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.

Curious about joining The Writer’s Flow Circle but want to experience the atmosphere and approach first?

This free 60-minute taster session offers a relaxed introduction to the structure, philosophy, and experience of the full 12-week programme. It’s designed to give you a sense of how the programme works, while also giving you a productive, energising hour of writing in its own right!

During the session, you’ll experience a shortened version of the Writer’s Flow format, including a brief teaching segment, guided exercises, and space to reflect on your own writing practice.

You’ll leave with practical ideas you can immediately apply to your work, whether you’re writing fiction, non-fiction, academic work, poetry, essays, or something that doesn’t fit into neat categories.

In this taster session you will:

• Experience the structure of a typical Writer’s Flow session
• Try a few short exercises designed to unlock ideas and generate momentum
• Reflect on your current writing practice and what might support it
• Learn how the 12-week programme is organised and what each phase focuses on
• Hear about the different payment plan options available for those who wish to join

There will also be time at the end for questions about the programme.
This session is completely free and there is no obligation to sign up for the full course. Think of it as a way to explore the space and see whether the approach resonates with you.

No preparation is required—just bring something to write with and a willingness to explore. Whether you are actively working on a project or simply want to reconnect with writing as a regular practice, this session offers a welcoming and low-pressure place to begin.

What to Expect
Each 90-minute session of Writer’s Flow combines teaching, group coaching, and practical exercises to help you build a sustainable writing practice. We start with a short teaching segment introducing the week’s topic and concrete strategies you can apply immediately. The group coaching portion gives you space to reflect, ask questions, and get laser-focused support on your specific challenges. Guided exercises and short homework assignments help you experience the week’s principles in action, build momentum, and ensure your practice continues between sessions.

***

Phase 1: Finding Your Entry (Weeks 1-4)
We begin by restoring the idea that writing is a space you can enter without fear or resistance. You’ll learn how to gather scattered ideas, build a dependable framework for your work, and nurture a protected environment where trust and creative curiosity can flourish.

***

Phase 2: Shaping Your Practice (Weeks 5-8)
Next, we personalise the system around your life, energy, and temperament. You’ll learn to turn ideas into form, work with resistance rather than against it, and produce work in ways that feel sustainable, authentic, and energising.

***

Phase 3: Maintaining Momentum (Weeks 9-12)
Finally, we focus on keeping the flywheel turning. You’ll develop strategies for following through on long-form work, sharing without overexposing yourself, navigating life’s interruptions, and leaving the programme with a repeatable, reliable system you can carry forward indefinitely.

Writer’s Flow is not:

• A critique group
• A creative writing seminar
• A workshop focused on line edits
• A productivity bootcamp

Writer’s Flow is:

• A community of support with fellow writers
• A way to turn thinking into output
• A support structure for getting work out
• A system you can reuse for the rest of your writing life
