The world feels pretty scary and intense right now, so we could all use somewhere safe to retreat to, where we can recover and re-source ourselves.

Plus, the act of creating can be scary sometimes. You’re diving into your heart and exploring what you find there. You’re sharing a piece of your soul with the world. That can feel pretty vulnerable and tender.

So in this exercise, we’re going to build a space within ourselves where we feel completely safe to relax, and to be our fullest self.
