Hello and welcome, I am Niroshni, founder of the Living Art Club.
Living Art was inspired by my personal transformation through creativity. Through sewing my wardrobe, writing poetry, journalling, painting and sketching; my life slowed down and became more meaningful. I had the time to observe my world, connect with nature, increase my self-awareness and reassess my priorities. My artistic creations brought me inner harmony, balance and personal growth. Slowly, I gravitated to homesteading and found peace in my sanctuary. Finally I was able to shift from my 20-year corporate career to the creative lifestyle that I had always longed for.
Now, I help people wanting a similar transformation in their life - a more meaningful, creative, and peaceful life. I help spark creativity through workshops, allowing you to slow down and at the same time learn a fun and meaningful, lifelong skill.
I have been sewing since age 7. In 2009, I completed a Pattern making and sewing course for fashion designers to improve my skills and techniques.
In 2020, I completed my Life Coaching Course with the Beautiful You Coaching Academy. This, together with my corporate skills, love for nature (Environmental Scientist since 2007), creative skills, and passion for spirituality shaped the Living Art Club.
I hope you will join us in our soothing, relaxed, fun social space to learn/practice your craft with like-minded people. We host inspiring classes to help you get present, and connected to the healing power of your creativity.
We are all a tapestry of colourful threads weaving a beautiful story. May you remember your divinity, the inner Creator and be free!
May you be in peace, with love
Niroshni Sataya
