The physical studio was designed by owner Cynthia Bartolo in 2016 when the original brick stables had to be demolished. With a love of natural materials and spaces, she created a calming space and garden to promote calm for her family and visitors.
The space is decorated using soft, muted colours and natural materials, with ample natural light. The surrounding garden and water feature provide soothing sounds, scents and textures that flow into the studio via large bi-fold doors.
Every aspect of the design has been researched to ensure that the space can welcome visitors who are highly sensitive to their environment. Careful consideration has been given to aspects such as the VOC content of paints, colours and lighting. On a spiritual and energetic level, the space was blessed both before and after its construction, including a traditional smoking ceremony by an Aboriginal Elder.
The result is a special or ‘sacred’ space inviting visitors to allow their senses to rest, reconnect with nature – and ultimately to themselves. You are most welcome to leave the over-stimulation of the modern environment behind as you step into the garden and studio for a group or workshop.
