Group Arts Workshops for all
My Group Arts for Wellness workshops offer emotional wellbeing through creative expression, social connection, and personal growth.
I invite participants from diverse backgrounds to engage in structured, supportive activities around the table, using mediums such as visual arts, music, movement, writing, and drama to explore identity, build resilience, and foster a sense of belonging.
​
Activities may include any of the following, depending on peoples’ interests, questions, and preferences, as well on my lightly-held observation and assessment of needs :
​
* wet-on-wet watercolour painting * oil paints by rubbing/painting * drawing with charcoal, graphite, beeswax crayons, soft pastels, oil pastels * poems and songs, fairytale stories, myths and fables * observing/sketching Nature (plants / flowers / trees / other items) * natural clay modelling * weaving with branches/grass * form drawing * themed collage and cards art-making * themed creative writing * life biography reflections * gentle seating or standing Eurythmy movement * singing * conversational expressions * sandtray play * object constellations to understand relationships
Groups Arts for Wellness Workshops
​
To create art from within has an inherent power to inspire true change. The images you see and create can be deepened into and parts amplified, to help facilitate new understandings and intuitive insights, as gifts especially for you!
Guided workshops include a balance of free-mark-making and specific archetypal movements of mark-making.
​
Art-making can be particularly useful to help verbalise overwhelming emotions from the past traumas and unresolved issues and to meet present crises.
​​​
Group Arts workshops are designed to inspire individuals to connect with themselves and with each other, whilst including the natural world. This can happen through themed classes in harmony with seasonal changes, personal celebrations, and hopes; or offered as a space to freely explore arts media and personal interests.
​
I also like to plan and deliver my arts sessions and workshops in alignment with specific International Festivals that enable us to breathe with the natural Rhythms of Life.

Participants are invited to enter the process of an imaginative listening conversation with still life objects, or living plants and vegetables/fruits.
Through guided observations of plants, trees, animals, and other natural items, we can come closer to discern and cultivate living relationships with each other, and our surroundings.
An artistic response to our observations would follow, through sketching, writing, or clay modelling.
The creative process itself may invite new discoveries that are deeply felt, dynamic, and ever-evolving in knowing ones self, as Peace.
​
Participants may be invited to meet ancient international myths, fables and fairytale stories, wonder-tales, poems, and songs in arts workshops. As we strive to understand the longings, helpers, and hindrances in the imaginative stories, we may move towards new discoveries around our relationships of the past, present, and future.
​​
Small groups of specific staffing teams, or demographical identities can be accommodated to invite safety and confidentiality for self-reflection.
​
Overall, my group art workshops offer emotional wellbeing through creative expression, social connection, and personal growth. I invite participants from diverse backgrounds to engage in structured, supportive activities around the table, using mediums such as visual arts, music, movement, writing, and drama to explore identity, build resilience, and foster a sense of belonging.​
