Welcome to our to Creative Wellbeing Workshops! We are passionate about promoting the benefits of art and creativity for overall mental and emotional wellbeing. Our workshops are designed to provide a safe and nurturing space for individuals to explore their creativity and enhance their overall sense of wellbeing.

During our workshops, participants will have the opportunity to explore various art mediums, such as painting, drawing, and collage. Our experienced facilitator will guide participants through different exercises and techniques, allowing them to tap into their creativity and discover new ways of self-expression.
Our workshops are open to individuals of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced artists. We believe that everyone has the ability to be creative, and our workshops are designed to foster a non-judgmental and supportive environment where participants can freely explore their creativity.
By participating, you will not only have the opportunity to engage in a creative and fulfilling activity but also gain valuable tools for managing stress, improving self-esteem, and enhancing overall wellbeing.

Creative Writing for Wellbeing
A series of 4 workshops in which to explore a journey of wellbeing using journalling, poetry, prompted writing, and stream of consciousness. Facilitated by Melissa you will be guided on how to use writing as a practice that both contains and expresses feelings.
