About Us

We are neurodivergent folks who created a unique welcoming space for those looking for something a little different.  We offer mentoring and support in life skills and creative arts for all ages, with a focus on being flexible and chill and doing things at your own pace, in your own way.   

Connecting through Creative Arts

We dabble in music, art, drumming, sewing, fibre arts, cooking, woodworking and gardening. We believe in tea breaks and time to daydream in the hammock - it's all part of the creative process.
