Clearly recognising what is happening inside us, and observing what we see with an open, kind and loving heart, is what we call Acceptance. If we are holding back from any part of our experience, if our heart shuts out any part of who we are and what we feel, we are inviting fear, anxiety and unworthiness. The creative process is a gateway to presence, which allows space to observe our way of being differently. When we are present and we feel our hearts open it actually feels like we’re coming home to who we truly are - to our deepest potential.
This is an invitation to PAUSE and come into stillness - to breathe deeply, meditate, move gently, declare yourself a learner and immerse yourself in a creative process that will help you gain clarity on what is truly important to you.
Come and re-connect with your true essence, with community and with nature. And most importantly, do this with self-compassion.
Self-Compassion - fierce, fearless compassion - with courage, curiosity and trust in basic goodness helps us to see possibilities we might not have otherwise imagined or ever thought possible.
More About Creative Guiding
In a nurturing environment Karen gently nudges and steers the art-making. She draws on inspiration from nature and its elements, stories, poetry and other stimuli. The emphasis is on the experience of creating, developing and reflecting through the artwork and not on the finished product. An invitation to let go of expectations and be curious about whatever emerges.

Charmaine Horsburgh is a Yoga practitioner who met her teacher, Swami Venkatesananda of Rishikesh, India in the early 1970’s and began a lifelong journey of yoga study, practice and investigation. The culture of learning which Swamiji encouraged has led her to constantly be looking for ways to deepen and inform her own practice and teaching skills. Charmaine now incorporates the cutting edge postural alignment techniques of the Bowspring into the yoga classes that she offers. It has been her great good fortune to learn from, and keep on learning from, the co-founders of this beneficial system, Desi Springer and John Friend.
