Meditative Art - Connect to the Self

Using drawing, painting and crafts come and explore how to connect and express yourself in a creative way.

Meditative Art is a holistic wellbeing course based on the freedom of artistic expression combined with meditation practices to connect body, mind, and soul in a creative way and to support self-discovery.

Dinny

I was born and raised in Italy where I studied Fine Arts graduating as a Graphic Designer and Photographer. After working in an office environment for several years, I started traveling where I continued my personal and professional development to enrich my knowledge towards different artistic and wellbeing disciplines particularly based on self-healing and self-exploration. I deepened my understanding in the native art world and achieved Kāwai Raupapa Certificate in Māori and Indigenous Art. Also, I gained a Health and Wellbeing Certificate as well as Manaaki Tāngata Certificate in Bicultural Social Services in order to contribute to life in support of our community.

On my journey to personal growth, I got in contact with Yoga and decided to dive deeper into this discipline, and attained my Yoga and Meditation Teacher Training Certificates. Both practices amplify my connection with healing modalities highly focused on a holistic strength-based and person-centered approach.

Feedback from previous participants:

“Dinny and Gulia are wonderful hosts. They lead the sessions in such an inclusive and empathetic manner. Their love and passion for humanity is evident and they make each session feel special.”

“Every session was an opportunity to learn more about myself and about finding creative safe ways to express and explore the many emotions inside. It has given me a programme of self care and a way of giving to myself that I had not considered before.”

“I love that you do not need to be arty or creative, that is not the purpose of these sessions, it is the process which matters, the ability to let go of your self critic and to allow yourself to be free to be you.”
