A past resident writes about her experience of New Course:
"Arteles is a place where you can go deep and you are supported by powerful and kind facilitators who hold the creative space for you with SISU. You will be encouraged and supported to put self-care first, to go as deep into your creative process as you want and you will be supported at every turn. Sometimes the support is not exactly what you would like but it is probably in your best interest. They will heat up the sauna for you and empower you to heat it for yourself! The Finns have Sisu and you and your creative space will be held with quality of gentle Sisu. This is a profound gift to the world."NEW COURSE

An artist retreat is a professional and personal investment, and it needs considerable thought. That is why I am posting responses from the artists who have already done the course...take your time to decide. It could be life-changing, and that is a scary place to go if you do not really want to change.
Here is a response from Anita, Sydney.
"In the first instance, this experience delivered so much more than I could have imagined prior to arriving at Arteles. Margi was a polished and highly inspirational and gifted facilitator who offered to each resident as an individual as well as a group member, a unique and I believe a well needed creative experience, that can only enhance the personal growth of each of us for years to come.
Having worked in the creative field in Sydney both in tertiary art education, university galleries and as an art therapist for over 20 years, I have not come across this type of immersive planned program that considered the creative, spiritual and interpersonal development of each participant. This kind of experience where personal growth through the structured workshops can support an artist's creative endeavours, is I believe, vital, and I'm very grateful to have been one of the early recipients and I'll be sharing this model and experience with colleges back in Sydney and of course, will be recommending the overall residency program".NEW COURSE

Those of you who want a change...a quote from one of the participants this year
"I am rejuvenated and stronger then ever!
Thanks to the audacious, kind, and delicious facilitation of Dr. Margi Brown Ash...
I came to her ready and curious to participate in all that she had to offer... I found MBA and New Course at a moment when i was feeling exhausted, sick of being self directed, and overwhelmed. I was longing for a creative community, some direction and suggestions, and a quiet held space to go deep and wide.
I found all of this and more in the New Course program at Arteles Creative Centre in Finland." Thank you Hazel Bellkoski for your generous testimonial. #artelescreativecenter #newcourseNEW COURSE

"I had the privilege of attending Margi’s New Course Residency Program at the Arteles Centre in Finland and found it to be a truly transformative experience, both personally and creatively. Margi’s guidance opened my eyes to new ways of working and more effective ways of tapping into creativity. As a result, I came away with a deeper sense of trust in my own instincts and with a set of very practical tools that I will be taking forward into my creative practice. Working with Margi is truly life-changing" (Anna, May 2019).NEW COURSE
