GOBS SUNRISE SESSIONS

Launched in September 2024, GOBS Sunrise Sessions brought members of the creative community together online for a gentle, mindful start to the day.

Taking place every weekday morning from 6–6.30am on Zoom, these free sessions offered a welcoming space to establish a regular creative routine, connect with others and begin the day with intention.

Each session combined gentle stretching, breathing exercises, meditation, ten minutes of freewriting and intention-setting.

Drawing inspiration from mindfulness practices and the cycles of the moon, participants were encouraged to slow down, tune into themselves and make space for creativity before the demands of the day began.

Rather than focusing on polished poetry or finished pieces, Sunrise Sessions celebrated writing for its own sake. The programme encouraged consistency, self-reflection and creative exploration, helping participants develop a sustainable writing practice while nurturing their wellbeing and sense of connection.
