Hello wonderful creative friend!
Welcome to the 5 day replay of the very first Life Book Creativity & Wellbeing Summit! On this Summit I have interviewed a range of Life Book 2019 artist teachers and chatted about creativity & wellbeing amongst other things! Not only that, each teacher has prepared an inspiring Summit Activity especially for you! These activities are intended to get your creative juices flowing and will put you in touch with the amazing healing power of your own creativity!
I’m really excited to be running this summit for the very first time. I have LOVED chatting to all the Life Book 2019 teachers and look forward to sharing all the interviews and activities with you!

A Conversation with Melanie Rivers
“I like to ask myself: How can I really look after myself today, and how can I really look after others, today”
– Melanie Rivers
Enjoy Melanie’s Summit Activity: Ancient Stone Medicine:
Melanie’s free gift:
An acrylic mixed media lesson that shows step by step how to create a ‘tree woman’ using collage papers, acrylic (golden open) heavy body paints and crackle paste. While creating, students are invited to reflect on the qualities of the tree that you want to bring more of into your life– more grounding, more strength, more connection.

About Melanie:
Melanie is an Indigenous mixed media artist who teaches online art classes to women around the world. She helps women build a joyful and self-compassionate art practice.
Melanie says; “Creating art brings me into the present moment, into stillness. In this space I am not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. In stillness, I find myself. I find peace, clarity and connection with my real emotions. I struggle with depression and anxiety and creating art has been transformational for me.”
Melanie is from the Squamish First Nation in Vancouver, Canada. She lives in her community with her wonderful husband of 18 years and she draws from her traditional ancestry and teachings in her art practice.
In her art she depicts the strength, realness and vulnerability of women. She believes that art has many medicines to share with us—stillness, joy, connection– and by building a self- compassionate art practice, we can experience these medicines on a regular basis.
