The Flow Prose series came into being in Ibiza, as an exercise in communing with the creative self.

Birthed courtesy of workshops hosted by Alexcia Panay: a meditative tea ceremony to clear the mind and settle the body, followed by several rounds of writing prompts, with the opportunity to share what was written with the others present.

The directive was simply to respond to the prompts with whatever came mind, letting go of censoring and allowing yourself to be in flow (very much in the style of The Artist’s Way’s morning pages).

As an exercise in unwinding perfectionism, here is a selection of pieces in their unedited glory. The headline is the prompt that was given; each was written in five minutes or less.
