Description
The Art of Slowing Down is an immersive reflection workshop that helps participants rediscover presence, creativity, and emotional clarity by pausing the constant momentum of daily life.
In this 90‑minute experience, participants are guided through a flow of questions, creative writing prompts, and sensory awareness exercises. Through storytelling, gentle humour, and real‑time reflection, we explore what becomes available when we slow down - space, freedom, and the joy of simply noticing.
The session includes:
– Guided inquiry using reflective questions (“What do I see when I slow down?”, “What becomes available?”)
– Creative journaling and descriptive writing practices
– Playful awareness and sensory perception exercises
– Group sharing and gentle discussion about integrating these practices into daily life and work
The atmosphere invites lightness, curiosity, and gentle humour. You’ll leave feeling centred, refreshed, and more attuned to your unique rhythm; both as an individual and as part of a group or team.
Led by Bloom de Wilde, vocalist, composer, and transformational coach (Glastonbury alumnus and professional gamelan musician), this workshop blends creativity, mindfulness, and language to awaken a sense of loving freedom and calm awareness.
