the Practice
Here we plant creative seeds of belonging that bloom into watercolour practices across all age groups - gathering online or in person, so we can create, make, enjoy & appreciate a calmer, more ralxed mindful lifestyle
Our flagship mission, "A Garden of Love," was born from a legacy
it stands as a tribute to my Grandmother, who, despite the fog of dementia,
never forgot the names of flowers
With our creative offers we bridge the gap of isolation to deliver
custom-designed floral colouring books,
small knitting projects & Garden Love Letters
​
We created a mail subscription service that facilitates creative practices that become
a "monthly lifeline" of beauty, connection & timeless whimsical wonder
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 -
The mind is sensitive, it needs a place to settle
The body is restless, it needs space to sit down & relax
creativity helps with both
and then there's the heart, it needs a place to belong to
so we created the Practice - a sacred space made for your head, hands & heart
Start where you are, that's the exact place to take a break, rest & reset
this is the freedom mindful creative practices gives you on slow days
​this practice means - time to find your creative spark
-
life becomes easy when we feel less stressed
-
we can let go of the pressure to create
-
there's a way to do the things we used to love, even if it's only for a while​​​
​
a calm practice does this for you
and if where you are feels lonely, our simplified practices become the perfect low commitment for doing more things that feel like they are working for you, like colouring in or reading a letter
Whatever your reason for turning to a quieter life, you are allowed to have a messy table to give expression to what you love to write, draw or paint
"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 than reaching a rigid result - creative sessions - themed for wellbeing, playfulness & enough time allows for the colours to blend into a sanctuary of mindfulness"
- Tanya J. de Wet
