A creative and explorative workshop integrating therapeutic art making with guided mindfulness meditation, open to all levels of experience.

Each workshop will have a specific focus, with guided art making and mindfulness meditation practices in each. You can attend each individually, or book all three for a 10% discount.

Exploring Resilience and Creativity through Art Therapy & Mindfulness

How can we cultivate resilience to support ourselves during challenging times? One theme offered during the session will be trees as a symbol of resilience, explored through images, mindfulness meditation, art making and group sharing.

We will connect with our felt-sense and self-expression to consider how we resource ourselves: how can we care for ourselves and others? How can we grow and thrive amidst adversity and change? How can we rest in our unique individual expression within our interconnected and interdependent networks?

Aims:
• Cultivate spaciousness, presence and ease
• Open to creativity and insight
• Practice resilience and grounding
• Connect with the heart and emotions

Any level of experience with mindfulness and/or art making are welcome to attend!

This workshop will be delivered via Zoom. You will need access to a confidential space to make art, and at least two art materials of your choice. This workshop can be attended individually or as part of a series of afternoon mindfulness & art therapy workshops on 7th Nov, 5th Dec, 16th Jan.
