Description
Unleash your creativity and revel in a collective experience of wellbeing.
Held in the studio and garden, these workshops may be treated as one offs or as an ongoing series of stepping stones in the journey of a process artist. In a small group we will partake in a series of listening, making, reflecting and sharing exercises. Engaging with the natural and material world, we will relax and do the work of play: enjoy inhabiting the luminous, liminal space that opens up when we are creative together.
These workshops are suitable for:
- those who wish to explore what truths emerge via immersion in non-verbal language
- those who are looking for a more socially connected side to their solo creative endeavours
Only requirement is a willingness to share the experience.
Booking may be made by purchasing a ticket or by contacting Lindsay to arrange part payment in local exchange

Organised by
Lindsay is an Edinburgh based Focusing Practitioner, artist & workshop facilitator. Collaborative practice is the keystone of Lindsay's work.
Qualifications: With qualifications in Human Geography from the University of Edinburgh, Drawing and Painting from the Open College of the Arts, and Relaxation Therapy from Stonebridge Associated Colleges, Lindsay applied all her learning into transformation of her Glasgow Caledonian University Postgraduate Diploma in Art Therapy into workshops which support people living with their feet on the ground.
In recent years Lindsay has widened and her knowledge base with studies in Creative Journeying from a Person Centered Perspective (The Bield at Blackruthven), U.Lab (MIT) and Existential Person Centered Counselling from an Experiential Perspective (Ku Leuven University). Most relevantly, she deepens her practice with the skill of Focusing which she first learned in 2014 with the British Focusing Association and, during lockdown, trained with the International Focusing Institute to the level of Focusing Practitioner.
Experiences: Lindsay has now been hosting Creativity for Wellbeing workshops, more or less intensely, for the last 8 years. The workshops have involved co-creative exchanges in which a process of mutual, co-operative enrichment invites everybody present to take what they need from the shared time together. Lindsay has benefitted from her inevitable attendance at these workshops, and the way in which the collective pool of creativity inspires the unfolding of new directions.
Motivations: Lindsay's practice is motivated by her desire to uncover, explore and share unspoken truths. There is a strong respect for the embodied nature of language and a keen appreciation of our material, spatial, environmental embodiment. Lindsay respects multiplicity and seeks to amplify the power of each and every person's sharing of their unique vision as vital to a healthy collective.
