~ Discover &
Explore Creative Interests ~
In my personal
experience, I have long believed that I have a choice - I can
seek therapy or indulge in art. I choose ART - time spent
in my studio IS my therapy; it calms and restores my soul! Being
raised in an environment that encouraged creative pursuits, I
discovered very early on the deep benefits of the creative
process for establishing balance, peace, calm, happiness and a
connection with one's inner wisdom. My life is far more
enriched and rewarding because of these pursuits.
In our work with individuals in
career transition or with those considering retirement, we have
found an astonishing number of individuals who have never
considered or pursued interests outside their work. Often our
professional careers are so time consuming that very little has
been left to cultivate personal interests and /or hobbies. With
this in mind, we provide opportunities for individuals to
explore a number of creative outlets in a quiet, country
environment. Come visit our rural studio and choose from
hand-built pottery, ceramic painting, glass bead making,
jewellery making,
crocheting or blacksmithing. Participants spend a full or half
day discovering the medium of their choice. These are hands-on,
one-on-one to three-on-one guided sessions designed to provide
an opportunity to “try out” a new craft. Time will also be spent
sharing resources and local offerings for further exploration
after our time together. Bring a friend or two on a mini-retreat
and get to know your creative side….and yes, you DO have one!
