OUR ARTISTIC VISION
The Essence
At Adama Creative Experience, we invite you to explore a unique blend of art therapy and creative expression. Nestled along The Gambia's serene coast, our sessions provide the perfect backdrop for inspiration and relaxation.
Led by experienced UK HCPC registered art psychotherapist and qualified art teacher Paulette Robinson, she is dedicated to fostering an environment where individuals and groups can flourish creatively. Each session is tailored to empower participants in their artistic journey while promoting personal discovery and growth. Every step is tailored for you, flights accommodation, art therapy sessions and tailored tours of the beautiful land of Gambia.
