Our wish for you is

that by taking this guided adventure with us you will be able to

  • Express & release stuck emotions that weigh you down

    When we are in a state of stress, then we can often find it difficult to express emotions and also to connect to a sense of joy, calm and peace. This guided journey will help you to break through those barriers by encouraging you to create a new daily routine that is nurturing, freeing and celebrates your individual expression.

  • Be more present with your body offering compassionate responses

    Being in a state of stress can cause your body to go into the freeze, fight, flight response. This is an activated nervous system and keeps you in survival mode. Creating space for daily creative flow can help to reset your nervous system through positive distraction, inviting more relaxation and compassion into your world.

  • Embrace a deeper sense of peace, calm, clarity & confidence

    All of the prompts and creative practices that we share are designed to challenge your current stress response by rewiring your brain to seek out calming experiences. We call this resetting the stress response and it is a well researched approach to therapeutic change.

Hi, we are Suzanne & Tanja

For the last 8 years we have been creating and nurturing transformational and award winning communities and spaces that make a difference in the world by facilitating healing conversations, programmes and training. For the first time we are joining hearts and hands to bring you this virtual retreat experience where creativity and healing collide to ignite your creative spark that will light the way for your own transformation.

Join us on this creative adventure which aims to reset the stress response in your brain and body

so that you can build a daily healing and self-care practice that focuses on feel good creative moments delivered in small daily prompts.

  • A daily miracle moment delivered to you

    In this course hub and dedicated experience community. Each nudge will include either a short video or written invitation to create something that will help you to focus that day on creating a pause and reset moment.

  • Community created for you

    We have both created and nurtured award winning communities and it felt important for us to co-create a safe space where you can share your adventures, your wins and your challenges to offer and receive support from each other.

  • Live sessions in your community

    Suzanne and I want to meet you and hear from you and so we will facilitate a monthly drop in live session to offer a sharing circle where we can celebrate each other along this journey and connect with each other as we go.

Why Miracle flow?

A state of flow, often referred to as being "in the zone," is a psychological concept coined by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. When someone experiences a state of flow, they are fully absorbed in what they are doing, feeling energized, focused, and enjoying a sense of effortless involvement without deep thought. This helps us to be more present, to calm the nervous system, to feel a greater sense of purpose and connection with the world around us, to have a deeper sense of control over our lives,  and is associated with a sense of joy, confidence and relaxation.

When we take time daily to create space for more flow in our lives we invite more wellbeing and can begin to reset the pathways in the brain. This takes practice and our experience some guidance and a community of like-minded people who are supporting each other along the way.

When we are in a state of flow and we experience those deeply nurturing and changing 'aha' moments we like to call these little miracles. The more we have of these the more we grow and heal.

So Miracle Flow was born!

How will this work?

We have created 40 creative nudges which we will activate daily within your dedicated community. These will also be available in your course app here online and you will receive an email nudge too for those who prefer emails. These creative prompts have been carefully chosen to help you to explore a topic around creating more space for flow and healing within your life by rewiring your brain and body for expression, growth and relaxation. They are a mixture of powerful  5-10 minute videos, questions and prompts and exploration with Suzanne and Tanja. We also include a series of short introduction demonstration videos around being playful with paint, doodling, writing and other creative prompts. There are no time pressures and you can create these whenever you like. You will get indefinite access to your resources (for at least 12 months) and will have ongoing access to your community where we hope you might find a connection with others too.

What does the science say?

We are seeing more and more creative therapies and wellbeing workshops being facilitated online and in person to improve mental health and wellbeing. As a qualified therapist, I have witnessed the incredible transformations that my clients have experienced in their recovery from burn out, stress, trauma, anxiety and disordered eating by changing their relationship with themselves through developing a daily creative practice of curiosity, expression and compassion and Suzanne and I want that for you too.

I recently read a review from 2010 of literature which explored the benefits of the arts by Stuckey and Noble. This review considered more than 100 studies, concluding that creative expression has a powerful impact on health and well-being.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a positive psychologist took to the TedX stage to share his talk on how "Flow is the secret to happiness" and this experience offers opportunities for you to escape to a place of flow and get lost in a process of living in the present moment.
