Who We Are
ARTea PARTY
Gather round! There is a new place in town for you to explore and have some quality time on your own or with your friends and family! Bring your friends, relatives and let’s draw, paint, chat and get totally absorbed in ART! Art without borders, judgement or prejudice! Just YOU (cup of Tea) and ART!
Feels like the last couple of years have been tough on all of us and the sense of community and togetherness has evaporated into thin air with lots of people being left isolated, frightened and lonely. Here’s where we come in with ARTea PARTY! We provide a safe and friendly environment for all ages to come together and do something fun!
My name is Sabina Dye and I live in Wendover. I am a Yoga Teacher at Happy & Well Yoga and I care about the World We Live in. With the events that happened to us recently and continue to happen, we realise more and more how interconnected we all are and how important it is to be loved and cared for and to be and feel part of the Community and Part of the World. We are all important pieces of a Large Picture called OUR WORLD! And it is Us who create this World with Our Thoughts, Feelings and Actions. I believe that if we can make small changes to the immediate micro-Worlds we live in, then the Whole Bigger Picture will start brightening up! This is where ARTea Party comes in!
I was once invited to my friend's Kitchen Studio. She is a very talented local artist called Fiona Mitchell, who also teaches Art at school. She was the only ‘professional’ at the table. The rest of us were Explorers and Amateurs! And we were very happy to be the ‘unprofessional’ and the ‘uninitiated’ in the realms of Art! We became KIDS, absorbed in Creativity!
There were three of us enjoying a fantastic time just playing with different types of painting mediums - exploring watercolours, acrylics, guash, inks, charcoal and an amazing magical Brusho dry ink, that totally brought out a kid in me with its bursting colours and an unusual way of application! I was totally lost in the New and Amazing World of ART!
As the three of us were painting and chatting in between nibbles and cups of tea, the atmosphere was that of connection and calm, meditation and mindfulness, concentration and content.
It was utterly blissful to be a Creator of something new and unusual, to become a Kid that is totally absorbed in an activity of exploration and creation and to be with friends in a cosy and warm environment. This is what I would like You to experience when You come to one of our Arty Parties that take place every third Thursday evening at the Chilterns MS Centre from 7-9 pm. No experience required! Just bring Your Inner Child with you to have a Fun Time with Friends!
Fiona and I will be supported by our lovely neighbour and Friend Kim Wiseman, who is also the Founder of a WellBeing Company called Full Circle Wellbeing. Kim is passionate about all things Natural, Positive and EnvironMentally Friendly.
Come and meet us, have a chat and a cuppa, draw, paint, explore, meet new people and do something different to brighten up Your Day, Your Mind and Your World!
