Substack & festival
On my Substack, you will find words to help quiet your mind, live creatively and find well-being through my personal stories & thoughts. You can watch visual meditation videos as well as listen to my podcast. It is a lovely community where you can find all my written and visual content in one place!
Creative Light is a three-day festival designed to help you step out of the everyday to relight your creative spark. Sessions include trips to outdoor locations, masterclasses and inspiring talks.
The 2027 festival is currently being planned, so stay tuned and sign up on Substack if you want early details.
I run the popular podcast Creative Soundscapes that covers creativity and wellbeing with guests who are photographers, thought leaders, writers, painters and those in the wellbeing space. You can listen on Apple podcasts or via my Substack.
