Arts in Development

Meaning lives in the moments we experience

In development we support each other to live meaningful lives 
– lives that are creative, collaborative and connected 

We do this by walking alongside each other and building Libraries of Moments

All Arts in Development services are provided free and on demand
(donations are welcome)

Walks in Development

Sometimes all we need is someone to walk alongside us

 

In development life is a journey
– an ongoing process – 
that we are constantly learning more about

Connecting with that process
can be as simple as going for a walk

As we walk we focus in turn on:

The value of our experience 
How we navigate change
How we can organise for the future

To Walk in Development:

Take a question for a walk
Notice moments along the way
Record your experience

Book a Walk in Development

Every Friday I walk
in the Bristol/SW area
I’m always open to new places and people to walk with
Let me know if you’d like to join me
or book a walk at a time and place to suit you

Life doesn’t come with a manual

The Library of Moments is our companion in development

The moments we experience are a universal resource
with all we need to support each other
on every step of life’s journey

“I recommend Arts In Development as a tool for individuals and organisations, for one-to-one and cooperative working; his holistic approach helps untangle knots and brings out strengths with great positivity”  (Tara Downs, Miniature Museum )

“David is quietly rebellious and innovative and has created a new model of creative development, based on walks.  I’d recommend diving in deep to explore his approach”  (Elspeth Penny, 2BU Productions)

Walks in development have been a source of exploration, a way to connect with other creatives and an amazing space for self discovery.  David has a unique ability to create warm and welcoming environments that provide equal measures of support and motivation”  (Grace Kress, ShelbyXStudios)
