Boundaries: Walled Garden visualisation + creative exercise [1 April 2025]

Just as our garden needs tending and some loving attention, so to do our boundaries - protecting what nourishes us and clearing what no longer serves.

For this exercise, you might like to have to hand:
:: paper, coloured pencils or pens, or a digital drawing tool (such as a tablet) ready

  • Listen to the visualisation (to the right of this text), and then keep your eyes closed for an extra minute after the visualisation has come to a close, and notice any emotions, images, or messages that came from your garden
  • Next, sketch out (or write about) your personal boundary garden, based on what you experienced in the visualisation.

This might include:  

🌳 trees or flowers - representing what you wish to nurture

🏡 a shelter - representing safety and self-care

🚪 a gate - representing what you allow in, or keep out

🛤 pathways - showing connections to others

🌾 overgrown areas - representing where you may need stronger boundaries

As an alternative for non-drawers: jot down a short description or list of what was inside/outside your garden

Reflections and prompts

  • What stood out to you about your garden?
  • Was anything surprising?
  • What did you notice about your garden?
  • Was there a particular area that needed tending? 
  • What does your gate represent?
  • Who or what do you want to invite in, and what do you wish to keep out?
  • What small step can you take this week to strengthen and/or nurture your personal boundaries?
