Scared Geometry
This class is a practical and theory-based Introduction to Geometry and Sacred Art around the world exploring our relationship with nature, the cosmos, human creativity and potential. Together we will draw upon Archetypal Forms.
The Circle, Spiral, Triangle and Square channelling their mystical qualities and profound nature.
Geometry occurs in the art and crafts of cultures throughout human history, directly inspired by the rhythms and structures of life itself. Its principles are beyond time and place.
In this workshop participants will investigate principles of symmetry and tessellation.
These universal principles govern growth and structure and are found in both crystalline and botanical nature.
We will discuss geometry in symbology and the planetary movements, the platonic solids theorised upon by Plato, Leonardo Divinci and Joseph Kepler
and examine the key family of natural proportions.
No skills are required
Open to entry level and advanced geometers
All materials are provided
$150 pp

Love Notes ~
“I have always thought & believed art should be offered and accessible to everyone, it's not about grades, technique. it's about self-expression. Visual art is extremely therapeutic, euphoric and joyful. I have been experimenting with the concept of Mandalas and how process art offers something that is not too scary; it feels more free and safe. As soon as a feeling of trust takes over, people respond with powerful unique creations. Their minds unfold rapidly, reflecting and shedding the chatter along with their personality and current emotional state …Someone once said that The mind is a good servant but a bad master; Humans are so tied up in our minds we tend to lose our senses. By collaborating with art and nature, we gift our senses the time and space to listen."
"Essentially - the point can’t be explained in words because art is not words - but after a while, you will understand the point
and that point will be the art itself."

Create Space Art Therapy
'Explore your inner world!
Create Space Art Therapy provides mental health support for children and adolescence. We use the power of creative processes (drawing, writing, sculpting, drama, clay, sand, painting and movement) in the context of a therapeutic relationship to support healing, change and growth.
This process facilitates the exploration of feelings, in order to improve self-awareness, and offers
a way to witness thoughts and emotions that may be difficult for young people to articulate.
About Rebekah
Rebekah (she/her) is a Registered Art Therapist (AThR) with over 7 years experience working with adolescence and children to assist them in managing a wide array of challenges,
both in group and one on one contexts. Rebekah’s passion is working to support young people with issues involving mental health, emotion regulation and anger management, physical and mental disabilities, engagement with education, self-esteem, ASD, trauma, as well as working with at-risk or extremely vulnerable youth.
Rebekah has completed a Master’s in Art Therapy and training in Interplay Play Therapy, with skills in mental health psychotherapy and counselling, and incorporates elements of these into her work.
Her work is trauma-informed and client-centred. Rebekah promotes a safe environment for all and welcomes those who are gender diverse, culturally diverse and neuro-divergent.
Rebekah is passionate about art as self-exploration, and self-expression. She encourages young people to delve into their inner world and to find ways to express it outwardly in order to address and process what is happening for them. She has seen the power that art can have in healing, and developing an understanding of identity, acceptance and self-love.
Rebekah values the importance of supporting young people to build an understanding of themselves and their needs, and having the individual lead that process.
Rebekah integrates Play Therapy and counselling skills into the Art Therapy space, and encourages young people to express and explore their inner thoughts however feels comfortable for them, whether through art, play, writing, or music.
NDIS Clients welcome.'
