The Quiet Place: Winter Edition

Natalia Millman is leading The Quiet Place: Winter Edition at Highfield Park on Saturday 5 December, a two-hour guided creative-rest session that runs through the afternoon. It's a slow-paced afternoon rather than a performance, and the whole thing is built around the idea of taking a bit of space for yourself when the days are at their shortest.

The session moves through a few different things, one after another. It starts with breathwork to settle you in, followed by intuitive mark-making—the kind of drawing where you just let your hand move without worrying about what it's supposed to be. From there it shifts into reflective writing, and it all closes with a sound bath, so you leave the room in a different head-space than when you walked in. It's a guided sequence, which means you don't have to figure out what to do next; you just follow along for the full two hours.

It's held at the Highfield Park Visitor Centre on Hill End Lane in St Albans, AL4 0RA. The session starts at 15:00, and tickets are £35.
