Our creative wellbeing workshops are designed to support your emotional health.

Through guided art-making, somatic tools, and gentle mindfulness, we help you reduce stress, release emotional tension, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels safe and nourishing.

Participants leave with practical tools for emotional resilience, deeper self-awareness, and a renewed sense of clarity and calm.

Each workshop blends elements of art therapy, somatic practices, and trauma-informed care to create space for real inner transformation.

Whether you’re navigating a life transition, managing stress, or simply craving time to reflect, these workshops offer deep, restorative support in a safe and welcoming environment.

This workshop will include:

A collage featuring a woman sitting by a window, surrounded by nature-themed illustrations and inspirational words such as 'bliss in mind', 'gratitude', and 'home'.

  • An introduction to Arts Therapy: A brief overview of what arts therapy is and how it can support your mental health and well-being 

  • Guided therapeutic art exercises: We'll be focusing on self-expression, relaxation, and reflection

  • Mindfulness, meditation, and nervous system regulation

  • Community connection: An opportunity for participants to share their experiences and insights from the art exercises (optional)

    It focuses on the process of creation rather than the final product, placing emphasis on the therapeutic benefits that arise from engaging in the art-making process. Therefore the workshops are inclusive and suitable for creatives and those who have never picked up a paintbrush before.

  • You'll need a sketchbook or paper (ideally A4 or A3) and a couple of basic art supplies. Ideally pick at least 2 different options from the list below:
