We plant creative seeds of belonging that bloom across interests, practices & age groups
With group collaborations, creativity, art, mindfulness & purpose
this sacred place awaits you as a living archive of colour for an extended happy life
Creative practices is the restorative power of legacy & mindfulness - it's always rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to be seen, supported & remembered
Our flagship mission, "A Garden of Love," was born from a deeply personal legacy that now 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 a gap of isolation by delivering custom-designed floral colouring books, small group workshops, snail-mail subscriptions, letter sets & facilitate unconditional love as a "monthly lifeline" of beauty, connection & timeless childhood stories
Calming the central nervous system with an analog activity like mixing colours settles a busy mind, eases life's stressors for those unable to connect through a digital world
All you'll need a little space, a flower or two picked from a garden & the creative ideas we'll share with you
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
And so we created the Practice - a sacred space made for your head, hands & heart to reconnect with yourself again
Start where you are,
there's rest & reset here for you
you'll find your way around to feel a little more confident today - building on what you remember to love right now, we can always create more connection later​​...
this is the freedom mindful creative practices gives you on slow days
​this practice means - time to find your creative spark in good company
-
life becomes easy when creativity works to feel less stressful
-
when we can let go of the pressure to create with an outcome
-
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, there's calm & mindfulness here...​ a place where your mind can release stuff & give you a reason to come to your table to write, draw or create because that feels right
Messy tables are normal as we keep warm, create inspiring things & invite in moments of joy - you & your loved ones deserve a break at least once a day & a return to creativity can ease both
We made it as simple as watching a video & talking to a friend
and the real pleasure... well, that happens when you decide to create with me - not anything spectacular, just a little something gentle
"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!"

"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"
