Together, Karen and Sarah bring the artspace creative vision to life. Their long-standing partnership is built on deep respect and understanding and this lies at the heart of every workshop, a dynamic that allows for deeper holding and a richer group experience.
Together, they create spaces that feel genuinely safe, attuned and responsive. Their presence as a duo brings an added layer of containment and care that can be felt in the room, enabling participants to drop into the process with greater trust and ease.
Each creative workshop is designed with intention: safe, responsive and deeply attuned from start to finish. Grounded in somatic and psychological principles, they offer more than just insight, they create the conditions for real transformation, reflection and connection.
