The Lemonade Factory
A creative gathering place and co-creation space
Welcome to The Lemonade Factory - my creative community.
Twice a month, we gather around our virtual campfire to create together. We also host a monthly creative writing circle, and a 24/7 online Lemonade Stall - a chat space to cheerlead, commiserate, and celebrate each other.
Come on in, the lemonade’s just right.

The juice that’s worth the squeeze
No matter where we are in the world, or what’s going on in our everyday, life feels pretty full of lemons at the moment.
Sometimes, we can just squeeze them ourselves and get on with it, but other times, a little sweetness makes all the difference.
After years of navigating my own lemons, like building (and breaking) creative businesses, spending seven years on the road as a travel writer, and navigating my mum’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis while on the other side of the world, I know how hard it can be to go alone.
Through it all, I’ve learned that having dedicated time and a supportive space to create is often the biggest game-changer.
That’s why The Lemonade Factory was born.
What is The Lemonade Factory?
It’s a co-creating space: two hours a month, where you get to show up for your art, without pressure or perfectionism.
It’s a space for experimentation, for squeezing and sampling ideas - alongside other creatives from all over the world doing the same.
I get how tough it can be to set aside time to create. Especially at the moment. Especially alone. That’s where co-creating helps. It removes the stress of starting and makes creating a little act of rebellion against a world that says art is frivolous.
Setting aside time to create is a stand - a way to reclaim energy from the endless scroll and distraction.
Together, we rise, rebel, reclaim, and create.
The Lemonade Stand
This is our community hub - a gathering spot for our creative rebellion.
Each month, we’ll gather together for a writing circle to share our words and wisdom. Plus, our 24/7 chat thread is always open for encouragement, cheerleading, soundboarding, and connection.
It’s a place to celebrate our individual qualities, and the way they can work together to create magic. A place of connection, growth, and creativity.
I truly believe when creatives come together, a special kind of alchemy occurs.
Y’know, like rising lemonade lifts all creatives. Or something.

No obligation, just invitation
Everything here is optional. Come at your own space, do things your way. This is your lemonade lighthouse, a space to dip in and out whenever you need.
There are no wagons here, nothing to fall off when life gets busy - just space to create, connect, and recharge.
With love and lemonade,
