Gabbi Kitchener
Hi, I'm Gabbi and I'm delighted to invite you to join me and continue this creative adventure.
I am an artist and enjoy working in an intuitive and spontaneous way.
For almost 20 years, I have been teaching children & adults, supporting them to connect to their own creativity and artistic freedom. I have worked with thousands of people and have witnessed their personal transformations.
My personal creative journey has been an awakening and deepening of perception and sensitivity. I'm delighted by the moments, glimpses, of being in an altered state, meditative and dreamy... I love that mysterious feeling.
I strive to create an environment that will support each participant and their unique process.
My intention is to be completely open and to freely spread the positive effect that living creatively can have on us.
I truly believe that every one of us is a creative being. Nourishing and nurturing this in ourselves can enhance our lives and those around us.
