Mindful Art Journaling for Wellbeing

A relaxing 2 hour session where you'll learn the benefits of being creative for wellbeing through art journaling. All abilities welcome. We are Create Yourself Calm - we host workshops combining art and creativity with wellbeing and mindfulness which enable our participants to take time away from the to-do list and recharge. Our workshops are aimed at anyone from beginners to more experienced creatives. More about us and the event... Who are we? We are a team professional facilitators, art teachers, counsellors, and a mindfulness teacher who share a passion for the crossover between creativity and self-care. We're here to help you really make the most of your me-time and experience the benefits creativity can have on your wellbeing. What happens on the day? After brief introductions we will share an introduction to art journaling and the importance of creative health for wellbeing. In this session there are no rules to follow, nothing to get right or wrong. We will share a number of starting points and techniques, encouraging you to explore what feels good for you. A peaceful evening creating and chatting together. Come alone or bring a friend or two. All materials including a simple art journal will be supplied and you will leave having begun the journey of mindful art journaling for wellbeing. Don't worry if you're a complete beginner as this workshop is specifically designed to make it impossible not to produce some joyful, colourful creative work. It's also great for more experienced creatives to try really relax into something new and experiment. The main aim is to relax and enjoy the process and to forget all about organising home life/work/what to cook for dinner etc etc. for a couple of hours. The workshop will run for 2 hours at the end of which everyone will have some art journaling starting points to continue at home. We aim to have follow up sessions in the future so watch this space! There is plenty of parking at The Fold during the evening. Refreshments will be available for a small cost - please bring cash! Eventbrite fees are included in the price of the ticket.
