The power of The Artist's Way Women's Circles

The Artist's Way is one of those encounters that can circle your life a while before you are even aware, or perhaps ready, to commit to the process.  Women come to my Circles with stories of having started the book, only to abandon it in the third chapter. Some were lead by a friend, or it popping up on their radar by way of an acquaintance. Others come, having never heard of the book, hardly knowing me or my work, but an instinct - or what I would call 'body knowing'- compels them to join…

Connecting to calm in uncertain times

It’s likely that instinct will kick in during crisis, and I know I can often default to ‘fix-it' mode where my body goes into auto-pilot. This is when the idea of 'wellbeing' seems to slip away - nothing more than a distant memory as I work fast to satisfy the demands of my whirring mind. What I now know to be the best, and most sustainable course of 'action' in crisis times, is to get out of my head and resist my ego's (insatiable) hunger for control. 

A no-fuss morning routine to support ease and mindfulness

After all, how are we supposed to find relief and relaxation if it requires hours of preparation, ideal conditions, half a dozen environmental adjustments, including a perfectly tidy bedroom/home and complete privacy for three hours! #nothappening
