Follow Your Curiosity / Activity

Feeling uninspired? Take a curiosity walk, gather what catches your eye, and reconnect with your creative spark.

If you’re feeling stuck, the simplest thing you can do is nurture your mind. Creativity needs space to wander — through curiosity, exploration and play. I’ve learned not to force it. Following what interests me — even when it makes no sense — often leads somewhere unexpected and exciting. Inspired by artist Es Devlin’s approach to exploratory research, this activity invites you to jump down the rabbit hole.

Activity: Go on a Curiosity Walk

1. Set off without a goal
Take a short walk. Around the block, through the park, or just to the corner shop. The point isn’t distance. It’s attention. Notice what pulls at your focus: a texture, a sound, a burst of colour.

2. Collect fragments
Snap a photo. Jot down a sentence. Record a sound. Gather at least five things that catch your eye or ear. Don’t overthink it. This is about instinct, not outcomes.

3. Look for the links
Once you’re back, lay everything out — physically or digitally. Can you spot any patterns or echoes? Shapes, moods, themes? Anything surprising?

4. Make something small
Use what you’ve gathered to make a quick response. A collage, a sketch, a short paragraph. Keep it loose. Let the fragments lead. See where the rabbit hole takes you.

We can't wait for the next collaboration with Louisa! It was such a JOYFUL evening - and the perfect match of self-expressive collage making and our colourful reclaimed materials!

Working with Louisa has been a joyful journey. Her approach is led by honesty, collaboration, and a strong commitment to her personal practice. Her presence created a soothing and relaxing atmosphere, fostering joy, creativity, and meaningful engagement. She nurtured a space where participants felt safe to connect deeply with their surroundings and their feelings.

Louisa was very inspiring, providing the audience with valuable techniques while encouraging them to reflect on themselves and express vulnerability in a creative and cathartic manner. We received lots of positive feedback from our community. They described the workshop as fun, mindful and uplifting, with everyone leaving with their own unique artwork.

Louisa and Coco Lom immersed us in music while we drew with our eyes closed. Listening to the beat without thinking completely shifted my mindset, dissolving tension and clearing away distracting thoughts. It was a transformative experience, where letting go of control and simply tuning into the music rhythm led to a more intuitive and authentic creativity.

The Negativity into Creativity workshop got me hooked. After the event, I had to meet Louisa. From the session, I had loads of clarity on personal ideas. Insights included: Have grace for yourself. Be patient with progress. 80% perfect is perfect enough. People come to you because of how you make them feel. Stay on your brand: if you are not walking the walk, how can you teach it? Stay creative, stay joyful.

I booked a coaching session as I’d been thinking of running workshops alongside my ceramics practice. The session was so inspiring and I found it the perfect mix of practical ideas and mindset work. I immediately felt at ease and able to talk through any challenges openly. Louisa offered another way of seeing things, along with helping me feel confident and supported in my decisions. My workshops are now up and running, and getting booked up!

Louisa is pure magic. She brought such an incredible, inspiring energy into my Antipodreaming brunch club event. You could feel everyone light up as she gently guided them to tap into their own creativity. Louisa has this amazing way of making people feel free, fearless, and excited to express themselves. She's an extraordinary creative and beautiful soul to work with.

I had a fantastic mentoring session with Louisa. I got so much value from our conversation. What really stood out was her follow-through after our call. That kind of support truly felt above and beyond. I highly recommend Louisa to any creative entrepreneur looking for guidance and clarity. I’m already planning to book a follow-up session once I’ve made progress on the action steps we outlined!

Thank you for organising such an inspirational workshop! I enjoyed that 120%! Your event gave me a new feeling about the chemistry between music and handwork.

Girrrrrrl!!! With all your help I am top dog with Meta. I still need to jump through some hoops, but I am the one they've chosen.
