The story behind the making of the book

Lockdown Made Me Do It is a collaborative book project sharing the experiences, hopes and fears of the Mindful Therapies community.

‘This book was inspired by the Covid19 pandemic of 2020. We set up a Facebook group called Mindful Therapies Mindful Communities to help people to support one another and share their experiences of lockdown. We also delivered a range of live mindfulness classes. Every week I would post a question to the group and create a poem – or a series of poems inspired by the responses. In a short amount of time we had enough to fill a book! So I thought ‘why not?!’

The project kept growing. We have also produced an accompanying CD with guided meditations and poems read by the contributors! I am so inspired by our community and I can’t wait to share the book with you.’
