Table for Two.

A February Rendezvous

Wisdom helps us do really hard things in beautiful ways.

It doesn’t shout for attention or rush to conclusions; it has a quiet, measured grace that shapes not just what we do, but how we do it.

Dear Reader of this little art-house aka ‘Catching Shower Flowers’—

As February begins, I wanted to gift you this thought—an offering for your decision-making, for the moments when clarity feels out of reach and choices feel heavy.

Wisdom has certain earmarks,

I have come to learn that wisdom has this way of leaving things better than it found them. It respects timing, allowing space for reflection instead of demanding urgency. It considers not only the outcome but also the people, the process, and the quiet ripples of each choice.

Wisdom is practical yet deeply poetic;

When we lean into wisdom, we often find ourselves doing hard things—things that challenge us, stretch us, and sometimes hurt—but in ways that bring beauty into the equation. There’s an elegance in navigating life with wisdom, a way of making even the hardest moments meaningful.

So, as you step into this new month, I encourage you to pause and ask: What does wisdom sound like in this moment? Where is it guiding you to choose beauty over hurry, grace over force?

Here’s to a February full of considered choices, and the quiet assurance that wisdom’s path always leads us where we need to go. If you’d like to sit at the table with me as you unfold your year, it would be my absolute honour to carve out a space for your decisions, your dreams, and all that 2025 holds.

At the Table with Tess

A place to unfold—Have questions? A specific topic of focus? An idea you want to explore?

Magnifique!

Bring it all to the table (via zoom).

The table is where we gather—where ideas unfold, questions find their footing, and creative work takes on clarity and purpose. These one-on-one sessions are an offering, a communion of sorts, designed to give you the space and support to move forward with intention.

Here’s what the table holds:

1. An Invitation to Begin
   Before we meet, you’ll receive a thoughtful questionnaire. This allows me to prepare for our time together with care and curiosity, tailoring our session to your creative needs.

2. Ninety Minutes of Unfolding
   Our time together will be both structured and fluid, shaped by your questions and guided by the breadth of my creative experiences. Whether we’re mapping out a project, untangling a challenge, or letting the conversation unfold as it wishes, this space is yours.

3. Table Minutes
   Following our session, you’ll receive a detailed recap—a thoughtful distillation of everything shared, filled with love-notes of encouragement and practical steps to carry forward.

4. A Week of Gentle Correspondence
   For one week after our meeting, I’ll be available via WhatsApp. This is your space to revisit questions, share progress, or simply keep the conversation alive as your ideas continue to evolve.

5. A Gift of Connection
   As a gesture of gratitude, I’ll offer you a one-month subscription to Catching Shower Flowers, where my creative work resides—a small invitation to linger a little longer in the little arthouse of creativity I have created, for you.

6. 50% off any sessions required after your first meeting with Tess for on-going table sessions to guide you through your projects.

These sessions are an open hand, a quiet but resolute “yes” to your creativity. Whether you need guidance on publishing, timelines, design, or simply someone to listen as you speak your ideas into the air, the table is ready for you.

If this speaks to your season, you can find more details and book a session below.

Together, we’ll meet —slowly, artfully, with a sense of purpose, wisdom and beauty that honours the weight and wonder of what you’re making and where you are walking.

With love and caught flowers,

Reader, sower, patron—co-conspirator of this quiet little arthouse, Thank you for supporting Catching Shower Flowers. You are part of this strange and tender place where the world tilts slightly, and art spills out. Your patronage isn’t just a gesture; it’s an act of recognition. It whispers, This matters. Keep going. And so, I do—because you are here, because you believe in the turning of thoughts, thoughts that have the chance to move into language, into poem, into story. I am grateful for you.
