GATHERINGS

Gatherings

/ˈɡaðərɪŋz/

Spaces to come back to yourself on the page and in the life around it.

Inside this coffee shop, the gatherings are where the work comes to life.

At Coffee With Ella you’ll find…

Here you’ll find… Intimate gatherings where you get to return to yourself, think differently, and write as if no one is watching. The podcast where you get to listen in on conversations with women like you who are living a creative life in real time. And the bookshelf — filled with dog-eared pages, scribbles in the margins and exclaimation-marked paragraphs.

There's always a strong brew to sip alongside what's emerging, and know this: you don’t have to have it all figured out before you arrive. You just have to come in and pull up a seat.

My gatherings centre around a creative life — not just in what you create but as something you live on an ordinary Tuesday.

Play and remember

Follow the breadcrumbs

Try things on

Notice how
it feels

Make it your own

So that you can live — and share — your creative life on your terms.

Gather With Me:

The Espresso Collective

A monthly writers’ salon and the table we return to each month to tend to our creativity alongside other women writers of colour.

The Pour Over

A slower, more intentional brew shared in community, guiding you through my creative process.

1:1 Private Sessions

A stronger kind of blend where we wake up, and quite literally smell the coffee, to look at what’s really in the way of your creative life.

Retreats

Currently being dreamed up so we can step out of the everyday and into a space where your creative life gets your full attention.

Reflections

I left every session feeling heard, understood and challenged. A wonderful transformative experience.

(1:1 Private Session)
I was hoping to learn how to write but I left feeling confident that I already knew how to write. I’m motivated to start and complete my writing projects.

(The Pour Over)
“My energy and drive have started coming back and I feel much more like myself again.”

(The Espresso Collective)
Go for it! Working with Ella (and the other guest teachers) has truly been life-changing.

(The Pour Over)
This shift in my mindset, has led me to pursue my career from a place of peace, abundance and assurance. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. — E., Lecturer & Facilitator (US)

(The Pour Over)
“You reminded me that being perfect is unattainable and helped me realise that my best is more than good enough.”

(The Espresso Collective)
