioner, and this practice isn't intended to diagnose, treat or provide advice about your mental health.
Some of the words or questions may bring up unexpected thoughts, feelings or memories.
You are always in control of your participation.
Skip anything that doesn't feel right for you, pause or stop at any time, and only explore what you want to explore.
There is no right response and nothing you need to uncover.
This is simply an invitation to notice what catches your attention and give it somewhere outside of you to exist.
If something significant comes up for you or you feel you need support, consider speaking with an appropriately qualified mental health professional
