Life, with creativity and imagination

 

Life is art. Make yours an original. A true expression of your creative dreams and talents. Something to make you proud. 

No holding back now. No playing small or scared. It’s time to really go for it. We’ll support you every step of the way.

Hi. I’m Darlene. Writer, performer, explorer, master coach – and the founder of Lifescapers.

Think of Lifescapers as a creative ecosystem. A nurturing environment in which your creative life can flourish. When you join our community you gain access to:

  • A blog on living with creativity and imagination. 
  • Individual and group coaching to help you establish a consistent creative practice, define your vision, set goals, take action, stay focused to the end, and experience the joy of seeing your vision realized and received.
  • A safe space to show and share new works.
  • Small group expeditions and retreats with fellow creators in Canada and abroad. (Join us for the Scotland Expedition, May 11-18, 2024.)
  • A monthly newsletter to stay up to date on upcoming coaching programs, courses, resources and retreats. As well as publications, performances and exhibitions by members of our community.

Your creative expression is a gift to the world and food for your own soul. I challenge you to make this the year you fully embrace your creative nature, set some ambitious goals and gift yourself the support you deserve.

Come Away to Scotland

Join a small group of writers, artists, photographers and other creatives on expedition to the remote southwest coast of Scotland. Our purpose is to soak up the natural beauty, culture, and food of the region with all of our senses. And capture the essence of the place in words and images. Our destination is the village of Tighnabruiach, located on the Cowal peninsula, on the western arm of the Kyles of Bute. Accommodation, local transportation, most meals and activities included in the price. May 10-17, 2025.
