Ethos
The four Aspects of Holton Lee are:
Arts, Disability & Carers, Environment, Personal Growth & Spirituality.
All four Aspects are understood to be integrated and mutually informing each other, in keeping with the founding vision of an integrated and inclusive centre of excellence.
As expressed in 1993 by founder-member Faith Lees, Holton Lee is to be a centre to which people can come to discover new and innovative approaches, whether in practical ways or in ways which integrate the spiritual, psychological and physical aspects of their lives, not separating out and compartmentalising by making a division between science and religion, disabled to non-disabled, creative and practical, thus demonstrating a holistic and a healing view of life. Such a transformative quality of life is based on the holistic integration of the Four Aspects which are integral to and inform each other both in practice and theory.
Holton Lee’s vision has developed out of the belief that within each person is the potential for growth and creativity which, when recognised, enables that person to mature and flourish. At Holton Lee we work to provide a peaceful relaxing atmosphere for guests within a supportive environment and pleasant surroundings. There are opportunities for people to grow in understanding of themselves, of others and of the environment. Holton Lee operates as a place of refuge, safe yet potentially stimulating, where people can come to discover ways of integrating the creative, spiritual and physical aspects of themselves.
