Courses, workshops and experiences to empower your creative spirit

 Welcome to my 2023 Creativity Programme! I’m pleased to again be offering workshops and courses in both Kapiti, Wellington and online this year. 

A bit about me: I’m an abstract painter, writer and digital producer. I’m passionate about all aspects of creativity and I incorporates the practice of mindfulness into my signature Mindful Creativity courses. I am also a people leader and over the last fifteen years I’ve led, coached and developed creative professionals in Sydney, Singapore and Wellington. 

I’m passionate about helping others to explore their creative spirit. My courses invite you to explore elements of creativity, leadership, wellness, personal evolution, digital savvy and artistic expression. 

Mindful Creativity

Mindful Creativity: 168 Days of Magic 6-month studio-based course starts 18 March 2023

168 Days of Magic aims to help you achieve a sense of peace, connectedness and wellness. A six-month, studio-based creative journey, the programme gets you writing, doodling, drawing, painting, exploring nature and deepening your connection with your inner self. 

Mindful Creativity – Nourish your Heart, Soul and Imagination: starts 12 October 2023

Connect with your inner voice as you develop your own personal creative practice. Includes practical creative exercises such as doodling, sketching, experimenting with acrylic paints, journaling and reflection activities, as well as intuitive writing and future visioning. The course culminates in the creation of a ‘soul portrait’ to help you capture, and stay connected, to your truest self!

Overcoming Creative Roadblocks

This course is for anyone who needs help finishing a passion project! Are you someone that loves to start new things but has trouble finishing them off? Do you find yourself getting distracted by fresher and more exciting ideas, only to realise that they’re stopping you from completing any of them? And are you getting frustrated with the amount of good ideas piling up that never seem to get out the door? Then this course is for you!

 This course offers a framework to help you realise your creative vision and get your projects across the line – all the way through from concept to creation. What could be more satisfying than competing your passion project and putting a big tick against it? Let’s do this!
