TODAY:  Creative Expression - the pause we all need right now with my guest Chantal Travers

 

Creative Expression — The Pause We All Need Right Now is a soulful conversation with creative writing guide Chantal Travers, inviting listeners into a much-needed moment of stillness in a fast, noisy world. Together, we explore creativity not as performance or productivity, but as a living, breathing practice of presence; a way to soften, listen inward, and allow authentic expression to emerge. We will explore:

  • Is everyone creative?
  • What states are we accessing when we create?
  • The power of journaling
  • Chantal's own journey into creative expression and founding Writual for other creatives
  • Tips on getting started

About Chantal:

Chantal Travers is a writer, facilitator and the founder of Writual.

Writual combines energy practices with creative expression so participants can let it all flow. She is a qualified Qi Gong Yuan Gong Teacher (Ren Xue), certified Shared Reading Facilitator, and recently completed a certificate in Expressive Writing Therapies. She is also completing an MA in Creative Writing and Literature.

Chantal is the author of A Singapore Christmas Delight Children’s Picture Book, and her poetry and prose have been published in several literary journals. She is also currently writing a novel, the idea for which was selected as one of ten from 97 applicants for the Faber Academy year-long novel writing programme.

Chantal believes deeply that everyone has the capacity to create when given the right conditions of emotional safety, inspiration and belonging. Through Writual, Chantal helps others tap into the words, wisdom, ideas, and stories held within the body that are waiting for the right moment to emerge.

Originally from London, UK, Chantal has lived in Hong Kong, Beijing and Singapore. She founded and ran two award-winning retail businesses and prior to that, had an 18-year career in marketing. Now living in Sydney with her husband and son, Chantal uses Writual to foster community and help others find a restorative connection to themselves and the world around them.
