wollaton arts festival

The first Wollaton Arts Festival was in 2016 with a 4 day event bringing creative arts opportunities to community spaces in Wollaton. We have since built on this to develop further creative experiences for people of all ages, through our Wollaton Art Space and extending the festival to 9 days of activities. We link with the local schools, artists, venues, groups and open spaces to create a diverse programme for all. There are opportunities for people to come together to share food, music, singing, drama, photography and varied creative art activities. We have been lucky enough to work with lots of artists and creative practitioners, as well as local community, culture, nature and heritage groups.

the asylum art gallery ltd studios

"We encourage, enable, develop, mentor, facilitate, empower and support local creative arts practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds." Since our Foundation, in September 2014, we have staged over 120 exhibitions showcasing a varied body of work, by artists both emerging and established. Encompassing a diverse and multi-disciplinary range of artistic practices including: Painting, Sculpture, Printmaking, Illustration, Photography, Sound, Video and Performance Art. A comprehensive list of all of our past exhibitions can be found under 'Portfolio'. Our overarching ‘Philosophy’ is to actively encourage, enable, develop, mentor, facilitate, empower and support local creative arts practitioners from a wide range of background with a priority to engage in discussion around accessibility within the arts in relation to mental health, financial hardship and institutional bias. We have also provided work placements to a number of European students, via the Erasmus + and Gecko programme. Partnering with local Venues, Institutes and schools , we aim to develop a strong community that has access to free space, free mentoring and the ability to grow and learn from each others valuable experience and skills. The spaces are offered for hire and for free depending on the nature of the request and is offered to both emerging artists or collectives that deserve a space to explore and harness potential, or established artists with a strong visual aesthetic. Our initiative is to offer this space first and foremost to west-midlands based artists who wish to strengthen their local artistic community and create a discourse for regeneration. We curate approx one show per month in our two exhibition spaces and these are either from chosen submitted proposals or from exceptional and forward thinking artists that we find on our travels. In-between these exhibitions we encourage groups or collectives with a passion for community welfare and development to use the spaces for poetry , music, discussions, rehearsals , workshops or their own curatorial interests.

sky walkers pack

It has always been all about dogs. My journey started in a local pet rescue centre where in seven years I have probably seen everything: various pet illnesses, serious behavioural issues, rehabilitation and success cases, you name it - I bet I have a story or two about it. Let me tell you a secret, though: once you become a volunteer, it does not take long until you rescue your first dog. I was not an exception and soon enough Beta joined our crazy family. Now, this is the point in the story where I immersed myself into dog training - my dog was far from perfect. It makes me smile now to remember all the chewed leashes, carpets, mom's shoes (it honestly seemed like Beta just enjoyed the expensive ones best). Oh, do not forget leash reactivity, barking at the house and doors shredded to pieces (I'm still convinced she was aiming for a Louvre worth art piece)! A number of dog psychology and training seminars, workshops, classes and courses were where you would have found me during my free time. At the same time, I started my professional dog show handling career and traveled around Europe showing dogs I trained. It was a no brainer what I want to do when I came to Scotland and so Sky Walks Glasgow was born. Two years later I finished my first diploma with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) and kept helping people to become the coolest puppy parents! Dog and girl sitting in the nature What once started as a hobby has grown into this big team of four-legged stars and their humans that just could not fit under the old name anymore. So we grew. It's my pack and we are Sky Walkers! I was never about simply giving you instructions on what to do. If we work together, get your thinking hat ready because we are about to look at the world through your dog's eyes!

Forest School is an inspirational process that has been developing in Scandinavian countries since the 1950’s but only made its way over to Britain in the mid 1990’s. Its basic aim is to connect children and adults with nature whilst supporting their social, emotional and physical development. Forest School sessions provide children and adults the opportunity to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning and play. Activities during Forest School sessions may include shelter building, fire lighting, using tools, outdoor cooking, games and self-led discovery.

lisa butler yoga

Being a dancer from a very early age I experienced a serendipitous moment when I was introduced to yoga at the age of 17 by one of my dance teachers. For me dancing was my lifeline in discovering myself. If I was ever mentally or emotionally challenged my body released whatever it needed to release by moving it. Then yoga came into my life and I loved the way my body and my mind felt during and after the practice. It felt like I was coming home. Back to the source and truth of who and what I am. My unique style of yoga has developed over the years by my love of anatomy and physiology and the way in which the body wants to constantly heal itself. Moving and breathing in our bones enables the tissues and the fluid systems to pulse in an intelligent and healing way connecting us to our own innate wisdom. By tuning in and truly listening to what is going on, our mental, emotional, physical and psychic bodies resonate with mindfulness and clarity. I believe passionately in the power of yoga, it helps us to transcend our limitations and to find increasing freedom in our lives. What I enjoy most about teaching yoga is being able to assist others in their journey within and to help find acceptance and peace no matter where they are in their yoga practice. I am a mother to two beautiful children and we have lived in Somerset for nearly 20 years. I have also worked in the film industry for 25 years and have worked my way up from a runner to a 1st Assistant Director. I love walking in nature with my beautiful dogs and experiencing the wildness of the elements. I am a trained professional dancer & a registered Senior Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance. I am a Satya Prajna teacher with Tias Little from Prajna Yoga. I am also a SUP Yoga (Stand Up Paddleboard) teacher and classes will be coming to Somerset in the very near future.

wild moon wellbeing

I’m Jane, a mother to three wonderful children, from Mid Wales, a fully insured and certified Reiki Master and Energy healer, Shamanic practitioner and lover of the moon, nature, music and dancing! Wild Moon Wellbeing was something that was born several years ago as I was going through my Reiki Master training, with my guides helping to show me a way to bring my work out into the world, to support and empower women. But first I had to begin with myself. I have spent the last decade and more, on a deep exploration of finding different ways to support my family’s and my own wellbeing, taking us from just surviving to thriving. Developing a deeper understanding and connecting to the cycles of nature; the moon, seasons, menstrual cycle and life cycles has been hugely transformative particularly in my relationships, creativity, energy levels and general wellbeing. I love sharing this work and seeing hugely positive impact it has on people’s lives. A mother for over twenty years, and mother of three, I have a broad understanding of the issues that mothers can face today; particularly for parents of children with additional and complex needs. I know the importance of giving mothers space to be heard + seen, to have space to themselves, to recover and adjust and a little time to re-discover who they are again. And also that parenting is ever evolving… just when you think you know what you’re doing, there’s something new to learn just around the corner!

I’m Neemisha Naugah- Energy Healer, Women empowerment Coach and Teacher in London. I’m excited to help you on your journey of healing, awakening and empowerment. My own healing journey started in 2012 after period of the dark night of the soul. I felt lost, depressed and dissatisfied for a number of years.

Determined to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life, I embarked into more Soul searching, inner work, personal development and spiritual growth. As I let go of my limiting beliefs and released my difficult emotions-anger, sadness, shame, fear, hurt and guilt, I felt more empowered and was ready to help and support others on their healing journey. I now know that my personal challenges was a wake up call…a Spiritual awakening. In the healing process, I reclaimed my Power, Purpose, Potential and Passion! Born and brought up in a Hindu family, I understand traditions, rituals and follows spiritual practices as part of my upbringing. Now I live in South London with my husband and children and enjoy yoga, meditation and spending time in Nature.
