DID
YOU KNOW?

Using
creative self-expression as the primary method to gain insight
is what sets us apart from other personal growth
companies.
Without
needing any skills whatsoever, from your simple
creations you quickly gain clarity and understanding about
your self and your life patterns.
The visual
dimension of SEEING what you are FEELING is the key
ingredient to our ongoing success in supporting people in
their endeavour to improve their lives and relationships.
Seeing
how you feel helps you integrate your experience.
Your personal insights are more available to use in life
- for months and years after the workshop ends.
Here's
what one couple recently said about using creativity
as a means to healing.
"The
images seemed to be more honest expressions of
my perceptions and allowed me to see reasons for some of
my behaviours and behaviour patterns.
"My
partner’s images also allowed me to feel her story
much more deeply than I had heard it and I felt
her emotions very easily and empathically through her images.
We saw how each other has felt and feels at a more visceral
level..."

HEALING
ENVIRONMENT
|
One
of the most delightful aspects of our Toronto self-discovery
programs is the garden in which they take place.
Our East
End studio has an enchanted garden in which to
creatively explore your inner life.
Sit overlooking
the lush sancutary from the deck, from the patio
stones below beneath the pear tree, or in the shady corner
cocooned in the willow nest.
People
love spending the day outdoors as the natural peaceful
surroundings weave its healing magic.
Robins,
Cardinals, Blue Jays, Sparrows and Chickadees sing
along as you discover your true self.
Colourful
flowers sway in the breezes, Japanese iris, fragrant
peony, roses, forget-me-not, bamboo and other grasses cheer
your courage and curiousity.
Original
sculptures by Canadian artists lovingly
collected for years provide sweet inspiration for creativity.
Truly
Madly Deeply Self Discovery Workshops and Relationship Patterns
Workshops take place in the garden, both scheduled in June.

LAILA'S
JOURNAL

MOTHER'S
DAY TRUTH TELLING
It’s
been 20 months since my Mother passed away. For
the most part, I’m fine, glad she’s not sick
anymore.
I was
unprepared for the grief that rose from deep within
me the Friday morning before Mother’s Day weekend.
I missed her so much!
Her favourite
flower, Forget-Me-Not’s, were blooming in
their periwinkle perfection all over my garden.
I did
not follow my impulse to write about and process
my feelings in my journal.
The
next day I was surprised how much it angered me
to see adult women
and their mothers walking about the Wellness Expo in Peterborough...
