Welcome to Shiloh Creative Life Centre
The unfolding of the Fibonacci sequence in our logo is like the spiraling of a new unfurling silver fern fronds known as the Koru in the Māori culture here is New Zealand. The Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio spiral are all around us in nature daily in the petals of a flower, the way tree branches split, sea shells, as well as the human body. It reminds us that we are all connected to everyone and everything. We are in nature as much as nature is in us. When our collective life energies are moving together, focused in one direction, we can be open to the wonderment of life, the blossoming of new beginnings and the oneness of a nation that focuses on love.
With the economic landslide we are deeply immersed in Aotearoa New Zealand, our board of trustees have taken steps to opening a peaceful quaint sanctuary deep in the heart of our breathtaking rain forest in Titirangi within the Waitakere Ranges and overlooking the Manukau Harbor.
We welcome people to come create, play, eat, rest, pray, read, and stay for a cuppa … or two. The world is a wee bit crazy out there and offering a little studio space to share a story or two, participate in an art class we offer, or to work on an art project that you find in your basket that walked through the door with you… we are here, we are open and we welcome our friends our community and our loved ones to visit and experience the path we chose to take in this great time of change. Going with the flow, decreasing overheads dramatically and being mobile is a good thing!
Our office/studio is located at 84 Otitori Bay Road in French Bay. Please feel free to reach out to our creative director Dee Petit if you wish to come visit for our office is not always open due to community commitments. We have and continue to apply for grants for our three core programmes along with some larger art projects we are wanting to offer in 2025, but need the financial help of our local and government agencies to offer these projects for FREE to our Central/South Auckland communities. Being flexible allows us to be mobile in our offerings and support a variety of programmes in varies spaces and venues.
