Hi Reader,

A few weeks ago, we gathered for the second Creative Sanctuary — this time moving from my dining table into a community space at Harmony Hall in Mundaring.

There was knitting, wood burning, painting, collage, conversation, cups of tea, and stretches of quiet creating in the company of others.

One of the things that stayed with me afterwards was how, when 2pm arrived, it felt like we all could have happily stayed for hours longer.

I think there’s something really special about spending unhurried time creating in the company of others — without pressure to perform, produce, or rush onto the next thing.

You can read more here about why I believe spaces like this matter.

I’ve now confirmed dates for Creative Sanctuary for the rest of the year. We’ll gather every two months on the fourth Friday, from 10am–2pm, and I’ve found a venue in Darlington that feels like a lovely fit for the space 🌿

Friday 26 June
Friday 28 August
Friday 23 October

As always, you’re welcome to bring your own project, or simply come with curiosity and use the shared materials provided.

And because I want the space to feel accessible and community-minded, I’ve added a few optional support codes for anyone who might need them:

COMMUNITY10 — $10 off
​COMMUNITY20 — $20 off

No explanation needed 💛

If you’d like to come with a friend, you can also use:

BRINGAFRIEND10 — $10 off when booking 2 or more places together

For more details and to reserve your place for Friday 26 June:

I’d love to create alongside you sometime this year.

Warmly,

P.S. ​
Since that first Creative Sanctuary, I’ve been thinking about how hard it can be to make space for creativity in full and busy lives. I’ve put together a small guide 5 Ways to Make Space for Creativity (Even When Life Is Full).
