Dear friends, Happy Easter!
We’ve just returned from a deeply moving visit to Ukraine, where we worked with displaced Ukrainian children alongside The Fetch Theatre on a beautiful project called The Healing House. This unique theatre production explored the healing power of art – and it was a privilege to witness the children's creativity and strength firsthand.
We want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated to help cover the cost of materials – your support made this possible.
Here some powerful images from the trip – we hope they speak to you as much as the experience touched us.

Beautiful hand decorated Pysanky Eggs have arrived from Kosmach, Ukraine. Lovingly decorated by Pysanka Artist in 3rd generation Hanna and her grand daughter Mariya. When we did our tours to Carpathian region we used to take our groups to her little house in the middle of nowhere surrounded by mountains and decorate eggs in her living room. Such beautiful and precious memories. Every time I hold one of her Easter eggs , those moments come alive before my eyes. Pysanky are available to purchase from my online shop.
