After finishing her work as the Founder, Director and Custodian of Canberra Yoga Space (CYS) in November 2018, Nic knew that her arrival on the Sunshine Coast was calling to her creativity as an artist. She also knew that her next phase of work would involve creating a single art hub using different mediums. The intention of the work was about encouraging creativity as art therapy to restore and encourage ‘self-connection’.
CYS was a soul calling for Nic. The work, vision and mission were anchored in and revolved around restoring this idea of self-connection in the individual. It was a dedicated space for different avenues of self-connection, including yoga, meditation, bodywork, various yoga styles, and specialised focus classes.
The centre, which now has a new custodian, was a vibrant hub with 22 teachers/ bodyworkers and many external and interstate guest teachers. All did synergistic work towards the goal of self connection. In a world where culture and systems are geared towards heavy self-disconnection, this work was hugely beneficial for holistic and mental health in Canberra.
