We work with participants of all ages, abilities, identities, and walks of life. When we connect, we’ll take the time to learn about your intended audience and the context in which our program will be delivered. It is our priority to craft engaging, relevant and culturally responsive experiences that speak meaningfully to participants no matter where they are in their journey.

Programs can be delivered in person or online, as a single or multi-day event anywhere in Victoria - the choice is yours! Our arts-based programs can be delivered in a range of formats to ensure they best meet the needs of your participants.

Formats include, but are not limited to:

• Workshops

• Interactive talks

• Presentations

• Short courses

• Drop-in/open-studio sessions

• And other unique ways of delivering creative arts experiences.

We offer flexibility and freedom when it comes to creating the content of our programs. During our free consultation, we’ll take time to listen, ask questions, and explore relevant topics or themes to help ground our work in what feels most meaningful and curious to you.

As programs are created with your unique community in mind, no two are ever the same. We take pride in facilitating experiences that leave a lasting and memorable impression, consulting with you throughout the process to make sure everything feels right from the very start.

Topics and themes may be related to:

• mental health

• mindfulness

• stress management;

• wellbeing and life skills

• self-care;

• healthy relationships;

• self-determination;

• conflict resolution;

• cultural diversity;

• respect and equality;

• teamwork and belonging;

• navigating transitions or life adjustments with resilience and confidence;

• and more.

No, our programs are not the same as art classes or even your regular art event. We’re proud to stand out from the crowd, and here’s our point of difference:

• Art classes focus on technical skills and achieving specific outcomes (e.g., a painting) by following a predetermined step-by-step process. What we do instead: We take the pressure off by shifting the focus away from outcomes, and towards the intuitive and embodied process of art making. Our attention to the emotions and sensations underpinning participants’ experiences with the arts allows us to bring them into a place of deeper connection, curiosity, and meaning.

• Art classes are taught by instructors, educators, or artists trained in fine art principles or artistic techniques. What we do instead: Our programs are facilitated by our Masters-qualified and registered Creative Arts Therapist. Our background in psychology along with our clinical experience enables us to offer safe and supportive therapeutic experiences. We bring our unique skill set at the intersection of arts and wellbeing, carefully crafting every program detail to maximise the health benefits of creativity for every participant.

• Art classes encourage mastery of specific techniques, materials, or methodologies. What we do instead: We believe that human creativity cannot be fully captured, let alone expressed, by a single technique, medium, or method alone. By embracing multiple modalities and offering a range of materials to work with, our programs provide a flexible and inclusive form of support that values all forms of creative expression.

While our programs are informed by concepts in Creative Arts Therapy and promote therapeutic experiences with the arts, they themselves do not constitute therapy. It is important to note that we do not directly address individual mental health challenges through our programs. Instead, our programs are designed with an educational focus, seeking to provide meaningful opportunities for learning and social connection.

Nonetheless, a key benefit of our programs being delivered by a fully qualified Arts Therapist is that we have the training in place to notice signs of distress in others. In the rare event that a participant requires further support, we would be well equipped to handle the situation and take prompt action to let the collaborating organisation know, so they can step in and refer the individual appropriately to ensure their safety.

Pricing will vary depending on your requirements, and we can also discuss and work with specific budgets if you have one in mind. Any information you can provide will help us put together a personalised quote tailored to your specific context and needs, so reach out and let’s connect. We look forward to working together.
