Simply Splendid Productions recognises that we are living and creating on Kaurna land and we acknowledge our respect to the Kaurna people, the traditional owners of the Adelaide Plains.
I am an Australian for Reconciliation and commited to making a contribution to our world becoming a more peaceful and just place during these
challenging times of change and opportunity.
I worked in the area of homelessness and human capacities training for almost 20 years and am a member of Dr Jean Houstons global network of Social Artists. www.jeanhouston.org
As human beings we all share a common need for security and connection, belonging and purpose.
It is in this place of honoring our commonalities that we are able to contribute to the Global Community, rather than experience the separation and disconneciton that we are seeing so much of today.
As children we all loved to play, laugh, share, create and expand...regardless of our culture, race or religion.
Therefore returning to the place of the Child, with the Wisdom of the Adult provides many of the answers that war and violence do not offer.
The answers are within each and every one of us.....there in lays the wisdom of:
"Begin Within"
My Art of Creating C.H.A.N.G.E. and Begin Within programs encourage connection and meaning through the mediums of creativity, story, fun and relaxation based on the Mandorla principle.
The Mandorla is the name of the almond shape that is created when two circles meet.
Within the Mandorla we recognise our commonalities as Human Beings...and the space outside of the Mandorla is where we celebrate our differences and learn from one anothers culture and beliefs.
World Peace does not require building bridges between differences...it is a far simpler process of recognising, strengthening and developing our existing connections.
The Mandala- A Sanskrit word meaning "Circle" , similar in name and meaning to the Mandorla is another powerful tool for expressing and developing Creativity and Connection...
