Workshops
We value creativity & gathering together
We understand there is a creative wellspring in every one of us; when nurtured it guides and supports our emotional and mental wellbeing and offers creative solutions and direction in our life.
Being part of a group can be a valuable experience in a number of different ways that can enhance your wellbeing. We can become isolated by our busy lives and no longer feel a sense of belonging. Whether you are parenting, retired, over worked, lacking a sense of community, value or purpose or just want to have a new experience, it is within a group we often seek it.
Groups can be helpful in a number of ways and we are essentially social mammals who need connection. Creative groups provide a unique way of ‘being’ while in the company of others. As we engage in your own creative process while in the company of others, it enables our authentic selves to come into community and relationship. This can be deeply nourishing, settling and satisfying.

C- Collaboration / Creative

A- Accountability
W- Witnessing
C-SAW (see-saw) also suggests the deep exploratory and often hilariously funny play ground where participants can enjoy freely creating and expressing held in the safety of the group.
The group meets once a month to collaborate using creative methods to find solutions to personal & professional challenges.
Via creative methods and processes one engages in the sacredness of allowing your own experience to guide you. The group aims to support participants to trust their own experience and develop their inner listener. In witnessing, we hold and allow the other’s own journey to be as it is.
‘It has been so wonderful to witness each member creatively discover their deepest truth and then to live this out in their lives in a genuine and ongoing way. We witness each other and support each other during this process.’ - Group participant

It is important that each member takes turns to facilitate and hold sessions. Each member commits to the guiding principles of C-SAW as a way to support everyone’s self inquiry and process.

The use of bilateral movement will support you to find your rhythm and connect to your authentic impulses to move stress and tension from your body and mind, to experience greater presence, stability and space. With drawing materials you will be guided to explore the experience of expansion and contraction, fast and slow, soft and hard gestures in your mark making and within your body. This is a wonderful method to discover and build your internal resources to experience greater capacity, resilience and understand where your choices, preferences and desire lies.

The Nourishment of Clay:
The Felt Sense of Contact and Connection
This workshop will guide you through an exploration of clay and the felt sense (Peter Levin). This process aims to develop the felt sense of touch through the hands and to connect to deeper layers of you and your body. You will be led through a non-verbal mindful process, that will enable you to connect with the earthen, forgiving and yielding clay. You will be supported to find what touch, text, pressure, movement or holding feels nourishing and right for you at any given moment to slowly allow a 3D object to emerge. Reflection of the process will follow to integrate your experience.

Spirit Doll Workshop: Witches
This Witch class will be filled with magical witches, cauldron's and spring blessings.
This is a beginners and intermediate needle felting class, so if you've never needle felted this one is for you. And if you have, a great place to keep learning.
Your spirit doll will be made using beautiful Corriedale wool and silk blends by needle felting techniques. You can choose crystals from a selection provided to embed into your doll. There will also be other beautiful things to place on and inside your doll, such as dried flowers.
This practice of doll making can be a playful sacred experience that allows us to connect with ourselves in a deeper way, setting intentions, manifesting and healing all while sharing and crafting. Making dolls can also be a doorway into connecting with our inner child. Creating space for playfulness, laughter and giggles, joy, imagination, and just having a break from "adulting" for a while.
I welcome you into an all inclusive safe container where you're welcome to come exactly as you're.
Non alcoholic refreshments and nibbles provided. This is a day to pamper yourself, spend time with other people and just rest in some creative space.
Workshop price includes all materials.
