"A very rewarding creative learning experience
I recently completed the Mindful Art Training course with Tracey and Mike, and it was a very rewarding creative learning experience. They’ve developed a fantastic program that weaves together fine art skill development with mindful meditation practices that help you drop into a genuine state of flow. What I have learned is that I love learning about new materials and modalities, and respond well to the structure of a class-based environment. I also noticed that beginning with meditation gave me a lot more focus and attunement to the process of learning and making - something I usually struggle with. I’m very glad to have new tools in my toolkit for making and creating. Tracey and Mike are exceptional teachers - supportive, encouraging, compassionate, and attuned to where each of us was in our meditation and artistic journeys. Their generosity with both time and knowledge created an environment in which learning felt expansive. The small class size meant we could work closely with the teachers and also form a little community of emerging artists, which has been a gift. The space itself is calm, beautiful and perfectly set up for deep creative focus. I’m leaving the program feeling inspired and more confident in my skills. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to build a sustainable creative practice. - Ana
"It helped me enjoy being creative again and to make time for myself
"This training really taught me to let go and just let things be. It helped me enjoy being creative again and reminded me to make time for myself, my health and my body. It gave me the space to try something different and to look after myself in ways I hadn’t before. The meditation and yoga have honestly been life-changing. Even the small moments I now give myself to move, stretch, breathe and let go have made such a difference. Art taught me that being creative can relax you while still challenging you. It made me more aware of the power of observation, noticing things I hadn’t seen before and giving myself the time to look a little longer. There’s something really poetic about that because it reflects life in such a simple way - when we take a few extra moments to look at something from a different angle or to really see it, things open up differently and we see things we hadn’t before. Mindful art training that pushes you in the best way, yet makes you feel right at home. I’d highly recommend it if you want to grow your meditation practice and learn art techniques from Tracey and Mike, who really know their craft and love what they do. You’ll learn something about yourself along the way, and the time you invest in yourself here is truly worth it." Meagan
