Arts in Development

Meaning comes from our experience of connection

~~~

In development we support each other to live meaningful lives

lives that are creative, collaborative and connected

~~~

We do this by building Libraries of Moments

Life doesn’t come with a manual

~~~

The Library of Moments is our companion in development

It has everything we need to live meaningful lives

~~~

As we walk through life 

we collect and share our own

moments, guides and maps

~~~

I’m delighted to share my library of moments which has

100’s of moments from Walks in Development

and a comprehensive set of development guides and maps

all on the back of a postcard!

Moments

All development occurs in a moment

Moments are the steps we collect on our journey

~

Every moment contains a seed of development

an opportunity

for creativity collaboration and connection

~

Take a moment to share 

The more we share moments,

the more meaningful they become

Guides

Walking is a natural guide 

 

Every moment we experience

feeds into our own development

and impacts on other people

and the wider world

~

A simple way to experience this is to go for a walk

~

As you walk

notice how your focus shifts 

and create your own development guide

~

Making guides helps us:

Value our experience

Navigate complexity

Find a positive way forward. 

~

Sometimes all we need is someone to walk alongside us

I would be happy to walk alongside you

Maps help us organise all our development

They show us how each moment  branches out from our core

~

Create your own map to:

Gather your research

Develop your practice

Make a long-term plan

An ongoing journey in development

Daily moments

Weekly walks

Publications and events

Every moment matters

Every moment contributes towards:

Our shared library of moments
Publications and events
Libraries in every community

Every contribution counts

Thank you for your support and encouragement!

“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)
