Since Shelley could never quite decide what to be when she grew up, she provides a range of professional services under the umbrella of her Victoria-based company, Qwill Creative Group.

She has a background in anthropology, women's studies, and music, and is an ardent informal student of spiritual and healing traditions. She especially loves Process-Oriented Psychology and the ground-breaking work friends in that field are doing with people in coma or dementia states. Together with Candace and Eric she is connected with several African communities, with a focus on the girls' education and health.



Shelley has worked closely with Candace and Eric developing Ango since its inception, and is pleased to offer catering, event publicity, and ceremonial services  geared especially to Ango's guests and facility-use clients.

Catering: Fabulous food for your workshop, meeting, event or retreat. Shelley's unique and beautifully presented cooking style is a delicious and healthful worldbeat fusion, organic where possible and featuring the island's bounty. Her repertoire features many vegetarian, and wheat-free options, including a totally impossible, flour-free chocolate torte. One caveat: Attendants at a recent meditation retreat 'complained' that the deliciousness of the food was making it rather hard for them to meditate on anything other than the next meal!

Event Publicity: Shelley can work with you to ensure that your workshop, class or special event at Ango gets the necessary attention-grabbing promotion it deserves.

Ceremony: Drawing from many traditions, and inspired by music, nature, spirit and your own stories, Shelley and the rest of the Ango team can create and guide fully personalized ceremonies to mark life passages, faciltate inner explorations and promote well-being.

Ceremony planning & facilitation

Website Design/Construction: We can create a dynamic new site for your business or organization; upgrade your existing site for easier content management and inter-activity; or get you started in the wonderful world of personal blogging and social networking.

Graphic Design: Business cards, posters, brochures, invitations, customized special occasion cards, and anything else calling for effective visual communication.

Writing and Editing: Reports, manuals, memoirs, lyrics, press releases, books, articles, love letters - okay we haven't actually done that for somebody else, but we could! If words are involved we can write them from scratch, or spuce up what you've already got, and make sure the right formatting is in place as well.

Event Production: "Hey kids, let's fix up the barn and put on a show!" Concerts. Benefits. Magical mystery adventures.

Photography:
Prints - Most images you see on this site, and many more, are available as limited edition archival fine art prints, or as cards. Shelley tries to create images that are a reverential love song to the exquisitely sensual details of nature, and the heart-piercing beauty of a certain kind of light.

Image Finishing- We can crop, balance and adjust your own digital images, to bring out their very best potential. It's amazing how much better a picture can look with a few tweaks and corrections. We can also re-size them to suit specific print or online purposes, and add captions or special effects.
