Restore and Renew
February 26th
with Malikkah Rollins
A gentle, guided opportunity for documentary filmmakers to slow down, reconnect, and restore.
Dream Doors of Rest
March 19th
with Serra Ciliv
Following the body’s signals, beyond habitual resistance to rest into a dream-like landscape of curiosity, imagination and quiet meaning.
Creative Slow Time
April 16th
with Clair Maleney
Craft and creativity have the power to induce restorative flow states, yet working in creative industries we are often living with the exact opposite. Explore and (re)connect to your creativity in this facilitated playful session.
A Seasonal Pause
May 21st
with Rebecca Day
An outdoor session, to breathe, grow and settle from Spring into Summer: call in from a quiet place where you can feel the sun on your face and the grass beneath your feet, or simply let the outdoors indoors by an open window.
A Mindful Moment
June 18th
with Helen Lawrie
Gentle Practices to Help You Reconnect with Yourself and Return to Centre. Call in from a comfortable, quiet space where you can sit, and if you’d like, stand and move a little.
Press Pause
July 16th
with Shaleece Haas
Connect to yourself and to others by increasing awareness of your body’s sensations and signals. Sit comfortably, and if you’d like, also stand and move a little.
Each month, guided exercises will gently support you to reflect on what you or your project needs. In an industry where productivity is the constant goal, we invite you to put that aside for 45 minutes and pay attention to the present moment.
Anybody working on the life of a film is welcome and you can drop in every month or when you please.
Sessions are open to everyone — join for free.
If you’re able, please consider making a donation to support our practitioners.
