This very ordinary photo of my feet and bike helmet signifies a slow and cautious return to my life. After five years of physical and mental health challenges I’m back lecturing, writing, learning flamenco and even cycling to the station! I know I’m always going to have to be mindful of these bloody autoimmune diseases and rest days are vital; BUT I recognise myself again.
As ever grateful for my husband and family x colleagues and friends xx

Flamenco class! I have always loved dancing, and wanted to learn flamenco since I was little and my ma bought me a Spanish dancers dress back from her hols. Dance class has always been my happy place but this class is a dream. Flamenco doesn’t want you be small and pretty and light, it demands strength and presence and fire! #danceclass #flamenco #nevertoolate by @heidipearljames

When was the last time you felt truly creative? Not just following instructions or checking things off a to-do list, but really letting your mind wander, imagine, and build something new?

Do you feel stuck? Blocked? Lacking in confidence?

If you’d like to nourish and enhance your creativity and can’t make it to one of our retreats in person, this online course is for you!

All content for this self-directed course will be available once you sign up.

Making a Mess
£35.00

Without pressure, or deadlines, we unblock your creativity, make a joyful mess and support you in giving yourself permission to write your story and make your art!

We live in a world that increasingly wants to do our thinking and creating for us, after driving us to exhaustion and extracting all that we are, before selling us snake oil to cure what supposedly ails us.

To create, to be bold, to be imperfectly brilliant just as you are is radical as F***.

It’s resistance. Make a mess. Find your voice.

Love lies bleeding

Like an idiot I didn’t back up the story I was working on, we had a power cut… and I’ve lost 7,000 words that were ready for the edit.
Idiot.
