Halcyon Collective. Well-being shaped by movement, creativity and conversation.
For people who want balance, not perfection. Who love culture and community just as much as classes and quiet.
Our launch event is on January 17-18 on 228 Brick Lane. Tickets available on our website in bio. See you there š
Today marks the launch of Halcyon Collective, a project Iāve been thinking about for years but now finally have the energy to do. After having to close ChromaYoga and experiencing severe burnout, multiple instances of loss and the grief that comes with it, Iāve spent the last 3 years trying to work out what comes next.Ā
Weāve really reached at state of peak individualism, especially when it comes to wellbeing. I donāt want to live through my phone anymore, I donāt want to be a girl boss or sell you shit you donāt need as part of my āpersonal brandā. I want to offer an alternative, accessible and relatable way for you to engage with your physical and emotional health through art, design, movement, creativity and conversation.Ā
So, @halcyoncollective.co will be the space to do that and this time itās not just me on my own - my long time dance floor pal turned biz partner, @tylerwilliamsgreen , will be pushing this forward with me to build this much needed community. Starting January, weāll be doing monthly events that bring people together in different ways to experience what can make us, collectively, feel well. Hope to see you there. x
Mood board for @halcyoncollective.co ās new run club, City(e)scape. Thereās obviously a bazillion run clubs out there, each with their own identity, some with a specific purpose, so I wanted to think of a way to approach running that felt like more than just the physical act. Something that utilised my hobby of curating specialised google maps for any occasion and would make people look up from the pavement and notice the details about the city theyāre in.
First edition is happening this Sunday March 22nd with @tylerwilliamsgreen running the show. Iām working on another running concept AND a walking club starting in May so keep an eye out for when they drop or join our WhatsApp group š
I confuse rest with laziness sometimes.
Itās something Iāve been trying to unlearn (with difficultly) for the past year. I can spend days or weeks seemingly doing nothing. No updates, no plans, no projects Iāve been working on. When your nervous system takes a battering your body will eventually force you to stop, whether you want to or not.
Resting has made me angry, frustrated, depressed, overwhelmed, uncomfortable - all because itās forced me to sit with what Iāve lost rather than trying to find something to replace it. But little by little, itās allowed me to listen to and ask for what I need instead of trying to push through alone.
Excited to explore ways to facilitate rest for both myself and others through Halcyon this year. Healing is a lot harder/impossible to do on your own and I feel now more than ever an urgency to undo ourselves from this dystopian age of individualism via offline, collective wellbeing. More to come. š
Halcyon Collective is a name shaped by myth, memory and the people who made us who we are. This is the story behind it and why it felt right for what we want to create.
