9 Days of Wild Creative Connection
Day 1: Wolves
As the world around us speeds into its end-of-year frenzy, I want to create a moment of pause with you. To take a deep breath together. To remember that we can choose a different pace.
You've likely noticed your inbox filling with urgent messages, flash sales, and countless "unmissable" opportunities.
I see you, and I feel it too - that pull to rush, to consume, to keep up. But our wild hearts know a different rhythm, don't they?
Over the next few weeks, I'm choosing to move like the wise beings I study and honour in my art - with intention, presence, and deep connection to what matters most. I invite you to join me.
I wanted to create more-than-a-week of connection to creativity and the wild that we can share together. And so, 9 Days of Wild Creative Connection was born.
Each day I’ll send you an abridged free video (the full narrated real time video is inside Hedgerow, which is open now! Plus, a gorgeous eBook with a whole lot extra) a reflection, and an invitation (the eBook also has journaling prompts and affirmations).
Ready for Day 1?
🌿 Today's Reflection: Think of the wild beings we love to observe and honour through our art. A bird building their nest. A fox creating their den. A bee returning to their hive. Each knows the importance of having a space that holds them, that allows them to simply be. Your creative practice can be this kind of sanctuary - a place where you can unfurl, explore, and connect with your deepest wild wisdom.
This sanctuary isn't about perfection. Remember that we are reaching for connection, not perfection. It doesn't require a dedicated studio or expensive supplies - in fact, I would always argue that the humble sketchbook is ideal. Sanctuary lives in the way you approach your practice, in the reverence you bring to each mark you make, in the permission you give yourself to simply be present with your creativity.
🖋️ Gentle Invitation: Before you begin creating today - whether for five minutes or five hours - take a moment to set your sanctuary. This might look like:
Taking three deep breaths
Placing your hand on your heart
Lighting a candle or brewing a favourite tea
Arranging your tools with intention
Speaking a quiet word of gratitude for this moment
Remember: Your creative sanctuary travels with you. It's in the way you hold your pencil, in the peace you find when observing a wild being, in the quiet joy of making marks on paper.
