Glimmer Sessions
Every Monday evening, a small group of us gather on Zoom to be quietly creative together.
We open with a short optional check in, draw a card, and then we simply do whatever we want to do. Some people read, some write or sketch, some stitch or paint. Cameras and sharing optional, come exactly as you are.
Season runs September 14th to December 14th every Monday 7–8pm and every other Sunday 6-7:30 pm UK time.
£99/£66/£33 for the whole season on a sliding scale.
I have been attending these sessions for a while now and I love them! As a chronically ill person I appreciate that I can go at my own pace. Some weeks I paint, journal, or do some mending, but just as often I sit or rest whilst benefiting from some virtual company. Thank you so much Yarrow!
What’s included
Weekly creative companionship
Gentle weekly sessions where we open together and then work quietly in our own way. No teaching, no pressure to share.
Every Monday night, 7-8pm UK time.
Fortnightly Sunday sessions
For those who’d like some extra creativity on a Sunday, we meet from 5-6:30pm UK time every other week starting September 20th.
A tarot workshop
On Saturday October 10th, 5-7pm UK time we’ll come together for a cozy tarot workshop to help us ground into the season, map our dreams for autumn and winter and pick up a few new spreads.
Why I’m offering this…
Staying connected to ritual and creative practice can be hard, especially when there is so much going on in the world. But when you know there is a friendly bunch of people committed to doing it with you, it becomes a beautiful habit with much less effort.
That’s why I created Glimmer Sessions.
It gives us a weekly rhythm and a gentle space. A chance to show up and touch base with yourself, whether you’re painting, resting, journaling, or lighting candles in silence.
Each session begins with a card draw and an optional check-in before we each dive into our own slow magic. No need to share or be on video unless you want to.
Glimmer Sessions are a beautiful, welcoming, and emotionally nurturing space where people can gently explore their creative pursuits. Yarrow brings care and dedication to cultivating an environment where attendees feel safe to show up exactly as they are.
You might feel at home here if:
- You’re living with grief, chronic illness, or a slower life than the world expects of you
- You want the company of others without the pressure of being witnessed or performing
- You’ve been meaning to stay connected to your creative practice and just… haven’t
- You’re tired of Zoom spaces that ask a lot of you
- You want a simple, seasonal rhythm to come back to
What You Might Do During Sessions

Slow stitch your nervous system into deep chill
Play with water colours without worrying about the outcome
Draw cards to explore your next steps
These sessions have been the highlight of my week where I can find a warm and welcoming space to be creative or process emotions and thoughts. My life is fairly isolated, so having a group like this, led with such compassion and care by Yarrow, has been transformative in providing an anchor in troubled times. Thank you so much!
A blessing for this space
May we find the courage to put our phones down and look at each other’s faces, to make weird art and drop into cozy, quiet space.
May we use our creative practice to better understand how interconnected our lives are and that we’re not alone in anything.
May we bring the joy & comfort we experience in ritual back into the world, to show up in solidarity, however imperfect it may be.
