​Louise ​Moriarty
P​oet & Healer

Louise does much more than write poems, her work is intuitive and she is famed for the 'poetry portrait' work that brings people to tears of gratitude. Readings and therapy with the Young Living oils is an experience not to be missed. Book in for a one-on-one or attend the oils nights in Tugun Queensland for a group flight of fancy. Louise is also responsible for the Restoration Kits designed and distributed with Creative Wink...

Apart from facilitating workshops, managing artists and authors, running exhibitions, making Restoration Kits, and collaborating with other artist ~ I also dabble in the arts myself: both the visual and esoteric kind. The image above is from the Tugun Artists Book by IRA Cafe available in short runs for $20 and hopefully an annual publication to promote the prolific amount of high quality local creativity.
lux ferre
self-acceptance candles

These cheeky accusation candles are deisgned to foster a creative journey to self-acceptance. Instead of thinking there is something wrong with us and we need to change in order to prosper (and be loved) it's time we found use in our idiosyncratic modus operendi.

For a real chuckle and a serious dip into the traits we are told to keep in check, I prescribe a lux ferre candle.
