Join the Choir of Brave Voices

Hi Everyone: My best buddy, Brenda, and I have been working through The Choir of Brave Voices and then we decided to do our word and experiment with writing a poem and adding some illustration. Here's our first attempt "Play"! Gillian, thanks for inspiring us!

Hello Gillian, Here’s a tale… When you first asked for volunteers to play with ‘Re-creation’, I made a start with a ‘Tomorrow’ Magic Party Activity and headed off on a walk with my phone – I took pictures from up, down, close up etc. and saved them to my laptop, intending to go back and explore my

I had an idea of using the Choir of Brave voices cards as a way into playing with an invitation So, I centered myself, closed my eyes and picked a card. See below for the outcome I went in search of the Moment Invitation and was very happy to find that Moment was inviting me to a Pottery Part

I spent a good 45 min on this exercise, the shortest amount on painting (10 min), the longer on reflecting. You need two pieces of paper, some colored pens (I used watercolor) and scissors When reflecting on the third face, I realized how it perfectly captures the extreme poles I am li

After being restless, I took 60 min to take a good walk, reconnect with myself and find some goodies in nature’s store. I took some photos and used the image of the tree for meeting notes in a meeting that I was not really looking forward to - and which I then ended up enjoying as I was using the t

What I noticed: I immediately recognised the meaning in the scribble and what final “drawing” I wanted to make out of it. What Would I have needed more: • Definitely a guiding voice instead of reading myself the instructions • Relaxing music in the foreground (it could be added as a suggestion)

This took me 10 minutes! And I felt completely re-energized after. Choosing music and artists I love created an amazing energy coupled with creating the two images. It got me pondering how they belonged together and where they had developed in a different direction despite one being an imprint of th

I am an ICF PCC coach who has been a member for 12 years. I am also on the Faculty of The Hudson Institute of Coaching, one of the oldest Coaching schools in the USA. I recently used Walter’s Choir of Brave Voices (COBV) to facilitate a Group Coaching session with ten mature leaders from an org

Situation The context for my example was the final celebration event of a 9 month career development programme for UK Government Policy professionals. This programme consisted of a blend of development centre assessed activities culminating in the creation of a personal development plan, a series

This took me 10 minutes! My emotion was ‘curiosity’. The point for me to get really curious, was when I realized how relaxed I was when drawing with the non-dominant hand, eyes closed. As soon as I switched to right hand and started filling in, selecting colours, boom, the brain came on. Suddenly,

This took me 10 minutes and one hour of drying in the sun! I dipped the string in coffee, pressed it between the two sheets and then put a heavy book on top. Then I pulled the string out. Attention if you use coffee… it can be a bit messy. Then I used a few dabs of watercolor – but this was not real

This arose following my picking of a card from Brave Voices cards. The card I picked (eyes closed) was 'Journey'. I then eagerly sought out the corresponding invitation (overleaf) from the Choir of Brave Voices Recreational Journal. I read this and was fascinated by the idea of dividing my life in

This took me 15 minutes! The emotion I wanted to replace was “impatience”. And the emotion I imagined to replace it with, was “anticipation”. I used some old linol cutting materials from our 2019 holiday cards, and cut a quick image, put on some of my print colors and voila! I used an old sketch t
