Arline Malakian, photographer, creative director and our CEO is your facilitator for these CREATIVITY WORKSHOPS mindset sessions and classes. She has created an engaging course that has inspired many, originally based on the book “The Artist Way” by Julia Cameron, and immersive hands-on exercises and discussions. Malakian, a professor of creativity at Seneca College in Toronto since 2015, applies the methodology of her teachings in her work and way of being. She guides by example with passion and generosity, she is truly a visionary who communicates with ingenuity from the heart in her poetic poise, addressing to the potential she sees in everyone. Her prowess stems from experience, study, observation and a long-standing career she loves.

With baby steps, Arline showed me how to dismantle and release myself from old beliefs and articulate who I am and my purpose.

Thanks to this course and her coaching, I am able to follow my dream of writing a children’s book. I thrivein the present experimenting, engaging with curiosity and courage everyday.

I now enjoy the serenity in living in my integrity aligned with essence. From this palce I know, ALL DREAMS ARE POSSIBLE!

I never expected a course that would touch and teach me from the inside... and that the lessons learned would be for life and stay with me for so many years.

"Consciousness observing consciousness" was the first class. Pretty profound! From there, I began to learn to pause in this chaotic life and observe with presence and awareness. “observe beyond the eyes”.

At that time, I was going through a messy period of adapting to the change of country. "Believe in the process" and "Enjoy the now" were the most impactful lessons that are with me to this day.

And "play”. This lesson I remember very well, because I need to laugh as much as I breathe. So I always provide myself with joyful and happy occasions to counterbalance the serious part of life.

Thank you Arline for providing such experience! your Creativity course was a gift for me! Description text goes here
