PLAYFULNESS
OF PAINTING
The joy of painting--easily!
Learn painting easily--
where there is no such thing as a mistake! In an open space
of an artist's gallery at Serenity by the Sea you will learn spontaneously
as a child does. You will regain the joy that a child has, responding
naturally to line, texture, colour and shapes. Sourrounded by the
magical natural world of forest and sea, you will delight in the flow of line
and colour from your own hand, releasing the source of
your own creative passion and learning ways to express it.
Led by Shera
Street whose infectious creativity touches the lives of all
who meet her, this workshop
is about doing--wiith brush in hand--and learning as you
go! Learn about quality papers, brushes and colours by using
them. All materials supplied.
Whatever
your skill level you will discover new possibilities for expanding
your ability. Training not required.

from your most ruthless critic--yourself.

DESIGN
DESIGN YOUR
DREAM HOME
You are the only expert
in what you want!
Are you planning a
new home? Put yourself in the centre of a design approach that
will help you articulate what you want, a process that will help
you put reason and purpose to your design, far beyond anything that
may be available in blueprint catalogues.
During the Design Your
Dream Home program, our intention is to help you examine what you
need in the place you call home to best support and nurture you,
with all your many expressions--social, creative, personal, spiritual,
emotional, lover, learner.
Serenity by the Sea
is a remarkable home that has captured the imagination of many who
have visited here. Architects and carpenters over the years have
been fascinated by the many original ideas and designs we incorporated
into our home. You will be able to explore through the many different
rooms here, so you can feel the impact of the different spaces--how
they can be altered to nurture you, expand you and meet your unique
needs.
During this time you
will be encouraged to take note of all you discover and all you
learn, to test ideas and start sketching plans. The wide range of
perspectives and approaches that you encounter here can help you
save thousands of dollars later--and you will gain a clarity that
will empower you in any future work you may have with designers, architects
and builders.
