THE SANCTUARY

Art to Heart regularly works with the Sanctuary, a spirituality centre in the heart of Dublin city.

Workshops and Programmes for Adults

Individuals, groups and organizations have, over the years, participated in day-long workshops and developmental art programmes facilitated by Jole Bortoli.

In the beautiful and peaceful surroundings of the Sanctuary the participants felt at ease to explore and express their creativity through meditation, painting, story making and crafts.

Sanctuary for Youth Programme

Sanctuary for Youth is a programme designed to encourage and assist young people with their human development and complements many aspects of the school curriculum and community youth activity programmes. It is based on meditation and creativity and encourages young people to find, build and experience a place of sanctuary within and around themselves.

Through painting the students creatively explore themes based on personal story making and engage in group work around the making of a Mandala (sacred circle).
