Chantal Weiss Writer and Therapist

Almost 20 years have flown by since the birth of OutSideIn Therapies.

Time can feel like a paradox to me; it goes so fast, yet so much has been packed between then and now. Thank you for staying with me as we both learn and grow. Perhaps not financially / success for me yet, but certainly in emotional, spiritual and environmental ways.

Bless you

When all the magic started in my then-new practice, I met so many beautiful and amazing clients.

Thank you so much for following me on my journey of self-discovery and evolution.

Who's Holding Up The Sky

Arching my head back,
back as far as it can go
I gape up with curious wonderment
Stretching out before me,
a rich blue colour splays across a boundless space called,

The Sky

All is calm, all is still
Pure silence surrounds me as
I stand and take in this mystical scene,
observed from fresh innocence,
for the very first time

I gasp at the candy floss shapes,
splattered across the immense expanse
How do they stay up all by themselves?
Inquisitive puzzlement pulses through my newness
Childlike questions evolve through my mind

How did I get here, and where have I come from?
What’s behind the blueness?
Where does it go, and what does it feel like?
Who is holding it up, and will I ever know?

The fragments of memory fray and whisper at the edges of time…
Moons and stars have passed,
from once upon a season,
when my self-awareness first emerged

how,
what,
why,
when,
where

Who put me here?

This is how I remember it,
wondering how and why I was me,
and what was this unknown place,
When I was two or three,
alone in the garden,
on a beautiful summer’s day

JAZZ DRUMMING — A free verse poem

This is a poem for anyone who enjoyed the 2014 film: Whiplash.

It was a tough one to create and took me quite some time to pull it together.

It portrays the protagonist's 'Hero's Journey' from start to finish.

Making even very small changes in our trajectory can, over time, lead us to a very different destination. It's the small, consistent choices that create the biggest transformations over time.
