Jiqiu and I co-host an intervention in Hyde Park this weekend. We did a drawing workshop together. Before the workshop started, we discussed workshop locations and sessions and shared relevant art therapy references. Expanding on the experience of previous events with new content.

There were two main elements to this workshop. The first is painting the loneliest moments since coming out to London. After the “Grateful Flow”, and secondly, drawing the moment’s mood.
The Grateful Flow
The Grateful Flow
(As Phil Stutz and Barry Michels described in an article for Goop.)
- Start by silently stating specific things you’re grateful for, particularly things you usually take for granted. (You can also include things you are thankful are not in your life.) Go slowly. Feel the gratefulness for each item. Try to create new things for the list each time you use the tool.
- After about 30 seconds, stop thinking and focus on the physical sensation of gratefulness. You’ll feel it coming directly from your heart. This energy you are giving out is a Grateful Flow.
- Your chest will soften and open as this energy emanates from your heart. In this state, you will feel an overwhelming presence approach you, filled with the power of infinite giving. You’ve made a connection to the Source.
