Tapestry of Whole Hearted Creativity”
A Virtual 12 month Inquiry to re-Source You and re-Vitalise your Professional Life
A new EMCC Global Quality Award Level 5 Bespoke Accredited Practitioner Diploma Programme from PattersonPrentice Designs
Extract from Judy Brown’s poem 'Retreat’
Join us for a year long beautifully curated journey where you can cultivate and choreograph the essence of your own whole hearted creativity into a rich tapestry which will both re-Source you and re-Vitalise your professional practice in this new Global Diploma on-line programme.
You will journey in community with like-minded professionals as we weave the threads of six creative thresholds of any creative journey into your own new ‘tapestries’ of being and doing - and which is brought alive as you work on your own creative project. Together we will share in the surprises, delights and challenges as you encounter and explore the ebbs and flows, the warp and weft, and the depth, source and breadth of your own unique innate creativity and potency, so that you can bring new and fresh energy and agency into your own life and into your professional practice.
Sandra Day O'Connor
Because HOW you choose to journey is WHO you become, shaping WHAT you can create! …and because it takes a community to weave the multi-coloured threads of the tapestry of life.

“BRIDGING THE UNKNOWN”: From Role Work to Soul Calling in Later Life
An international virtual programme from PattersonPrenticeDesigns.
“Bridging the Unknown” is a contemplative retreat-style programme, which is as creative, and exploratory, as it is experiential and experimental. In this we are responding to what we see as the invitation for each of us as we enter later life to move away from being defined by ‘our multiple roles or jobs’ to respond to the yearnings of our soul for perhaps gentler and more profound ways of being in the world.
Using the metaphor of a bridge we cross from known territory to new land. The bridge spans nine rich interlaced metaphorical touchstones of personal and shared inquiry which sit within three overarching thresholds. Each touchstone will help you to build your own bridge from one side of the riverbank to the other as we work. Each touchstone will be brought alive by its own Workbook, and enlivened with reading and podcast suggestions, music, art, craft, and creative reflective and nature practices, deep dive conversations and 1:1 bridge making conversations with Faculty. For more information please click here for our full brochure.
Our Portfolio of Masterclasses, Retreat Days Webinars, and Workshops include the following:

Introducing “Our Humanity@Work”
Working with the 7Cs – the 7 Human Capacities – for Insight, Learning and Change A New Lens for Coaching, Supervision and Executive Reflection
The 7Cs for “Our Humanity@Work” is a new lens for coaching, coaching supervision and executive reflection, which has been designed by Elaine and developed by PattersonPrentice Designs. Learning to work with the new lens is offered through a suite of webinars, supervisions and masterclasses. The Reflective Journal and Workbook is published in English and French - and coming soon in Portugese.
Beyond the practical, technical and rational the 7C’s live in the ever present field of our shared humanity. The 7C’s are our innate human capacities for Care, Courage, Curiosity, Connection, Compassion, Creativity and Contemplation which - when we invite them in - can create the space – and the added value - in which we can all learn to flourish in our VUCA world. The 7Cs have been road tested in an action research project at Guys and St Thomas’ Foundation Hospital in London and with coaches and coaching supervisors across the world. The article describing how the 7C’s work won the Highly Commended Award in the 2019 Coaching@Work Best Article Category.
