Fauna

A phone-free hour to scribble, sketch, and sit together outdoors.

 No pressure to "do" anything - just presence, creativity, and quiet company.

Phones go away at the start. What you do with the hour is up to you: sketch, write, doodle, read or simply sit and notice the world around you.

Open to all adults (16+), but please ensure you've booked your spot

, co-founder of Fauna, local calligraphy teacher and podcast host will be welcoming you all to the first of these free un-guided community events and ensure you're all settled before we begin.

This first session is held with local sound practitioner 

, who will bring her crystal singing bowls for a live soundscape to sit and create alongside - gentle, resonant tones to ease you into stillness as you sketch, write, or just breathe. Maria's work draws on sound healing, Reiki, crystal therapy, and plant medicine, rooted in ancestral wisdom and the idea that everything - including us - is frequency and vibration. Connect with her 

a sketchbook and any pens, pencils, or pastels (or borrow ours), plus something to sit on if you'd like - a stool, cushion, mat, or blanket. Or just bring yourself.

The intention of these session is to encourage quiet creative time, therefore please note:

Please check the weather before-hand and ensure you bring whatever you need to be comfortable.
