Tending The Creative Life

Where Art and Rest collide

Tending The Creative Life

It is a crying shame how many people believe in order to live a creative life you mostly need a lot of talent, money and spare time. While all of those things will provide an overwhelming advantage to anyone who has them, it is obviously, not the story as a whole.


What you need to live creatively, is simply to decide it is what you want for yourself, and refuse to take no for an answer.


This season in TDR studio, through movement, rest, meditation and community gatherings we explore this, together.
