So... I've been observing something for a long time...

The lack of accessible therapy for both adults and children across the UK.

Not because there aren't incredible professionals doing their best. There are way too many incredible professionals out there for this to be true.

Not because people don't want support. We see how much it IS needed daily.

But because too many people are caught in the middle... Waiting. Not meeting the threshold. Being told to try again if things get worse. Unable to afford private therapy. Feeling like they have to reach crisis point before anyone can help.

And I keep finding myself asking...

Why should support only become available when someone is already overwhelmed?

What would happen if WE invested in people's wellbeing before they reached breaking point?

What if communities became part of the solution?

What if accessible, creative, therapeutic spaces weren't the exception, but the norm?

I've been sitting with these questions for months.

And they've led me to an idea that I can't seem to let go of:

The 5,000.

A simple belief that if 5,000 people each contributed just £5, together we could begin creating more opportunities for people to access therapeutic and creative wellbeing spaces within their communities.

Not to replace the .

Not to replace existing mental health services.

But to stand alongside them.

Because we all know someone who's been told they'll have to wait.

We all know someone who 'didn't meet the criteria'.

We all know someone who's quietly been carrying more than anyone realises.

Maybe that someone has been you.

So let me ask you...

What kind of community do we want to be?

One that waits until people reach crisis?

Or one that believes everyone deserves somewhere to land before they get there?

If this idea resonates with you, I'd love for you to be part of shaping it.

Comment below with your thoughts.

Share this with someone who believes in the power of community.

And if you're already thinking, "I'd be one of the 5,000," let me know.

Because this isn't just about raising money.

It's about proving what becomes possible when thousands of ordinary people choose to care, together.

Every business owner has seasons.

Building seasons.

Resting seasons.

Learning seasons.

"Well... that didn't go as planned" seasons.

This feels like the beginning of a new one. The Reset Era.

Lessening the pressure of trying to make everything huge.

More focus on creating spaces that feel thoughtful, intentional and genuinely useful.

There are ideas scribbled in notebooks. Workshops waiting to happen. Art materials waiting to be used. Conversations waiting to be had.

So if you've been here for a while, thank you for sticking around. We know it hasn't always been smooth sailing and things haven't always gone to plan... But we move 🙏🏾🙇🏾‍♀️🙌🏾

And if you're new here...

Welcome.

There's a lot to make.

Let's begin.

After a few week's of what has felt like a period of being unusually quiet, it's officially time for a reset....

The past couple of months have contained a little bit of everything:

- big ideas
- unexpected challenges
- difficult conversations
- lessons in sustainability
- reminders that rest is productive too

And somewhere amongst all of that, there has also been a lot of clarity.

One thing remains true: People still need spaces to create, reflect, connect and feel seen.

That hasn't changed.

It feels like a time for simpler ideas. Smaller rooms. Meaningful conversations. Creative experiments.

And giving ourselves permission to begin again as many times as we need to.

Fresh start. New energy.

Same purpose 🙏🏾💜

There has been a lot of quiet over here recently. Not because the passion disappeared. Not because there wasn't anything to say.

But because something I'd poured a lot into didn't unfold in the way I'd hoped.

The Wild At Art Camping Retreat didn't go ahead. Saying that still feels disappointing.... And its taken this long for me to find myself in a space that I could truly acknowledge this.

It wasn't just a weekend away... It represented months of planning, conversations, creativity, problem-solving, promotion, financial investment and belief that it would become something really special.

For a little while, I wasn't sure how to return here. Part of me wanted to skip straight to the next thing.

But that didn't feel honest.

As an Art Therapist, I spend so much time encouraging other people to make space for disappointment, grief and uncertainty rather than rushing past them.

It felt important to offer myself the same compassion.

This experience hasn't changed why I do this work. If anything, it's reminded me how much I care about creating spaces where people can slow down, connect and be themselves.

So this isn't really a goodbye to the retreat...

It's simply an acknowledgement that this version wasn't meant to happen.

And that's okay.

Sometimes the ending of one idea quietly makes room for another.

Thank you for staying here while I found my way back 💜
