Study With Us

Established in East Grinstead, West Sussex, more than thirty years ago, Tobias is an art & therapy college with a transpersonal approach offering a unique curriculum which unites a broad range of practical and academic experiences into a whole journey.

Tobias also runs a range of summer courses and popular workshops throughout the year.

The Tobias Community is a multi cultural, multi-lingual family of students. Here is what some of them have to say about their time at Tobias:

Hannah Simon (United Kingdom originally from Japan)

Vanessa Snaith (Australia)

The training has stood me well over here in Oz where I can’t keep up with just how thirsty people seem to be for the artistic work which is wonderful. I’ve also had quite a renaissance with my own painting, which was an unexpected outcome of the course..... I just cant stop now..... forming those habits of having painting projects constantly seems to have set up an ever perpetuating need for the paint brush (or I find myself feeling less than human!) So Tobias and your teaching has certainly opened up and enhanced my life. I’m forever grateful.
Anni D’Agostino (Scotland) During my training I especially appreciated the open and creative way tutors and courses at Tobias supported me in beginning to find my own identity as a therapeutic practitioner.

Barbara Asmal (United Kingdom)

My cohort was a diverse group of students from all over the world drawn together by a common interest.  Tobias offered great riches both in the content of the courses and the teachers. The study of Rudolf Steiner`s lectures was at the heart of it then . Some highlights for me ..... apart from the joy of being able to "play" and create with colour nearly every day....... were chipping away at a stone carving, working with clay and getting an insight into eurythmy, speech and counselling skills. Personal projects helped us to get to know one another more deeply and I have fond memories of the social element .......   coffee and biscuits in the courtyard and celebrating the Festivals.

I found the course at Tobias school inspiring and helpful for working with children that have different needs, also combined with other curative work with the children.

Cheri Munske (United States of America)

In addition to painting, drawing and sculpture, I offer individuals and groups other therapeutic expressive arts such as puppetry, storytelling, and writing. This work is deeply fulfilling for me, and it is ever a privilege to share this journey into the soul with another human being. I am very grateful to Tobias for giving me the tools and confidence to work in this realm.
