What is a Quieteer? There’s no one way to be quiet. No single story that fits us all. We’ve come to know and love a wide and wonderful range of people who feel most at home in the calm, the thoughtful, and the slow. People who care deeply, notice quietly, and move through the world…
As the days shorten and the air cools, something in many of us starts to shift. The world feels softer, slower. We find ourselves craving blankets, candlelight, quiet evenings. And somewhere deep inside, there’s a pull to retreat – not to escape life, but to rest within it. For quiet and sensitive people, this pull…
When stress hits, do you know how your body, breath, and mindset respond? You might notice repeated patterns – maybe your shoulders tense up, your breath gets shallow, or your thoughts start racing. It can often feel like you’re stuck in a loop, wondering where all this stress is residing within you. Join Elaine Macey,…
Do you have a great idea – perhaps a hobby that could become an income, or a community project to help others – but you worry about what people will think? Maybe you’d love to start a business or go self-employed, but that quiet voice insists it’s just not possible, or that you’ll get it…
Sharing a life and a home with someone you love – a partner, friend, or family member – can be deeply wonderful. It can also be quietly challenging. For many of us who are introverted, sensitive, or easily overstimulated, the idea of living with others brings a mix of excitement and a new kind of…

Our body is wonderfully complex and awe inspiring, it enables us to connect with our thoughts, other people and the world we live in….

Have you ever noticed how your breathing changes when you feel anxious? It can get shallow, tight, or fast. We rarely think about the way we breathe, and most of us were never taught how powerful this simple, constant function is. Yet, your breath is always with you, and it holds a secret: it can…
Quietness often holds great depth and wisdom, but sometimes we need a gentle nudge to see it as a strength rather than a barrier. If you’ve ever felt like your reserved nature is something you need to overcome, this workshop offers a beautiful space to reflect and see things differently. Join wellbeing writer Emily Wheeler…
I spend most Halloweens with my house lights off and curtains closed, hoping trick-or-treaters won’t knock on my door and expect me to socialise. Over the years I’ve turned it from pure avoidance into a comforting little ritual – a scary film in bed, snacks within reach, fairy lights for cosiness without being too visible…
