What is FlowState?

The programme is designed for people of all ages. Modern life is busy, full of pressures, challenges and distractions for just about everyone on the planet. When people don't get the opportunity to relax and decompress on a regular basis, this can lead to a build-up of stress, leading to depression, mental health issues and even physical health issues over time. There has been a lot of research done into the health benefits of creative activities. So, potentially anyone can benefit from having the opportunity to rediscover their creativity and find out how to get into their FlowState on a regular basis.

The programme is designed to be tailorable to each individual participant, because we are all unique, with differing wants, needs and goals. Clients can have a free of charge meeting with Michytee to talk about what they would like to get out of the programme and then try a single creative discovery session first, to see if the programme is something they would like to participate in on a regular basis. Then we plan accordingly!

Pricing of the programme depends on whether you prefer 1 hour, 2 hour or half day sessions and whether you would like to 'pay as you go' or book a block of 6, 12 or 18 sessions in advance.

There are plans afoot to start an Art Club for FlowStaters in the future. Details of this will be provided to FlowStaters in due course.

There is no fixed commitment or complicated contract other than you pay for your session or block of sessions in advance, and then you choose whether or not to attend. We recommend a minimum of 6 sessions. This is to help you explore some good practices, which will enable you to find creative inspiration inside yourself. We'll introduce you to several creative activities, so you explore a variety of possibilities and perhaps find at least one activity you might enjoy enough to carry on with at home. Our over-arching goal is to guide you towards building some creativity into your life as a healthy habit, because we know from experience it leads to an improved feeling of wellbeing. Some people will find 6 sessions is enough to kickstart their creative juices so that they could carry on under their own steam at home. Some will want more sessions, in order to build confidence, go deeper down the exploratory path, or to try a wider variety of art materials that they can't do at home. They book more sessions just because they enjoy the freedom and the dedicated 'me time' which is only possible for them in the FlowState studio.

Each session is tailored to the individual client, but if you're having a 2 hours or longer session it might broadly follow these steps:- Settling in Checking how you feel today. Relaxation (usually just a little breathwork or stretching) A calming activity to wake the imagination up a little A fun and expressive activity (often this can be a messy one!) Reflect on what you got out of the session Book your next session

First step is to give us a call or complete the request a call back form, so we can arrange a face-to-face or online meet-up with you to discuss if the programme could be right for you. We'll book and take payment for your Creative Discovery taster session After your first session we'll talk about how you want to proceed and come up with a programme plan to suit you. Then we'll book your slot and take payment for your next session, or your preferred block of sessions

We appreciate that sometimes having to postpone or cancel at short notice is unavoidable. If you need to postpone or cancel a session we'll need at least 24 hours' notice (or preferably longer, please), so we can book you into another slot (if available) or postpone until the following week. If you aren't able to give us a reasonable amount of notice, then we might have to charge for the missed session, but we would do our best to avoid that wherever possible. We do understand. Sh*t happens to us all from time to time!
