Creativity pure and simple

 

'I highly recommend Michael’s courses, I have a lot of respect for his understanding of what people need in this ambiguous, confusing and complex world.'

Our mountain workshops are for those who are itching to give free rein to there emerging desires to live a more creative life

They workshops kick aside useless inhibitions, sidestep clever notions and well worn strategies. They dive straight splash into the deep pool of your creativity: doing by doing, plunging you into a powerful source of energy, where you'll wonder, at the end of the workshop, why it has taken you so long to get there.

An opportunity to take time away from the constraints of modern life and to breath the mountain air beneath the majestic Monte Vettore. To delight in the peaceful beauty of Cittadella amongst like minded people

 

September 8 to 13 Reunion, for those who have been to previous workshops and can't wait to do another

REDISCOVERING YOUR CREATIVITY

September 15 to 20

With Michael, Jamna Owen and Ruth Dunsby

 

Courageous steps in finding the creative adventurer you've always wanted to be.

 

A workshop which is ideal for those who want to rediscover a treasure though lost, who want to play once again in childhood innocence and abandon any fears that might harbour of expressing themselves in painting and poetry. Our workshops are non judgemental and seek only to foster playfulness, trust and simple enjoyment in the most beautiful environment of Cittadella and amongst friendly and like minded people

 

 

A tantalising weekend workshop which focuses on the wonder of nature and her affinity with art and creativity.

 

Our days. We arise early of a morning before breakfast to stroll down to the pool for Tai Chi or Ci Kung.

Here, it is as if we are floating in the sky, or at least the swallows and house martins might think we are as they swoop down and around us and falcons glide blissfully high up above us.

Staying at Cittadella, you can't help but become absorbed in Nature, and there are places close by amongst these mountains which are somehow sacred by the waterfalls, the gushing streams and rivers, the ancient pathways. And our walks and adventures hereabouts allow us to shed ourselves for a while of the strains and stresses of our lives and to allow our creativity to flourish. We paint, we write poetry, we photograph, and we share our experiences with one another, forming new and lasting bonds in our lives.

 

So who do my workshops attract?  I would say, folks who have some experience, an affinity or just simply a growing desire for creative expression; any type at all – photography, music, writing, sketching, painting, handicrafts, gardening,

 

They would have a love of sharing too and would probably be less rational and more poetic by nature.

 Our intentions are that you come away refreshed, clear and enthused about the next steps in your own personal artist’s journey…And it's a journey of re-discovery and learning how to keep awake in this restless world, awake to the wonder of nature and the necessity of keeping our creative selves alive

                                

 The pool at Cittadella

 

And our objective always is to take you back to your original creative self; to immerse you once more in the magic pool of your precious creativity which has been waiting for your attention for so long. Our programme works wonders and you'll love it! And what's more we give you a tool kit to take away with you so you never lose this gift again
