A while ago I was running a small creative group, and a man joined who told me straight away he wasn't creative. He was caring for his wife and was exhausted.
I gave him a simple leaf template and showed him how to tear bits of paper from a magazine and stick them down. By the end he'd covered a whole painted tree with paper leaves, each one holding something he was praying about. He said he found it hard to stop because it was so relaxing.
That's the moment this Collective was born. Not a business plan. A table, some paper, and someone who didn't think this was for him, finding out it was.
As a Former Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, I spent 34 years helping people find another way to express themselves. This is the same thing, with paper, glue and Scripture.
