I really liked your recent post about the Irish bath house. I would like to read more of that sort of thing plus your outdoor Irish environment ie the coast and swimming. Family life, the seasons, big feelings like grieving plus light hearted chat. I like the topics of the recordings with your Substack friends but don’t get round to listening to them as I find over half an hour too long to fit in between other activities across the day. Hope this is constructive feedback. Xx
Hi Layla, your time at the baths sounds so lovely and restful! So needed this time of year!
Unfortunately the poll won’t let us choose multiple options. I love all the topics you mentioned and would so enjoy exploring them further with you. I found the elements sessions both informative and inspiring, and they have lingered with me.
In terms of format, I love all the options you mentioned other than the self- guided workshops. This is purely because self-guided things tend to get added to my to do list and not done, whereas I’m better at prioritising live and group events. I also very much love being in spaces with others who write, as it’s a privilege I haven’t found in normal life yet.
Hope that helps! Thanks so much for this space, it’s one of my favourite substack places ❤️
dang! foiled by the poll! I didn't realise that, and I've just checked and there doesn't seem to be an option to change that like in other polling I've used... I'm sorry! feedback is super helpful here Ingrid, I really appreciate it. And what's most interesting is that everything people are enjoying are the things that spark most for me, too. Thanks again L x
Also I wish you could select more than one in these polls! I love all of the ideas you have offered, I think for me in my current season of life/motherhood it’s often tricky to be in live calls but adore the idea of the writing spaces. And all of the topics you mention spark something in me… xx
I didn't realise you couldn't until I've got your message, and others. Drat! Doesn't look like I can alter that either... very grateful for the written feedback Lauren and really looking forward to our chat, too. x
You are so welcome. I did a survey through my website earlier this year and it was so useful, perhaps another option if you want deeper feedback at some point xxx
God that sounds like we all need to come to your bath house! Wonderful.
I have loved the Sitting sessions and would definitely turn up for more. Living a more creative life is on my list for the coming year, and fumbling towards a brighter future sounds intriguing and, well, why wouldn’t you?
I’d also like to build confidence - bravery actually - in writing, if you know anything about that …
(I sent a dm message last week but something substack said made me think it didn’t get to you. I’m an amateur here!)
These baths sound awesome 🛀🥰 I hope you had a lovely relaxing time absorbing all the water’s wisdom.. love that 💕 Really looking forward to catching up with the “rage” chat 👍
What a gorgeous bath experience, Layla! I'm certainly interested in the topic of new ways to work as well as living a creative live. I've also loved the 6am group writing and was thrilled when you said this might continue on a monthly basis. Wishing you a gorgeous Christmas. Gabriela x
