I’m back to the somewhat New Agey Year of Fun experiences this week, this time with a Sound Bath. OK for those of you unfamiliar with this sound-bathing thing, like I was until very recently, I’m going to read what’s on the website of the place I visited, The Tree of Life, Hove. “Lay back […]
This is one that might strike some of you as a bit… odd. I mean, your idea of Fun might be very far from planning the logistics of a holiday and actually indulging in the research involved in making the most out of a short break. Truth be told, I was at a bit of […]
In this week’s episode of the Creative Introvert podcast I talk to someone I’ve actually met in REAL LIFE, which is always a treat, a fellow seaside dweller and creative introvert, Rachel Shorer. Rachel writes and performs as a way to channel her tendency to overshare about her personal life and rant about stuff like […]
I’ll be honest: I was a bit reluctant to record today, partly because I’m simply not in the mood, and partly because I was feeling some guilt around the actual subject of today’s Year of Fun. I think I’ve gotten into the habit, particularly in recent YOF episodes, to pick things i think will be […]
I know I know! ANOTHER workshop. With a spiritual ilk. Is this the Year of Fun, or am I just having an existential crisis? Hopefully I justified my reasoning for these group-based activities a bit more last week, but if not: I’ll elaborate. When you work from home, when you revel in your alone time, and […]
In this week’s episode of the Creative Introvert podcast I talk to Dana Kaye of Branding Outside the Box. Dana helps driven entrepreneurs make more meaningful use of time by offering simple, easy-to-implement productivity hacks. At Branding Outside the Box, Dana draws from her experience helping hundreds authors launch their unique brands. What we […]
Another group activity today, this time: a Yin yoga workshop. Why all the group activities, you might be wondering? After all, isn’t this an INTROVERT’S Year of Fun? It’s true, as an introvert I do value my alone time. Oh boy do I value it. And if I don’t get enough of it, yes, I […]
In this week’s episode of the Creative Introvert podcast I talk to Caroline Van Kimmenade of the Happy Sensitive. I’ve talked a little bit about being a hsp or a highly sensitive person on the podcast before, and you might be familiar with the term yourself. You might even consider yourself to be one – […]
My interest in the nature of the mind, consciousness and all things esoteric has been steadily growing since I was at university. That said, I wasn’t exactly scientific in my approaches to this exploration. A few space cakes won’t make you an existential philosopher, even if you think so at the time. I found yoga […]
A somewhat gentler Year of Fun challenge from last week… but not without it’s own risks of mild peril. Candle making was something that wasn’t actually on my Year of Fun bucket list, until a small brainwave I had a couple of months ago. Two male friends on separate occasions expressed their irrational love for… […]
