~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Making art (of any kind) can often be a vulnerable experience, this monthly walk is a low-pressure opportunity to prioritise your relationship to your creativity.
It's all about being witnessed, connecting, and staying accountable to our creative work.
→ Maybe you’re years into your practice and want to meet up with other creative people.
→ Maybe you’re rekindling a love of a particular art form.
→ Maybe you have a dream to start making things.
It's a space to encourage your artistic spirit and ideas simply by talking about them. Come tell us about the creative projects you’re working on, your idea that’s still a seedling, or the practices you’re deepening into.
This is for you if you want to bring creativity into the foreground of your life, and all stages of the journey are welcome!

Important notes:
→ This space requires compassion, curiosity and kindness!! The only other thing you need to bring with you is a bottle of water or flask of your favourite hot drink :)
→ I do not have the capacity to field questions regarding Holyrood Park/parking/travel logistics and will not tolerate unkind emails. Please consult this website before deciding to attend: https://www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/holyrood-park/getting-here/
→ If you need to walk at a slower pace, please communicate this to the people you’re chatting with so that you’re comfortable
→ There’s every possibility that you might find people you want to chat with in more depth or even collaborate with - feel free to connect outside of the bounds of this container!
What to expect:
→ We’ll set off for a stroll around Holyrood park at 11am
→ We’ll chat in small clusters/pairs while walking, pausing half way around to sip our flasks of tea/coffee and then finish off the route
→ At the end of the walk we’ll come back together as a group and all speak one small creative action into existence at the same time - off into the aether it goes!!
→ Come back the following month and tell us where your action took you
What you might come away with:
→ Inspiration
→ Encouragement
→ More clarity
→ A sense of accountability
→ New connections
