"Taking time for myself with allies & Tanya is both a challenge and wonderful! I love the flow & colours on the paper with watercolours. It will often 'puddle' to my surprize.
I enjoy these practices before the evening dinner or when needing time out.
The different mediums can at times feel confusing, yet it is still a growing in the skills. My biggest challenge perhaps was not starting when classes first began. I am still finding my playing OKAY!"
- Fee
"I love everything about how Tanya shares the mindfulness practices. Her classes are lively, interesting and very relaxing. And I don't need to take anything, it is all provided for me and ready when I get there.
I can unwind my mind, dispel frustrations and release the build up of emotions too. Thanks for being you."

"Stress went away gradually and the old habits were replaced with my long lost hobbies."

It was the playfulness of colour that awakened my emotions and gave way to an expressive side I have not seen in years. It felt so natural, strong, and in harmony with something peaceful."

"Tanya has a simplified methods to incorporate creative mindfulness she refers to as pleasure goals!
I love sketching and its great knowing I can call it a goal."
Mel Kindle shared this in her email to Tanya
"...I was so surpised to learn that I didn't need any experience in any creative fields to benefit from the creative mindful practices you teach Tanya. I could see everything clearly as you showed me everything as I progressed.
And my favourite part was Tanya's gently guidance." ​​
​
We would love this for you too
PJ, one of our senior members shared her journey:
"I started with Tanya to learn how to use watercolours. My colour experience were in fabric, embroidery and quilting. The classes helped us to understand how colour flowed and Tanya related its use also to our personalities and emotions.
She helped me find talents I did not know I had!
She took us into mindfulness and we created journals and diaries to express our inner self. Learning to paint and create pictures, fantasy animals, colour palettes, and abstracts. And all on of the best courses I have ever done. As each individual worked under the same intentions but expectations and results were all so individual."​​​
