Open Studios.
I have been very keen to expand my therapy practice to include art therapies and to demonstrate to the mainstream public the value of exploring the emotions though individual creativity. Here is a sample of what is on offer at the Open Studio in Gippsland.
It has been quite a daunting task to have my own work on exhibition after so many years, I have been an active therapist and a closet painter.
We are not officially open yet, but already there have been a number of interested visitors and so many people have offered encouragement and support, it is quite uplifting.
The task now is to try to get other artists and therapists interested in opening up their facilities. It is time to demystify the processes of therapy. Moving forward with one’s life and goals doesn’t have to be clinical and laborious. It can be exciting and fun. Therapy is not a treatment it is a pathway to self-discovery.
Here is a glimpse of my garden. 
Putting time and energy into a garden is the same as putting time and energy into the world and making it a better place. Peace be with you.
My wild garden.
Garden therapy is thoroughly recommended.

This work argues that myth is becoming more popular than fact. While the earth is suffering from potentially catastrophic climate change the environment movement has been usurped by a deep green theology that harks back to eighteenth century romanticism.
