Have you ever wondered if the universe was sending you a message? The Lost Letter is a feel-good short story where Farrah finds a mystery letter in the small lakeside cafe she's working at for summer.

Short Fiction - What happens when the universe sends you a letter?

I love to use up extra paint from larger pieces to paint colourful backgrounds. When I need a low pressure painting break, I paint fun, whimsical fruits on them! I post painting process videos and meditation inspiration on my TikTok so follow me there if you like!

I am a qualified Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher and artist. After working in healthcare for years and seeing colleagues and patients struggling with mental health, burnout and the stress of life, I know how powerful the right tools and practices can be to manage our own stress. I teach practices and techniques to access your innate knowing and inner resources. In my teaching and my own practice, I've drawn inspiration from scientific research on mindfulness and meditation. I'm also influenced by non-dual spiritual traditions such as buddhism, as well as the power of nature and artistic creativity.

About this page: I am a qualified Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher and artist. This page will provide information on my latest events, programs, workshops and art! I am based in Lake Cowichan, BC and have both virtual and in-person classes and events. You can also see my website sidkemsley.com for more details. This summer I will be offering the full 8-week MBSR program online. MBSR is an exceptional, evidence-backed program that provides a supportive group learning environment to explore tools that help reduce life stress and has been shown to improve many symptoms of mental and physical illness (such as anxiety, depression, chronic pain).
