Sparrow Leaders
Team
Our nest has many kinds of Brilliant Birds gliding in.
Our Sparrow Leaders can guide smooth landings!
Please ask them for support whenever you need it.

Supportive Arts Facilitator
Stephanie Lines-Toohill
You can often find Steph wandering in the forest with her beloved dog, Django looking for nature gifts and found objects to inspire art making in the nest.
She champions every artist as a curious and courageous explorer.
Steph is also a Community PSW and the Mother of four grown and fabulous sons!

Art Teacher
Donna Hull
"Teaching Art has become more than a profession for me.
As I grow my own skills alongside the knowledge and techniques used in the Caring Arts practices, I am better able to support my students and clients.
I have studied many modalities in the world of Supportive Arts and keep an up-to-date resource library of activities.
I am a trained Hospice Volunteer and learned Narrative Art Therapy from Nicole at Hospice Wellington.
I enjoy using my skills to support individuals find the expressive artform that resonates with them."

Nest Facilitator
Gemma Lines-Botell
Gemma is Sunshine on a Rainy Day with buckets of experience supporting people of all ages in creative settings. She understands that sometimes birds need a quiet perch in a windy tree. She enjoys disguising herself as varied garden vegetables to surprise her family at dinner time.
Her REAL details will be posted here once she has finished peeling!

Dancer/Choreographer
Norah Wardell
Norah brings vast experience in building inclusive Theatre and Dance communities. She uses repurposed clothing and materials for staging, props and costume design.
More will be posted here once she returns from her Enchanted Forest Production in Fergus at the end of September.
