What’s on This Month A Mindful Drawing Workshop 25th Jul, 10am-12.30pm, £20/£18/£15
This morning workshop will introduce you to some key skills for observational drawing such as line, ‘negative space’, and tone. However there will be an emphasis on encouraging the spacious mind state that allows your creativity to unfold. The art of drawing allows you to relax into the present moment, letting go of fixed ideas about how things should look or judgements about whether or not your artwork is “good”. Mindful drawing can help us to greater well-being: we feel more creative, more selfaccepting and become less hard on ourselves. Although outcome is less important than process, you will also find yourself drawing much more skilfully and more expressively by the end of the workshop. No previous experience of meditation, mindfulness or art is required.
Soothing Sundays Sundays, 2-5pm, £25
Low cost Holistic, Remedial and Deep Tissue Massage, Shiatsu, Reflexology, and Thai Yoga Massage by newly qualified therapists, located at the Wellbeing Centre in Hamilton House.
Introduction to Creative Art Therapies 4th Jul, 10am-1.30pm, £10
Are you interested in using creative arts therapeutically in healthcare, communities or education?

A space for reflection through the arts.

Come and meet the tutors and sample our approach to experiential teaching.

With everyone getting distracted by Facebook pages, tweeting and a host of other social media platforms, it can be easy to forget email marketing or to dismiss it as being outdated. The trouble is – you’d be wrong. Email marketing is a cost effective way of keeping in touch with existing or previous customers, as well as potential new ones.
