We work with participants of all ages, abilities, identities, cultures 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, and as a single or multi-day event - the choice is yours. We are happy to travel to any location in Victoria to provide our outreach service. Simply provide the venue and we’ll handle the rest. Programs can also take on a variety of delivery formats, depending on their purpose and 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 the same flexibility and freedom when it comes to designing the content of your program. During your free consultation, we’ll take time to listen, ask questions, and explore ideas to get a sense of what you’re looking for. We’ll identify a topic or theme that matters most to guide the content, and from there, put together a proposal and quote to help you visualise the final program - consulting with you in the process to make sure it feels right.

As programs are designed with your unique community in mind, no two are ever the same. We take pride in curating experiences that leave a lasting and memorable impression.

Topics or themes may include, but are not limited to:

• Mental health and wellbeing awareness.

• Mindfulness training, relaxation, and self-compassion.

• Art making for emotional expression and regulation.

• Supporting healthy relationships (e.g., positive friendships, patient-carer or child-parent connections).

• Creating a personal wellbeing toolkit to support important life skills (e.g., in positive mental health, safe and healthy decision-making, authentic leadership, assertiveness, and more).

• Programs celebrating individuality and strengths.

• Programs exploring shared community values and purpose, and understanding shared experiences.

• Stress management and prevention.

• Fostering social connection and belonging within the school, university, or workplace community.

• Navigating transitions, changes and life adjustments with resilience and confidence.

• Creative programs in the spirit of observed annual celebrations, such as International Women's Day, Neurodiversity Celebration Week, R U OK? Day, and more.

• Creative programs to promote a culture of inclusion, fairness, respect and equity.

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.
