The Creative Path

The Creative Path is a project that illuminates the creativity inherent in everyone. Both therapeutic and creative practices are mutually supportive with creativity often playing a crucial role in mental health and wellbeing.

The workshops will help you discover talents you never knew you had, perhaps for writing, painting, music or you may finally get to pursue that idea you have for a business. All that is required of you is a desire and a commitment to prioritise your own needs and wishes for a life you will enjoy. You will learn to focus and set goals for yourself in your personal/professional life. You will acquire techniques on how to put your plan into action. Through this creative process you will familiarise yourself with life-enhancing strategies to integrate into your everyday life.

By the end of the course, you will be more easily identify the things in life that bring you joy and purpose. It will open you up new ideas and ways of looking at yourself and the world around you.

The course is for anyone who craves time out to re-think, re-evaluate and re-invent their lives in a challenging, innovative and fun way. Ursula creates a non-judgemental environment where people feel safe to be themselves.
