The Attention Atelier

This is an Atelier for your Attention.

An invitation to make room for something that belongs to you.

To give your attention to what matters most.

You have a job, responsibilities, and a wild and precious life.

Somewhere amongst all of that, there are other things you’d love to make more time for.

A screenplay. A book. A painting. A craft project.

An idea that keeps returning, waiting for the space to explore it.

The Attention Atelier is a protected, private space to give those things your attention.

A place to spend time on your creative projects, alongside others doing the same.

There is no guidance, instruction, coaching or teaching.

No pressure to perform or share your work.

No expectation to be extraordinarily productive.

Just protected time in community, and a little structured freedom to create.

Experience Timings:
Morning in the Atelier | Fridays, 07.00 – 09.00 (Edinburgh Time)
Evening in the Atelier | Mondays, 18.30 – 20.30 (Edinburgh Time)

Bring something you are writing, making, exploring or dreaming about.
Something you have have started, something you have been wanting to start, something you need to finish.

This isn’t a workshop. There is no instruction. Nothing to prove. No pressure to share anything. 

We’ll take a few moments to settle in, then get started on what we’re working on with focused attention.

The shared experience lasts for the first hour, after which you are welcome to continue working independently for as long as you have available. 

Venue: Online with Google Meets | In Person, Killearn & Edinburgh
