Georgina organised a backstage tour at the Clocktower and it looks like it was an exceptional afternoon! She would love to start more classes so send her a message at [email protected]

We may have been a little quiet on here.... because we have been super busy in the studio! A Disco started the year off, followed by our backstage tour of the Clocktower Theatre in Moonee Ponds, where we used our theatre and performance knowledge to get comfortable in a theatre space (check out the photo of on stage below - We had so much FUN!!). AND just this week we have our visit from Lee, our consulting OT. What a great start to the year we have had! How has the start to your year been?

"Grandma how do you deal with pain?"

"With your hands, dear. When you do it with your mind, the pain hardens even more."

“With your hands, grandma?"

"Yes, yes. Our hands are the antennas of our Soul. When you move them by sewing, cooking, painting, touching the earth or sinking them into the earth, they send signals of caring to the deepest part of you and your Soul calms down. This way she doesn't have to send pain anymore to show it.”

"Are hands really that important?"

"Yes my girl. Think of babies: they get to know the world thanks to their touch. When you look at the hands of older people, they tell more about their lives than any other part of the body.

Everything that is made by hand, so it is said, is made with the heart because it really is like this: hands and heart are connected.

Think of lovers: When their hands touch, they love each other in the most sublime way.”

"My hands grandma... how long since I used them like that!"

"Move them my love, start creating with them and everything in you will move. The pain will not pass away. But it will be the best masterpiece. And it won't hurt as much anymore, because you managed to embroider your Essence.”
