- The relationship between self-compassion practices and creativity according to Chetna's experience
- The pillars of mindful self-compassion according to Kristin Neff and Chris Germer (mindfulness, self-kindness and common humanity)
- Mindfulness in creative practice with our critical inner voices, the systemic and colonial influences on our relationship to creativity, and the ways in which creativity exists all around us
- Self-kindness and how it can show up in creative practice
- Austin's perspective on the power of supportive community and space-making
- Our common humanity of egos, inner critics, trauma and inherent creativity

Questions for reflection:
- What are the egoic, critical and colonial voices telling you in your creative practice? Where do you feel it in your body?
- What does your kind and compassionate voices tell you? How does it land in your body?
