Values Workshop

This is a three-part workshop that helps you learn how to identify and define your personal values, and use them to make daily choices that add up to an aligned life.

Each lesson includes a video, worksheets and a personal practice for the week ahead that will help you dive a little deeper into the question of what’s important to you:

  • Part One: We explore the big picture of values — what they are, why they matter and, most importantly, how to identify and define yours

  • Part Two: Make your values real — learn how to put them into practical terms and use them as the foundation on which to build a values-aligned life

  • Part Three: A 60-minute Q&A which covers many of the most common obstacles faced throughout the workshop. Think: how to tell the difference between a tool and a value, what I mean when I say I'm anti-balance, how many values we should have, how to know when our values change, and a whole lot more.

Writing as Self-Care Retreat

Writing has formed the backbone of my own self-care practise for the past three decades and in this retreat we explore not only what writing is, but also what it can be.

Across three parts, we unpack the major practicalities of self-care writing, and each week includes a video, a daily writing practise and a series of prompts for you to reflect on.

  • Part One focuses on why we write — the benefits, the reasons, the stories we tell ourselves about putting words to pages — and how to reframe them through the lens of self-care

  • Part Two explores how we write — looking at the many different modes of writing that we can add to our self-care strategies, and why you might want to play around with some new writing practises

  • Part Three is all about when to write — where we explore different ways to find time for self-care writing, how to write in the cracks of life, and how to show up even when the blank page is scary.

If you’re looking for a new approach to self-care or a fresh perspective on how to develop your own writing practise, this retreat might be just what you’re looking for.


Rhythms Retreat

This two-part retreat is designed to reframe our ideas of time and how we spend it, instead of clinging to rigid routines that me march to, it offers an alternative: rhythms that can move with you.

Each lesson includes a video, worksheets and a personal practise for the week ahead, and over the course of the retreat will dig into:

  • identifying all the inputs into our days

  • how we can recalibrate our relationship with technology to free up more space

  • morning and evening rhythms — how to create one and how to experiment with it

  • the role of longer cycles in life and how we can adopt the idea of rhythms to our weeks, months and years

If you’d like to learn how to find pockets of slow-ness in amidst the busy, check out the rhythms retreat here.


I love this little corner of the internet so much — it’s full of warm, kind people. I’d be delighted if you decide to join us and dig into our retreats.

However, if you know you would gain a lot from taking part in them but don’t have the cash to spare at the moment, just drop me an email and I’ll pop you on the list — no charge, no questions asked.

If you are able to pay, thank you! Your generosity means I can continue to offer these kinds of workshops, publish twice a week, share slow living with as many people as possible and try to make some gentle ripples in the world.
