A Busy Season of Creating

It feels as though a lot has been happening behind the scenes lately.

Over the past few weeks, I have been working hard to get several new projects finished and ready for print, and I am very happy to say that the next stage is now underway.

The My Heart Matters card deck is now with the printers. This deck has been created to sit alongside my book Experience Authenticity, offering another way to explore emotions, self-awareness and the relationship we have with ourselves.

The Experience Animal Wisdom companion book and card deck are also now with the printers. This project has been such a lovely one to create, bringing together the animals, their symbolism and the quieter messages we can begin to notice when we pay attention to the natural world around us.

The Rise & Shine cards are also at the printers. These are designed as little invitations to step away from routine, try something different, reconnect with yourself and bring more simple, meaningful experiences into everyday life.

So, after a very busy period of writing, designing, resizing, checking, changing and checking everything again, all three decks are finally at the printing stage.

The Year-Long Course

The course has been growing alongside me through the seasons.

I began working on it through spring, continued filming and creating through the summer, and now, as autumn arrives, I can begin recording the final seasonal videos and bringing all of the pieces together.

It is designed as a year-long journey of experience, rather than simply a course to sit and watch.

Throughout the year there will be videos to guide you, along with challenges, activities, things to notice, things to try and opportunities to step outside familiar routines and experience life a little differently.

It will draw together many of the themes that run through my books, including nature, creativity, emotions, self-awareness, food, movement, plants, relationships and the way we live our everyday lives.

The idea has always been to move beyond simply reading about something.

To experience it.

To try it.

To notice what happens.

To discover what feels right for you.

There has been a huge amount of creating going on here lately, and I am looking forward to sharing these new decks, books and the completed course with you as they all begin to come together.
