The Violet Hour - A Reflective Writing Taster Session

The Violet Hour is a calm, no-pressure evening writing session. A soft threshold at the end of the working day. 🌒

We begin with a short meditation (which I will guide us through - cameras on or off, you decide!), followed by one or two reflective writing prompts. 🕯️

No writing experience is needed, only a willingness to try the prompts we'll share with you on the day. ✍️

And you will never need to share your writing, unless you feel like it! 🤍

These sessions invite you to think more deeply about self, life, family, friends, society, the world, the universe, and your place in it all.

As Søren Kierkegaard reminds us, “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” 🔍

As such, we offer this space to pause, look back on the week just lived, and gently make sense of its trials and tribulations, its ease and its wranglings, and everything that's emerging for you. 🌫️

Drawing on Michel Foucault’s insight that “care of the self is the care of freedom,” The Violet Hour also supports a kind of self-reflection that is not a hurried self-improvement, but a true, gentle, and liberating practice. 🗝️

And (since we love a good quote) as Simone de Beauvoir writes, “One is not born, but rather becomes.” 🌱

This session is about that becoming, slowly, and without pressure. 🌙

*NOTE: This £2.50 sample session also introduces a membership that will begin in February, and is designed to help people quietly undergird their weeks with a steady, nourishing practice of reflection, while staying in touch with their writerly creativity. ✨ Whoever you are - whether you're thinking about joining our membership or not - you are 100% welcome.
