A Journey Within

Oct 12
2 min read

Last week, I had the pleasure of leading a 90-minute experiential workshop for Claire Boardman's lovely community, which I have been part of for the past few years. I felt guided to talk about my love of colour, crystals and creativity, exploring the many ways we can connect with our inner world.


You can find out more about Claire and her work through her website, Illumin8you.


During our time together, I shared a little about my own background, my lifelong love of colour and creativity, and how these have become increasingly woven into my work as a healer, teacher and mentor, supporting personal and spiritual growth.


We explored how creative practices, particularly collage, can offer a wonderful way of journeying within, accessing our intuition and receiving guidance that might not always be available to us through our thinking minds.


The session also included a guided meditation, working with colour and Energy Alchemy to encourage a deeper sense of connection, calm and healing.


I'm delighted to be able to share the recording here, should you feel drawn to explore some of these practices for yourself. You can enjoy the session in your own time, perhaps returning to the meditation whenever you feel the need.

A Little Creative Discovery

I thought I would share one of my own recent collages, which brought a rather unexpected message. As I explored the images and words I had intuitively chosen, I began to recognise a growing desire to return to working with cloth, textiles and colourful swatches — something I hadn't consciously been considering.

It was a lovely surprise, and a reminder of how creativity can reveal what is quietly emerging within us, sometimes before we have even found the words to express it.


During the session, I also introduced the practice of SoulCollage®, which has become a particularly meaningful part of my own creative journey.


If you feel inspired to create a collage of your own, I would be very happy to offer a short, complimentary reading to help you explore the guidance and meaning within your image. Simply get in touch if you would like to have a go. Perhaps you'll discover something unexpected along the way!


Coming Together in Sussex

As I mentioned previously, I'm also aiming to put together an in-person experience here in Sussex, bringing together colour, creativity, meditation and healing in a practical and enjoyable way.

I'm looking forward to sharing more about this with you, including dates, over the coming weeks.

Until next time, keep growing ...


Gabrielle
