“Just wanted to let you know how helpful I’m finding the weekly zoom meetings. With the three manageable goals each week I find that I am showing up for myself despite my own resistance which has always held me back.
It’s good to know that next Monday is coming round and to have that to work towards!
Your support is keeping me accountable to myself and I’m feeling the difference!
I had a very productive morning in the end and have made a recording - not perfect but the aim was to do it and I’ve done it!! Yahhhh”
— Aya Glover“Brilliant idea and wonderful guidance Lizzie!!!
No distraction, just direction and inspired “to get my shit done”
Looking forward to more of it.”
— Verena Stricks“Really enjoyed it last week and definitely felt it helped me have a more constructive week this week. Thank you.”
— Sharon Iacono“A deliciously purposeful way to start a week with simple exercises and permissions to do what you know you want and need for your whole self.
Don’t hurry, don’t worry but there’s no time to lose!”
— Bill“Lizzie holds a magical space on zoom that invites my inner child to come and play.
She oozes creative spirit and enables everyone to access their own creative dream space through practical eyes. I can recommend her highly, no matter the subject she is offering, she is a fabulous leader.”

One hour, what happens?
Monday is an experiment, so the format will probably change over time. To start with, the hour will be divided into six 10-minute segments.
I will lead you through them clearly, with solid boundaries, you will never need to share or show your face but there will be opportunities to write in the chat
Just do it
Once you are ‘in’ we spend the first 10 minutes arriving or creating space (unsubscribe, unfollow, leave whatsapp groups, remove apps, tidy desks, send ‘that’ message, sort bills, empty bins, find a pen and paper, make the bed, have a shower, do a pee, make a cup of tea)
One Great Idea
I share one inspiring idea (for now we are focusing on unhooking from screens, subject will change over the months)that I have learnt about and am applying to my life/business
The Politics of Self Care
We move our bodies, drink water then rest
Dream Huge
We dream, imagine, explore. We will connect with our ‘life’s mission’
Power of 3
We identify and write down 3 ‘non-negotiables’, things that we will commit to doing this week and based on those, we identify and write a list of 3 micro goals for Monday.
Exchange and Networking (and music)
I invite you help make this work sustainable in any way that feels right (e.g. testimonial, sharing the Monday link, donation, buying my art, classes)
This is an invitation not an obligation.
In the final 5 minutes you have the opportunity to network: Share a link to your website or reveal your current obsession in the chat. (moving forward, I will create a networking page in my website for all these links)
The Call will finish at precisely 11 CET
A bit of background
The purpose of Monday is to give me (Lizzie) a way to start my week on track, get on with my projects and create healthy, solid and repeatable habits. I have huge plans, beautiful plans but in order to move them forward I definitely need to get my shit together.
Monday is a gift to myself, a low pressure bit of serious fun and magic making.
At the same time Monday is part of ‘the change’ that is necessary and that is already happening. A movement away from social media, digital burnout and vacuous and lazy AI marketing. A movement towards human to human small community hubs, gift economy, slowing down and prioritising time in nature.
Monday is an online group but the main purpose is to help us to live our lives more off line. Monday is a way for me to explore ways to network and do business that don`t require me to spend time on Facebook and Instagram. Monday will help me to explore ideas and practices that unhook from excessive screen use. Monday is a project that is in English, which is a relief for me as I live in Spain and have to do everything in 2 languages.
I have been leading workshops for 30 years, I love doing it and I am good at it. I have been leading workshops on Zoom for 5 years (Film Medicine, Extra Ordinary Art, Untold Stories, My Wild Nature). I enjoy exploring innovative ways to use Zoom that feel life giving instead of draining. For example my last course, a creative autobiographical writing course, everyone was completely anonymous.
I have designed Monday to run on its own, all you have to do is click on the link at the right time. If you send me private messages or make comments on social media, I probably won’t answer.
The only way to contact me if you need a reply, is by email
I am offering this to everyone with no obligation to pay. If you feel inspired by what I am doing, please help me by sharing a link to Monday with anyone who you think could benefit.
You can share a link to this website page, you can share any of my social media posts or stories, you can add friends to the Monday WhatsApp group(its not a group for chatting, just a place where people can easily access the zoom link and website link, I will also post one weekly reminder in the WhatApp half an hour before the call starts)
I will be there on Monday, come rain or shine. It is my intention that this spreads through word of mouth and grows with minimum effort.
