Basic values & philosophy

Philosophy – art and nature.

•Nature has been a source of knowledge, inspiration and enjoyment for everyone through the ages, and has allways inspired art in many forms.

•We are all capable of being ”artists”. Creativity through art is a way of expressing ourselves, gaining confidence and leading a more fulfilling live. To be creative is a basic human need.

•Our high stress urban lifestyles get in the way of many people seeing and experiencing the value of being better connected to nature. And most people never get the chance to see how being creative themselves, rather than looking at other people’s art, can  improve their self-esteem and enjoyment.

• Learning new artistic skills and gaining inspiration from nature will give our guests the chance to lead more fulfilling lives and help progress to a more sustainable society.

Philosophy – individual sustainability.

•Human society all over the world faces major environmental challenges.

•There is urgent need for us all to live our lives differently, more sustainably.

•We believe that individuals can lead more sustainable and more fulfilling lives, when they experience the connection between nature and their own well-being.

•We believe that personal creativity is an excellent way of experiencing that connection.
