Pin Spot is a creative wellbeing business based in Sydney, Australia.  Pin Spot aims to foster the emotional, mental, physical, spiritual and environmental health of individuals, families and communities through creative arts and innovative ideas.  Creative projects is what makes Pin Spot come alive.  Creative wellbeing for us as a business means having the time and resources to make our own art, create puppet productions, write music and weave stories.  We find a purpose in building community through our creations and their contexts.  Through transpersonal art therapy and creativity coaching/counselling sessions individuals are assisted to navigate their own lives with a sense of purpose.  Creative wellbeing workshops bring people together to refresh their spirits and build real connections with others.  Pin Spot Puppet Club focuses on strengths and resilience through laughter and fun for young and old alike.
