Here we plant creative seeds of belonging that bloom into practices across all ages
we gather as members online or in person
we create, make, enjoy & appreciate a calmer mind
and together we experience a more relaxed mindful lifestyle
A Garden of Love was born from a legacy - A creative tribute to my Granny Maggie, who, despite the fog of dementia,
never forgot the names of flowers & Granny Desire who enjoyed making everything from food to tablecloths
With our creativity we'll bridge the gap of isolation, overwhelm & stress to share our floral colouring books,
our cute Little Lamb knitting projects & the beautiful collections of Garden Love Letters
For those who enjoy a more tangible way to create, we made our previously secret mail subscription service open to you - not only to facilitate your creative practices & to send you a monthly lifeline of beautiful ephemera... it was also created for real connection between humans as a timeless piece of whimsical floral wonder you can collect
our mindful practices calms the nervous system & builds creativity as an analog activity
- from mixing colours that help to settle a busy mind to feeling the eases roll in as we create together -
At times the mind is sensitive, it needs a place to settle
At times the body is restless, it needs space to sit down & relax
creativity helps with both
and when the heart feels alone, it needs a place of belonging
so we created the Practice - a sacred space made for your head, hands & heart
from masterclasses to the freedom to be selective - there's a mindful creative practice for you
Start where you are, that is the exact place to take a break, rest your mind & reset
-
life becomes easy when we feel less stressed
-
we can let go of the pressure when we lean into something creative
-
there's a way to do these things so we can fall in love with life again
a guided practice with printable resources does this for those seeking peace
and if where you are feels lonely, there's community, connection, simplified practices with Tanya as she shows up with commitment that feels reliable, safe & sacred
Whatever your reason for turning to a quiet moment, life brought you here
"I love watching you make a page come to life Tanya, you really make it look so accessible. And you know what; when I try it in my sketchbook I hear your voice guiding me - calming my worries and helping me settle in at the end of the day. I finally realised the pages in my sketchbook was for my healing, not for the world to judge!"
- Angela Hughes
we made it as simple as watching a video & talking to a friend
the real pleasure happens when you let the watercolours play & allow yourself to rediscover creativity
"Its more about enjoying the flowing nature of the practice, its resources, finding a creative session to try & tuning into themed wellbeing in a sanctuary of mindfulness"
- Tanya J. de Wet
