Hello Reader,

Just a quick one from me today before I head to the community allotment, which I helped set up, to do some digging and planting.

Last week was a big week in my world; I turned 50. It feels like such an incredible privilege to be here, fit and healthy and knowing peace and freedom. It made me reflect on how many years I suffered under the weight of my thoughts and I don't take it lightly that that is no longer my enduring experience. Thank goodness I learnt that I didn't have to pay attention to, and take thoughts seriously. I no longer try to change thoughts, manage there or get rid of them, which was exhausting, but instead, simply see them for what they are...things that pass through Me, that which is aware of them all.

Anyway, the reason I wanted to pop in your inbox today was not to tell you that. I hadn't actually planned to tell you but clearly my fingers had another idea ;).

I wanted to let you know that tomorrow, for the first time ever, I am going to be leading a live Intuitive Doodling session over on the Insight Timer App. It is free to download and is free to attend. You can find the details by clicking on the button below:

Back in October I was drawn to scribble on a piece of paper and colour in the resulting spaces, while I was listening to talks at the Viva Event in Spain. Then I seemed to continue, and what I realised was that it seemed to allow a degree of freedom from the thinking mind, and connected me to intuition, or Knowing. Simply allowing lines and patterns to be created without any thought directing them.

It's the perfect thing to do to create a pause in your day if you find yourself struggling to simply sit and Be.

So I invite you to join me tomorrow at 12.45pm for 45 minutes. I'll guide you through the process, but really it's just about being willing to see what happens. There is nothing on it. No requirement to create a masterpiece and certainly no artistic talent is needed! I mean, as a kid, I'm pretty sure doodling was just what happened as your mind relaxed and wandered. At the end of the session you can simply put what you created in the bin if you like. Or you can take a picture and share it with me! Whatever you like.

Here's an example of one I did last week...

And finally, talking of Viva, I want to share a blog post I wrote for them this week entitled 'decluttering and 'letting go' of what's no longer needed'.

You can read that by clicking on the button below:

I think that's all for now. I'd love to hear what you take from the blog if you read it. And of course, I'd love to exploring Intuitive Doodling with you if it interests you.

Until next time, happy experimenting.

Much love,

Vicki

Mindful/Intuitive Art Retreat: 15th - 18th May

Again I'm joining Lucy Sheffield to create a long weekend of connecting to nature and following intuition to paint and create in a field in Devon. There are a couple of spaces left. If you'd like one you can find out more here.

Nature Wellbeing Walk - Listening For a Feeling: 25th July 10.30am - 12pm

I'm teaming up with Rebecca Abrahams, a qualified therapist who has experience of connecting and restoring both nature and human health and wellbeing, to deliver a 90 minute guided walk on Woodbury Common, Devon. We will be encouraging a connection to both intuition and nature through deep listening and creativity.

The session is free but places are limited to 16 so if you'd like a spot reply to this email and I'll put you on the list before it is widely advertised.

Ways To Work With Me

Read my books

I've written two books, both of which invite you to experiment and explore living life differently. The first, The Truth Beyond Thought; Experiments To Rediscover Peace & Freedom, helps guide you to first seeing what you're not, to remembering what you are. The second, Intuition Experiment, is a combination of book and journal, and invites you into a month-long experiment to living life from intuition rather than conditioned habitual thinking. Both are available to download on my website as PDF's or on Amazon as e-books or physical books.

The Intuition Experiment Community

This is my supportive monthly membership that you can join and leave at any time, to explore living more from intuition (or 'true self') than from conditioned, habitual thoughts. It's where I'm most active in supporting individuals to live a free-er life outside of my 1:1 work. If you find yourself wanting to live life differently, then join this lovely small community to transition to a new paradigm. One where more ease and flow is available, more of the time. Full details here.​​

1:1 Coaching/Mentoring

I have space for a couple of people in my 1:1 work. If you'd like more personalised support to live a life of freedom then book a free exploratory call to see if we might be a good fit to work together. The call itself may be enough to move you forward...
