Winter Solstice:  Bring in the Light!

Yes the Winter Solstice comes very close to Christmas!  Dec. 21st


A perfect time to take some space to yourself for reflection, a pause, a time to be grateful for the year's wonders and life lessons.  A day to delight in the knowledge that each day will have a little more daylight hours to enjoy.


Join Margaret at her home studio at 4pm Dec. 21st in making a lantern then go for a walk in the neighbourhood to celebrate the changing light!

Create a Mandala that will guide you in 2026


The beginning of a new year is the perfect moment to reflect on last year’s successes, dream into fresh possibilities, and give form to the plans waiting to unfold. What has been calling to you? How might you begin? Questions become pathways in this unique visioning workshop, where ideas bubbling beneath the surface rise into clarity. Through artful exploration, you’ll uncover the steps that lead from intention to empowerment and success.

Paint. Draw. Vision. Create.
