The following words where written by Fi Joy about her experience participating in Creating Flow.
When this experience came to life I never knew exactly how impact full it would be for others. I do not have words to describe the honour and privilege it is to have been a part of such an experience. Much love ❤️ and thanks.
"Creating Flow (Six Weeks)
We began where breath lives,
hands hovering, listening,
the quiet hum of now.
Paint before meaning.
A felt sense before words.
Week by week,
we arrived as we were -
tired, hopeful, guarded, curious -
and let colour speak
what language could not yet hold.
Glimmers appeared first:
a shimmer under teal,
gold breaking through grey,
small yeses in the body—
there… there it is.
We played like children
with permission restored.
Messy joy.
Drips, scribbles, laughter, pauses.
Inner children leaning closer,
finally invited to the table.
Some things we hid under
layers laid down gently,
concealing to protect.
And some things insisted on being seen:
butterflies, flowers, figures, shadows,
truths too alive to stay buried.
We glazed.
Softened edges.
Let time do its quiet work.
Watched what changed
without forcing it to.
There was magic.
And there was fight.
Brushstrokes that resisted,
marks made in anger or grief,
then softened by breath,
by witnessing eyes,
by not being alone.
Freedom came not as escape
but as choice
to stay, to pause, to begin again.
Support moved between us,
unspoken yet solid -
the kind that grows
when you are valued,
and when you choose who you value in return.
Femininity flowed back in.
Not polished or pretty
but grounded, fierce, tender.
We let go of what no longer served,
watching it dissolve into underpainting,
no longer in charge.
Colour returned to the room.
Vitality.
Growth reaching across generations.
Hands remembering what they were taught,
and what they were never given,
creating new inheritance:
presence, care, possibility.
Nothing here is finished.
And that is the truth of it.
This is not an ending
but a living edge -
a work in progress,
still breathing,
still becoming."
