This July, something quietly beautiful is taking shape across Cornwall. As part of HushFest, Cornwall’s Festival of Quietness, we’re inviting people from across our communities to contribute a small piece of creative work to a shared exhibition celebrating quietness. Together, many individual contributions will form the HushFest Community Gallery; a community-created exhibition exploring the richness,…
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…
There is something deeply soothing about the simple act of making. The soft sweep of a paintbrush across paper. The scratch of a pencil in a sketchbook. The way a camera lens frames the small details others might miss. Creativity often starts quietly, in moments where the rest of the world falls away and our…

Between a Rock And A Hard Place Have you ever heard the phrase ‘everything can change in an instant’? I realised how true that is a few weeks ago, when an unexpected discovery helped me find a new way to challenge my feelings of anxiety and depression. I had forced myself to go out for…
Writing creatively can be very therapeutic. Research has shown that oral and written storytelling can enrich our spiritual and cultural lives and help us heal from past traumas and abuse. Sometimes people write their own life narrative and their writing is autobiographical in nature. Writing about daily experiences, that is, writing rooted in one’s own…
Finding meaning in words I find a lot of solace and constance in words and the English language. It’s something I’ve always loved, and English was always my favourite subject at school, so much so that I’m studying it at university. I find it so liberating that we have the power to express ourselves in…
We are so pleased to see our first quiet community project come together; because we all have a story, and every one of them deserves to be shared and heard. What you’ll find at the ‘I was, I am, I will be’ exhibition, are the stories of those of us who once preferred to remain…
