Tea, truth & alchemy✨ — want to try something new with me?
Be my guest and help me to pilot a new 'thing' :)
Hey you!
I want to invite you to join me in an experiment…
If you’ve ever craved a safe space to share ideas, thoughts and feelings about your creative work life… this is for you.
I’m playing with lots of new ideas for my work at the moment, and one of them centres around two things I return to again and again:
The power of being truly listened to with no agenda, questioning or feedback required
The magic that happens when we’re given space to speak honestly without having to filter and without interruption, feedback or fixing.
Because listening is simple and magic.
This idea, Tea & The Tea (you know I love a title, especially with an ampersand), might become part of a group programme, or it might live on its own. Or maybe nothing. But first, I want to try it out. And for that, I need you.
Tea & the Tea will offer you a pausing place to reflect on your business and your creativity in a safe space, one that’s full of curiosity, acceptance and a real spirit of sharing. It’s an invitation to pause, with a cup of tea perhaps, and to ‘spill the tea’ on what’s true for you right now in your work.
How the Tea & the Tea pilot session works
I am inviting women to come along to this sharing space as my guest for the first session, to see how it goes.
The gathering will take place on 10th July (full moon energy 🌕) and I have timed it for 4pm Uk time (tea time!) as that’s also 11am Eastern time (morning snack break?) and 8am Pacific time (breakfast tea!) so hopefully most people can find a tea shaped reason to come.
I will set a question for the gathering, something that relates to our lives as creative types, running businesses and/ or managing freelance careers. Something like ‘where are you feeling stuck in your work right now’ or ‘what’s simmering in the background at the moment’ or simply ‘what’s your latest brilliant creative idea that you’re dying to talk through’?
We’ll each take a turn to respond, uninterrupted. No advice, no follow-ups, no fixing. Just clear, respectful listening and space to think.
At the end, there might be time for a wee group discussion, or we might be out of time. Let’s just go with the flow and trust it will be lovely :)
The beauty of having spaces like this, is so we can all practice being honest and what we might see as messy, (but is really beautiful) in a world where we are often expected to perform or to have all of our shit together.
Is this for you?
If the idea of reflective sharing sounds nourishing (even if slightly nerve-wracking), I think you’re ready. Dare you ;)
If you’ve never done something like this before but you’re curious, come!
And if group sharing isn’t your thing, that’s totally fine, this one might not be for you. But do ask yourself the question: What’s the worst thing that could happen!
This won’t be recorded. It’s just for us. A quiet, private space with good people and real conversation. Once it’s over it’s over and almost like it never happened… except for the warm feeling it will have given us and where our listening and thinking might take us!
Do you want to come? Are you free?
So, reminder: The session is on Thursday 10 July at 4pm UK time.
Five spaces have already gone to my membership so there are now five spaces still open and waiting to be claimed.
In terms of confidentiality and vibe, please know that I only have excellent women in my orb and we will all be committing to creating a safe, non judgemental and private space. It won’t be recorded and nothing will be shared afterwards. It’s just for us.
