OUR STORY

How it all started...

Pillars & Stone began as a dream to bring people together through creativity and making - a place where creativity and human connection thrive.

We deliver arts-based programs and retreats that ignite connection, enhance creativity, and support well-being.                                                                                                                                                                                      In a world dominated by screens, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. At Pillars & Stone, we believe in the transformative power of making—with your hands, your heart, and your imagination. We offer experiences designed to help adults and children unplug, reconnect with self and others, and rediscover the joy of innate creativity.                               Our programs and retreats aren’t just about art or becoming an artist—they’re about creating a haven for meaningful connection, playful exploration and well-being. From sculpting with clay to painting and interactive play, each session invites you to experience the simple joy of being present in the moment, without digital distractions.                                                                                                                                                        Make with your hands, connect with your heart. Join us to experience the power of unplugged creativity.

OUR MISSION

Create. Connect. Thrive

Pillars & Stone began as a simple vision: to create a more human-connected future by fostering creative living. In an era where digital devices dominate our lives, we often find ourselves distanced from our creativity, from each other, and ultimately from our own well-being. Pillars & Stone is the response to this modern disconnection – a beacon for those looking to unplug, reconnect, and thrive.                                                                                                                                                            Our Mission: We exist to help people ignite their creativity, well-being and meaningful connections.                                                                                                                                                                                                    Foster Connections: Create spaces for meaningful relationships to flourish. Build bridges between hands and hearts.                                       Ignite Creativity: Spark imagination through hands-on experiences. Unleash the creative within everyone.                                                                                                                                                                      Promote Well-being: Prioritise mental and emotional health. Cultivate joy through shared creative moments.                                                                                                                                                                                          The Modern Dilemma In our fast-paced, technology-driven world, we often find ourselves caught in a paradox: constantly connected, yet feeling more isolated than ever. The digital overload we experience daily can lead to decreased creativity, increased anxiety, and a sense of disconnection from ourselves and others. At Pillars & Stone, we recognise that this disconnect is more than just a minor inconvenience – it's a significant challenge that affects our well-being, relationships, and ability to think innovatively. And in a world of rapid change and complexity, creativity is vital.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Our Response At Pillars & Stone, we've crafted a unique approach to combat the ‘modern day’ disconnect. Our solution is rooted in the power of hands-on creativity, mindful engagement, and genuine human connection. We provide a sanctuary where adults and children can step away from their screens and rediscover the joy of making something with their own hands. Through our carefully designed programs and retreats, participants are given the opportunity to engage all their senses, collaborate with others, and immerse themselves in the present moment. Each activity is designed to spark imagination, reduce anxiety, and foster a sense of accomplishment and well-being. Returning to hands-on activities and play is not just about connecting with others; it's essential for cultivating the creative skills and adaptable mindsets needed to navigate the complexities of the future.
