Introducing Barbara Rose...

Barbara was an Air Traffic Controller for almost thirty years until ill health led to early retirement at the turn of the millennium. This forced a change in focus from the outer to the inner and she began to tread a path of self awareness to 'Know Herself' on every level of being.

In 2001 she entered a period of intense transformation embarking on four long term courses: classical and intuitive homeopathy, pure life healing, and Infinite tai chi teacher training. She offered complementary therapies in a safe and compassionate environment and taught tai chi, chi kung and meditation for five years before surrendering all in favour of the creative process awakening within her.

Her commitment to the healing process is evidenced by her own journey of self healing and transformation illustrated within articles posted on this site. Guided by several spiritual teachers and healers over many years she now offers the wisdom of her experience in service to others through talks, workshops and study groups.

During the summer of 2005 following a retreat at Samye Ling monastery in Scotland she created her first drawing,  "Emergence" the 'Being' in the background appeared as she was doodling. Gradually more and more drawings and beings began to emerge and 'Visions of Reality' was born. Over time poems began to form offering further aspects for contemplation.

"As I reflect upon my life I see my entire journey has led to this point and to my true purpose in this lifetime. This work is pure joy to create and fills me with excitement at its potential. No matter what my outer circumstances there has always been a thread of creativity running through my life... I never considered myself to be creative and yet here it is... tentatively I shared some of my drawings with my father 'well they are not my cup of tea but they are very good' he said, then added ' But then you always were good at drawing!' Why is it we always fail to see that which is right underneath our nose?"
