If you've been curious about arts therapy but weren't sure where to start? ... this is for you.

Sometimes we need a different way to process what we're going through.

Our emotions don't follow a schedule..... You can have a good day and still feel sad. You can be grateful and still grieve.

There's no "right" time to feel what you feel. Your emotions are valid, even when they don't seem to match the moment.

If you're feeling this way, I see you. You're not broken, you're not too much, and you're not alone in this. Sometimes the bravest thing we do is simply let ourselves feel 🫶

Craving some downtime? A quiet pause from the everyday rush?

This workshop is your permission slip to slow down. We'll spend 4 hours stitching words we want to hear or say into fabric - gentle, mindful, grounding.

Together we'll:
✨ Drop into meditation
✨ Enjoy yummy snacks and hot tea
✨ Create in community

Whether you're seeking quiet reflection or connection (or both!), there's space for you here 💙

My art supplies shopping list is sometimes..... unconventional 🛒😂

Forget the art store - sometimes the best materials come from the most random places!
Swipe to see some of the unexpected materials we create with in arts therapy ✨

✨When we engage with arts materials, we're not always aware of what's emerging. A color calls to us. A shape insists on being drawn. An image appears that we didn't plan.

But art is generous. It keeps giving 💫.
Weeks, months, even years later, that same piece can speak to us again with an entirely different message. What felt like anger can reveal itself as grief. What seemed like chaos may show us it was the beginning of clarity.

The image/ creation becomes a living thing - an ongoing excavation of self, each layer revealing something new as we're ready to see it.

This is why arts therapy isn't about making "good" art or figuring everything out in one session. It's about creating a space where your inner world can express itself freely, and then meeting those expressions with curiosity and compassion - again and again, for as long as they have something to teach you 🌱

Your art knows things you don't know yet - and it will reveal itself when the time is right 💛

Such an inspiring group of humans creating together this weekend!

Stitching words we want to hear or say - there's something so grounding about that slow, mindful process.

Thank you for sharing your Saturday with me ✨

Big thanks to Square Edge Community Arts for making this workshop possible

Today I picked flowers from my garden for a friend. Even in the drizzle 🌧️ there was so much beauty to gather.

Gardening is in my blood.
My grandparents were market gardeners 🥬🥕, my other nana grew everything she could get her hands on. I think they passed on more than just green thumbs - they taught me that tending to growing things tends to something in us too.

There's something deeply grounding about getting your hands in the soil, watching things grow, and noticing the small beauties even on grey days.

It's a gentle reminder that we all need care sometimes 🌸🙏
