Winter Reflections

"Welcome to Gillian's new 'ReCreation Journal - Practical Invitations to Ignite and Grow Safe Creative Joy and Wisdom'. This Journal is the companion to her first book 'A Choir of Brave Voices' and invites us into the wonderful world of play to help us to ignite our imaginations and free our creativity!

Beautifully, thoughtfully and charmingly presented, Gillian gives us permission to play as an antidote to our dilemmas and woes, as well as celebrate all that is wonderful about life and living. Gillian's Journal gives us all permission to play and to be playful with 55 different invitations opening us up to hitherto blocked portals to discovering (or remembering) our own brilliance and wisdom - and helping our clients to do the same! 

Gillian's Journal always brings a huge childlike smile to my face as I dive into her many Party invitations getting gloriously messy and covered in glue as clarity and inspiration emerges as I play. 

The Journal just fizzes with energy, hope, optimism and inspiration as we also engage with issues that matter. Thank you Gillian for the wonderful gift of yourself and for this Journal which encourages us all to explore new ways of exploration, inquiry and creative reflection."

"Gillian is giving a new meaning to the 'blank canvas' and guides us playfully into inquiries poised to open hearts and minds. The inquiries are presented as 'Party invitations' - and by entering a Party, suddenly, we find ourselves in a place where we can suspend structural meshwork and pressures. We can witness how new ideas open, and our perspectives broaden. As we creatively and playfully explore and express, Gillian's book guides us to a threshold where boundaries of time and space begin to dissolve which in turn allows us to safely delve into new ways of being."

"I accepted a request, as part of a group, to experience some of the wonderful invitations in this book. Eventually the outcome was deeply enriching, but it was not without some initial discomfort and reluctance on my part. Let me explain!

As an introvert, I was uncomfortable 'playing' in front of others at the start. But I persisted and I am now a total convert! 

So, my fellow-introverts, I urge you to persist, and I know you will experience the radical transformation, that I have, from entering wholeheartedly into the play."
