Mentoring for Artists & Creatives
Dean Melbourne & Andrew Phillips
The Ancient Inn
A nurturing space for professional and personal rejuvenation.
Available to clients in the UK and internationally.
The Ancient Inn is a place for deeper, slower conversation with you at the centre. It brings together our experience in art, mentoring, and psychotherapy.
A place for those who kindle the flame of imagination, soul and a curiosity for the inner life. A place of shelter in a culture addicted to surface, speed, and growth.
A Warm Welcome
As your hosts, we provide a welcoming space where we explore, more slowly, a range of areas in relation to your creative work and life.
You will experience something a little different from most creative mentoring and coaching, which has achievement as its immediate focus and so provides systems, strategy or tactics.
The Ancient Inn holds the belief that inner understanding, alignment and holistic “success” can only be attained in a more exploratory process.
As our client, you will benefit from the combination of our extensive experience in art, mentoring and psychotherapy, which provides a
distinctive blend of perspectives.
We understand the importance of achieving worldly success, but we emphasise the necessity of the personal context of your life and creative vision, rather than an ‘at all costs’ approach.

-
Seeking a reflective space to process meaning and purpose

Looking for support that blends the psychological with the soulful
