Quiet creativity
reconnect to yourself WITH MY gentle creative wellbeing programme
A month of creative nurturing
Quiet Creativity is a 4 week creative wellbeing programme to gently nurture yourself and your innate creativity. Every week throughout November you will be guided to connect to yourself and the world around you with a light and playful programme of workshops and reflective activities.
This is a safe, slow online space away from the hustle and bustle, filled with quiet moments to get you feeling good. Through a mixture of creative activities and journalling prompts I’ll encourage you to let go of inner judgements and tune into your creativity through play and art-making without the pressure of ‘making art’.
Come home to your creativity. Come home to you.

How it works
Quiet Creativity is delivered through a mixture of online pre-recorded workshops and fortnightly check-in calls.
When you purchase a space on the programme you will have access to your own private online course area, where each week new activities will be unlocked.
Quiet Creativity is mostly self-led, meaning the majority of the workshops and activities are pre-recorded, or available in written and audio format, so you can access them in your own time, at a pace that best suits you. There will be two (optional) group check-in Zoom calls during the programme, which are an opportunity to come together and share how we are getting on.
We’ll ivite in more:
Quiet spaciousness
Creative play
Sacred self time
Gentle reflection
Small moments
Appreciation of everyday creativity
You will get…
-
Warm-ups
Every week you’ll get a quick creative warm-up to start things off. These will take 5-10 minutes, and will help loosen your creative muscles.
-
Workshops
Every week you’ll get a pre-recorded workshop, where I guide you through a longer creative activity. These will take between 30 – 45 minutes.
-
Reflections
Every week you’ll also get 3-4 journalling prompts to reflect on your experiences. You don’t need a special notebook for this, any paper will do.
-
Create & connect calls
There will be 2x relaxed Zoom calls to connect, check in and ask any questions.
-
A paper pack
I’ll send you an envelope in the post with a selection of different collage papers for you to play with during the workshops.
-
Quiet Playlist
You’ll get access to a Quiet Creativity playlist I’ve specially curated for the retreat, which is filled with calm music to create to.
Exploring natural creativity
You don’t need or want to be an artist to join Quiet Creativity, you just need a desire to bring a bit more creativity and calm into your world.
Everybody is innately creative, and it is this natural creativity which I’ll guide you to explore. Using markmaking, collage, expressive drawing, word play and reflective prompts, you’ll be invited to connect more deeply to yourself and the world around you in gentle, simple and joyful ways.
There is no right or wrong way to take part, and no good or bad art – the only thing that matters is the creative process and your experience of it.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ‘QUIET’?
In this retreat, ‘Quiet’ means a few different things…
A gentle pace
I have structured Quiet Creativity specifically with rest and self-care in mind. You can access the activities and workshops at a time and place that best suits you, and work through them at your own pace. I have also included a rest week in the middle to slow things down.
Sacred self time
Exploring our natural creativity can be a vulnerable thing to do, and I believe it can be supportive to do this in the safety of our own space. While there is a time and a place for sharing our work with the world and on social media, this can intensify feelings of comparison and self-judgement, so throughout this programme I invite you to choose to create for you – and only you.
Moments of peace
Connecting to your creativity and making time for reflection can offer moments of peace, stillness and connection – both within yourself and with the people and places around you.
You will need some basic materials which you will hopefully already have in your home:
A computer, tablet or phone
Plain white A4 paper
Pen & pencil
Scissors
Glue (e.g. Pritt stick)
Colouring pencils/pens
Paper scraps for collage
Activities can be adapted around whatever materials you already have, so there’s no need to buy anything special.

There is no difference in cost, but you may be charged foreign transaction fees by your bank when you book a spot if you are outside the UK. It might also take up to 2 weeks for your paper pack to reach you in the post if you live outside of Europe.
-
Keeping up with a programme for weeks at a time can feel intensive and overwhelming for many people, and I felt this would defeat the point of the retreat. By offering a shorter programme at a slower pace and including a rest week, I hope to make the retreat accessible to as many people as possible.
-
None of the activities in this retreat are about ‘making art’ in the way you might be used to. I do not try to hone or craft specific skills with you – instead, I will guide you to use creativity and artmaking as a tool for self-expression. To do this we’ll use a range of techniques, including collage, markmaking, expressive drawing, word play and journalling.
-
Each week’s content will become available by 8am GMT on the Monday morning. You will receive an email when new content is available.
-
In total, the retreat activities will take approximately 2 hours per week, however this will be broken up in smaller moments. You can roughly expect the following:
Warm-ups will take 5-15 minutes
Workshops will take 30 – 45 minutes
Journalling will take 10 – 20 minutes
You do not have to complete the activities at the same time, although I would recommend completing warm-ups, then workshops, then journalling in that order.
-
You will have lifetime access to the workshops and activities in Quiet Creativity.
This is dependent upon the programme running, my website remaining on this platform and my business continuing.
-
Of course! You are most welcome to share what you create if you feel excited to do so. The retreat doesn’t include a community or sharing element on purpose to encourage self-exploration, but if you want to share anything I would LOVE to see what you create. You can email me directly at rhiannon@rhiannonadler.co.uk or if you use Instagram you can tag me @rhiannon.adler – but there is equally no pressure at all to share anything.
-
You can contact me with any questions or problems at rhiannon@rhiannonadler.co.uk . I work flexible hours Monday to Friday, 10am – 4pm, and it may take a few working days for me to reply.
