OUR APPROACH
Connect with your creativity, make life better.
Our ethos is ‘self-care is not selfish’…
Our founding principle is ‘creativity makes lives better’.
We’re all born creative
Sadly, some of us get it squashed at a young age. All is not lost! That creativity stays within us. It is a fundamental part of our individual human make-up. We can help you reconnect to yours, embrace your uniqueness and live more fully, at home and at work.
Community Matters
We are a Community Interest Company. Our profits are used to provide lo/no-cost support to the Changemaker community. Changemakers are people who work to make the world a better place. By buying from us, you are helping us to help them carry on doing their good work.
Future plans
The idea for the Academy of Wide-hearted Living CIC came from a desire to share our wonder at the power of creativity and the wisdom it brings. Right now, we do this through our courses.
As we develop, we plan to expand with a membership model, building a network of women-led creative businesses. We want a world where everyone believes that being creative makes life better.
Your Creative Toolkit
We have created a ‘toolkit’ of quizzes, activities, tips and practices that you can use whenever you need help, whether it be with motivation, prioritising what is important or learning how to improve your wellbeing, one step at a time.
Life is a Rollercoaster
Our mood changes all through the day as we react to what is happening in and around us. Some things can affect us positively and some can have a negative affect and some things are just out of our control. Our toolkit will help you find ways to use creativity to help us process the day’s events, to give ourselves a boost or to soothe a troubled mind.
What’s in the Toolkit?
Everyone who does one of our courses gets access to the toolkit.
Our creative toolkit is full of things that will help you get focussed on what is important to you and what you can do to make the changes you want to make. The toolkit includes:
– self-assessment quizzes
– tips on movement and breathing
– meditation for a less busy brain
– writing things down and storycrafting
– doodling and drawing and letting go of the idea that you can’t do it
– shushing your inner critic to unlock creative potential
Why Work With Us?
We are a community interest company. Our profits are used to help the Changemaker community.
What is a Changemaker?
A Changemaker is someone who wants to make their world a better place. It’s someone who regardless of background or circumstance wants to change themselves and their environment in order to live a healthier, happier, more fulfilling life.
