Welcome to PattersonPrenticeDesigns
Hello and Welcome!
We are Elaine Patterson and Karyn Prentice and together we are the award- winning PattersonPrenticeDesigns. We are both international Executive Coaches and Coaching Supervisors, Authors, and lifelong Creatives.
Our work is born in the temenos of our rich creative partnership and our shared love of the arts, nature, creativity, reflection and writing. Together we design and host soulful and heartbased programmes, webinars and retreats both on line and in beautiful locations.
Our work is grounded in the philosophy of our books "Homecomings: 52 Ways Back to Ourselves", "Our Humanity @ Work", “Reflect to Create! The Dance of Reflection for Creative Leadership, Professional Practice and Supervision” with its accompanying workbook by Elaine, and “Nature’s Way - Designing the Life You Want Through the Lens of Nature and the Five Seasons” by Karyn.
What we host…
"...A safe harbour to evoke exploration and discover insight, promote reflection, encourage emergence & savour life. A true community of like-minded souls coming together to marvel at the vast imagination that is possible in the world. For those who want to connect deeply, … a temenos where openness and trust moves you into a bigger creativity and a richer deeper engagement with life. A place of homecoming for those who seek a resonant and vibrant life where together we travel in a spiral cultivating and dancing from the surface to depth and back again and experience the excitement and peace and unconditional love where we can be in service to each other without condition or judgement and know that we are not alone. A vast tapestry and confluence of colours, textures, minds, hearts, and souls …. offering a sanctuary where we can re-Source ourselves to re-Vitalise ourselves and our work in the world..."

“BRIDGING THE UNKNOWN” : From Role Work to Soul Calling in Later Life.
Please do join us for our 9-month programme called “BRIDGING THE UNKNOWN” : From Role Work to Soul Calling in Later Life. “Bridging the Unknown” is an immersive contemplative on-line retreat on Zoom, which is as creative and exploratory, as it is experiential and experimental. In our new programme, we are responding to what we see as the invitation for each of us as we enter later life to ‘cross the bridge’ and move away from being so defined by ‘our multiple roles or jobs’ to honour the deeper yearnings of our soul for perhaps gentler but more profound ways of doing and being in the world. As we move into the late summer or autumn of our lives, we start to imperceptibly notice that our priorities, our relationships, our energies, and our interests – as well as our bodies-are subtlety changing. We can sense that we are being beckoned into a new terrain which can be as disorientating as it feels, tinged with hints of wonder and excitement. We believe that working with these evolving questions requires a different preparation to hold this precious – and often uncomfortable and sometimes taboo - space for ourselves as well as for others. We will explore what we have defined as nine key touchstones to bridge the unknown through an eclectic blend of music, poetry, art, mindfulness, creative invitations, reflective writing and deep conversations in a mix of 6 webinars and 3 longer retreat days across the 9-month programme.
So, the question arises: how do you want to RSVP to your later-life invitation?
For more information, please see our attached dates flyer and our longer more detailed brochure...
