To my clients and those reading this post … This is my wish for you. ✨

May you find moments of rest and support this holiday season.

May find a moment to connect with nature and notice both her beauty and her wisdom. For it truly is ever present.

May you remember that your strength is in your listening and in welcoming your own unique self.

May you embrace change as an ally, not an enemy. We are all learning this.

May you notice and embrace the fullness of who you are and may all of who you are be welcomed to the table.

May your breath be a currency and a steady resource.

May you settle into pause and release that which no longer serves you.

May you know that you are loved

May you be seen
May you be heard
May you be supported

Yours in service
Danielle

The honouring of grief

Sandra Sheck-Dickson

I missed you quietly today. So quietly that no one noticed.

I missed you as I climbed out of bed and as I brushed my teeth; when I waited at the lights on the drive into work and as I heard the rain outside my window.

I missed you as I ordered lunch and as I kicked off my shoes when I got home; as I switched off the lights and climbed into bed for the night.

I missed you without tears or noise or fanfare.
But oh how I felt it.

I felt it in the morning, at lunchtime, in the evening and at night. I felt it as I woke, as I waited, as I worked. I felt it at home, on the road, in the light, in the dark, in the rain.

I felt it in every one of those moments, each one sitting heavier and heavier as the weight of me missing you kept growing and growing.

Yes, I missed you so quietly today.

But I felt it so loudly.

On route to meet with fellow eco-feminist and friend .a.wilkin reading a new book by one of my favourite authors

I have been deep diving into myth, personal archetype and the journey of being a woman at mid life work within my own creative practice the last few years. Some of which was featured at my recent installation at .coffeeco

The recent process of prepping and painting my homebase studio has deep, ended this through listening to audiobooks during the process.

I’m not sure yet of how all of this is going to influence the way I work with clients yet however I can feel it calling me to pay attention. I continue to exist in the liminal space and be curious.

my curiosity has me wondering about what fairytales and myth may resonate with you, and why?

A PERSONAL PROCESS 🤲🏻

As an Expressive Arts Therapist, I prioritize time within my week for my own art making process. I have recently installed an arts based body of work offering a snapshot into my own personal process up at White Rabbit Coffee Co. (.coffeeco) until July 30th.

Many parts are interactive and invites the viewer to explore and be curious. You will notice that there are certain colors, shapes, symbols, sounds and gestures that speak to me. These may be something I explore for a reason, season or lifetime and within some of the displayed processes I offer you an opportunity to witness my relationship to them and them to me. The process of art making provides as opportunity for the subconscious to meet the conscious within the art itself. This process may also lead to moments of healing, greater understanding of self, have elements of surprise, and support self discovery.

The intention of the installation is to offer insight into what Expressive Arts Therapy is, what ways one may discover support through creatives expression and how the overall process is client centred (unique or personal to them).

Grab a coffee, snack and go get curious 🌬️✨🐇

Old trees birth new blossoms
Encouraging my tired heart
It too wishes to bloom again
