CREATIVE WORKSHOPS, GATHERINGS & RETREATS
Creative experiences for busy minds
Step away from the usual demands of work and business and make space to create, connect and think differently.
I host welcoming workshops and gatherings you can join, and design creative experiences for founders, teams, organisations and communities.
And no, you don’t need to be artistic to take part!
Two ways to experience the power of creativity
Join an experience
Come along to a workshop, creative social or gathering.
Make something, enjoy good company and give yourself time away from the demands of work and everyday life, all in a welcoming, low-pressure space to make, explore and connect.
Bring creativity to your people
I design and facilitate creative experiences for teams, organisations, memberships, conferences, retreats and private groups.
Your experience could be a hands-on away day, a creative Christmas social, an online art or craft session, a conference activity or a session combining creativity with a wider business theme
CREATIVITY IN OUR WORKING LIVES
Your mind needs somewhere else to go.
Founders, freelancers, business owners and people in demanding roles spend much of their time thinking, deciding, organising, solving problems and looking at screens.
Creative experiences can look like...

You don't need to be "arty"
As children, we draw, paint, build, cut, stick and experiment without worrying whether we are particularly good at it. Yet somewhere along the way, many people decide they are not creative.
Others still value creativity, but work, businesses, families, screens and responsibilities gradually push it to the edges of life.
My experiences are designed to take any pressure, fear or worry away.
I’ll guide the activity and create a welcoming space to have a go. The point is to enjoy making, exploring and connecting. not to produce something perfect or prove you have artistic talent.
I pay attention to the materials, atmosphere and way people come together, so the experience feels enjoyable from the moment you arrive.
Where the power of creativity has already been enjoyed
Partner Workshop for Not On the High Street
I was invited to give staff of NOTHS a creative experience as part of their work to connect with the partners selling within their site.
I wanted to extend a huge thank you for making yesterday such a brilliant success!
The energy throughout the day was fantastic, and the feedback we've received so far has been wonderful. The team at NOTHS has expressed their gratitude and were truly inspired by you sharing your story and giving us a glimpse into the skill and dedication involved in creating your products and running your business.

Village Luxury Retreat in the New Forest
As a member of Village Coworking in Farnham, Surrey, I was delighted to offer a creative activity for the group of female founders, business owners & freelancers who came together for a wonderful retreat.
Let's make something happen
Planning a team day, community gathering, event or retreat?
Tell me a little about your group and what you have in mind. You don’t need to have the activity worked out, I can help shape an experience that suits the people, setting and time available.
It helps to know your approximate group size, location, preferred date and whether you’re looking for a relaxed social, a creative pause or an experience linked to a wider theme
