Episode 2: Stretch & Sketch

While art and yoga may not immediately seem like the most obvious match, what truly connects Emma and Caroline—the two facilitators that together form collaborative events duo Stretch & Sketch—are their philosophically similar approaches to what can often prove pressure-riddled practices, both far less focused on perfection—be that in physical form or artistic technique—than on simple self-expression.

Promoting mindfulness over mastery, and with nature as their mentor and muse, the pair are perhaps best known for their consistently popular pop-up sessions, though recent years have seen them turn their hand to hosting longer residential retreats as well, where they gently guide their guests towards deeper self-connection still.

For this episode, they join me to talk more about the beginnings of Stretch & Sketch, the importance of making space for stillness, and the vulnerability required to be creative—and to create real connections.
