Our Current Offerings
Time to reclaim the name! Rediscover feminine power and connect with the wild woman psyche, a 5-week creative journey exploring witches.
Witches who cast charms or incantations to enchant or enthrall propelled early modern fears of witches destroying communities. Were they really conjuring evil in a coulron? Or were they just making a tasty brew and feeding the family?
The impact of the witch trials lives on to this day, it evoked a fear in women, robbing us of our very inate power as women to chant, to be connected with nature, spirit and creativity. This series is a reclaimation of lost traditions, a rediscovering of female spirit through creativity and and exploration of the concept of the 'witch'.
Jungian psychoanalysts use the 'unconscious collective' to refer to a set of archetypes that we all resonate with but as our world grows increasingly larger and more complex these archetypes evolve and change. This is your chance to explore the archetypes, symbols and meanings that are important to you.
Create your own set of archetypes with an intimate 6 week course where we provide all the materials and guidance you need!
There are no skills required and you will be able to explore a variety of mediums, such as watercolour, collage, paints, gouache, beading, felt and more with full guidance from our trained artist facilitators.
