Creativitea Time
I
Creativitea Time is a gentle, self-led creative companion.
It was created for people who are tired of trying to keep up, and who sense there is a quieter, truer way back to themselves. You are welcome to arrive slowly.
What's Inside Creativitea Time
Inside Creativitea Time you’ll find over 50 lessons and creative invitations, including:
guided creative sessions
painting processes and video demonstrations
journaling and reflection prompts, samples and examples
quiirky character-led explorations (Muriel, Petunia Jade, Ethel Mae, Lady Bridgette)
rituals for rest, release, courage, grief, and renewal
Who This Tends to
Creativitea Time tends to people who are tired.
Tired from life, from fear, and from trying to keep up with a fast, noisy creative culture that asks too much.
This is a space for those who sense there is more honesty, feeling, and creative truth available to them than they have been allowed to express.
Many arrive feeling overwhelmed and quietly disconnected, not looking for another solution, but for relief.
Here, you do not have to perform, measure up, or make art only to sell it. You are invited to listen inwardly, move at your own pace, and trust the quiet strength that is already there.
How To Be With This Material
You are not required to move through this offering in order.
You are invited to enter it like a tea room. To leave urgency, status, and expectation at the door. To choose what you need on the day you arrive, and to trust that your body knows.
This work was largely created in sequence, following the arc of the daily nudges I received as I made it. You are welcome to move through it that way if it feels supportive, or to wander according to what is calling you.
You may dip in briefly or stay a while.
You may return to the same tea again and again.
You may set it down for months and come back when life asks for something quieter.
You are not late.
You have not missed out.
This work is not required to be consumed quickly or completed. It is a library of presence and possibility, designed to meet you where you are, not where you think you should be.
Let your own timing lead.
Let your own knowing guide you.
Reflections from inside Creativitea Time
“I didn’t need fixing. I needed somewhere to land.”
“This felt like permission to slow down without disappearing.”
“I came back to myself in small, ordinary ways.”
What is inside Creativitea Time?
Creativitea Time is a substantial creative archive made up of over 50 lessons, including just under four hours of recorded content across 29 short videos, alongside written reflections, creative invitations, and guided practices.
The work was created across five weeks of daily making and reflection, and has been preserved largely in its original form.
Rather than being organised as a linear course, it is held as a collection of themed spaces you can move through in your own way.
Inside, you’ll find:
- painting sessions and creative processes
- Smashbook and journaling practices
- meditations and quiet pauses
- character-led teachings and reflections
- moments of rest, integration, and gentle closure
Some lessons offer direct guidance. Others offer presence, orientation, or context. All are there to support you in different seasons.
This work is not designed to be consumed quickly or completed. It is a library of creative companionship, meant to be returned to as needed.
Who is inside Creativitea Time?
Muriel
was the first character 'energy' to arrive when I was dreaming up this offering... she's a bit of an admin/organiser queen.. I wish I actually had an assistant like her..
She breezes in to get the space ready and welcoming, and practical. Creating the Smashbook as our container to hold 'all the things' is a great way to begin.
“This course is about breakthroughs, and courage and support and radical self acceptance.” - Muriel
Sessions Include
The Smashbook Series
Lazy Lizzy

Petunia Jade

Pen & Wash drawing

Ethel Mae (or May Not)

Ethel Mae is pretty much the opposite of Petunia Jade . . . she is wild, loud, outrageous and completely committed to freedom. 'Miss 'Brave Pants' (pictured here) is one of the fun guests you'll encounter in Ethel Mae's space.
“I help you unlock a whole lot of stuff that may never see the light of day if you only ever focus on nicey nice land.” - Ethel Mae

Courageous Collage
Full Moon Ceremony

Lady Bridgette
Holds the arc of Maiden, Mother, Goddess through painting and encounter.
"As we began this week I wrote
"Bridgette feels very very calm"
and then, tempestuous, vast and deep
I notice . . . on completion,
she has, for me, returned to a self accepting, calm.
- Denise
“Releasing perfectionism and focusing on your gifts will serve you well” - Bridgette
