Day 23 – August Arty Challenge – Actually, I Can!
I remember when the kids were growing up, I used to say to them, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, either way, you’re probably right.” And I still believe that.
So often, we decide we can’t do something before we’ve even had a go. I can’t draw. I can’t do that technique. I’m no good with colour. Mine won’t look like that. Sound familiar? But what happens if we change the conversation in our head? What if, instead of “I can’t,” we say, “Actually, I can!”
It doesn’t mean we’ll get it right first time, or that it will turn out exactly as we imagined. It simply means we’re willing to have a go. And that’s where all the good stuff starts. So today, if that little voice pipes up and tells you that you can’t, answer it back: Actually, I CAN!

Last day of the Parchment Retreat today. I popped in yesterday to check in and say hello, and it was so quiet! Everybody was completely engrossed in their artwork. Heads down, totally absorbed. Wonderful to see.
To all who came to Ditton this past week, whether for the Mixed Media Retreats or the Parchment Retreat, thank you. Thank you for choosing to spend your precious time with us, for making the journey, for joining in wholeheartedly, and for supporting what we do. We never take that for granted. It means such a lot to us.
As soon as we have our 2027 Retreat dates confirmed, we’ll let you know, so you can get them in the diary nice and early. We’re also planning to introduce a new split-pay option, so rather than finding the Retreat fee all at once, you’ll be able to spread the cost over several months. We hope that will make it a little easier to plan ahead, and perhaps make joining us at Ditton possible for more of you.
And as long as you keep coming, we’ll keep going.
Love and Clarity,

Had a really good time at the retreat and I hope that being able to split the cost will encourage more people to take the plunge. I also hope that you will be able to have a restful day today you really deserve it xxx
Hopefully won’t be on holiday next year, or my sisters unable to step in for dad or that it doesn’t clash with my son’s wedding. Would be good to come down to a retreat again I loved the one I did before “stuff “ got in the way but I am so grateful for the new online courses which are super for those of us finding travel difficult
