The Art of Creative Practice

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.

(Please note that because of the focused nature of this group and to avoid creating any unnecessary distractions for those working, no one will be admitted after the first 15 minutes of the session.)

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.

Finally, a project management method that honours creativity rather than stifles it. For creatives, writers, thinkers, and makers.

Most productivity systems assume that creativity works like a factory line: consistent output, linear progress, and endless motivation. And if you’ve ever felt subtly misaligned with those systems, this workshop is for you.

In this 90-minute workshop, we’ll explore a more natural approach to time and energy management that works with your natural rhythms rather than against them.

What We’ll Explore
This workshop introduces the Flow Cycles System: a gentle, intuitive framework for organising creative work according to energy, attention, and creative stages.

Together, we’ll look at:

• Why time management often fails creatives
• How energy moves in cycles rather than straight lines
• How projects naturally unfold through distinct creative phases
• How to manage multiple projects without fragmentation or burnout

This is not about doing more but about moving ideas from inspiration to completion with less resistance. You’ll also gain language for understanding why certain phases of creative work feel easy, difficult, or mysteriously blocked without turning that insight into self-criticism.

This workshop is for creative thinkers of all sorts, and particularly:

• People juggling multiple creative or personal projects
• Those returning to creative work after burnout or over-structuring
• Anyone who wants structure without losing creative spaciousness

What to bring:

• Notebook & pen/pencil
