Reflective Co-Writing

Time to pause, write, and reflect – so you can regain calm, clarity, and focus

This free, weekly, co-writing hour is for creatives, leaders, and practitioners across arts, culture, health, and education who want to carve out dedicated space to write and reflect.

It offers a regular pocket of calm space in which you can step back from the busyness, gain clarity and perspective, returning to your day and week feeling more grounded and focused.

Why this matters

Do you often feel swamped or pulled in a hundred different directions?

Are you craving time to pause and take stock – or simply want an hour without interruptions to get your thoughts on paper?

In our busy lives, it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most. Making time for reflective writing helps you regain perspective, tune in to your own needs, and find the clarity and ease you need to move forward.

Many people are surprised by how much they get done, or how much perspective they gain, in the gentle structure of an hour collectively held with care.

"The idea of care and creativity, and the invitation to make a calm, safe space for yourself, your *writing, and reflection was a radical offer. I learned so much from this process."***

Arrive with others for a brief welcome and grounding exercise.

Spend most of the hour writing quietly alongside others on whatever matters to you.

Optionally respond to a simple reflective writing prompt provided by me if you prefer.

Close with a short transition activity to help you carry the calm and clarity into the rest of your day
There’s no pressure to share what you write – this is your time.
