“It was incredibly inspirational, a chance not only to learn more about your craft but more about yourself.”
“A journey of growth”
“Excellent program. Another way of sharing faith, a way that I have found so meaningful, genuine to me.”
“Challenging, encouraging, stretching, peaceful, joyful, refreshing. The perfect start to a new year.”
“The beautiful friendly open people were significant to me. I felt connected more than usual, and that my deprived heart has been a bit resuscitated and revived, and my soul is a bit fuller.”
“I came in thinking maybe I would sing songs and stuff, but it was so much more than that. It was an amazing journey, and I loved it!”
“An artistic gathering to create, and discern the spirituality/theology beneath your creativity.”
“I feel so encouraged”
“It has been a week of growth, …Being able to experience such an openness and free and trustworthy space in which to do this has been such a beautiful gift.”

Creative village project
One of the creative projects some of our artsy people have been involved in around the village is a hanging flag banner.
We wanted to find a project that reflected individuals and also gave them an opportunity to be part of an arts project that is visual, positive and fun to be part of! Each triangle is made up of recycled fabric, favorite historic and current fabrics. The community and wider district were invited to choose a fabric, cut out a triangle and write on it something positive to share that will be lasting for people to see each event when we hang it up! Its quite a long thread of flags now, which we will continue to build on and hang for people to see for many years!
