What if you gave your difficult emotions a little more space?

Anger. Sadness. Frustration. Fear. Overwhelm. Uncertainty.

We all experience difficult emotions, but we don't always have the time, space, or language to explore them.

This gentle and creative workshop offers an opportunity to pause, connect with your body, and explore emotions through Neuro-Somatic Painting and a supportive Women’s Circle.

You don't need to be an artist. There is no right way to paint, and you don't need to find the “right” words.

During the workshop, we will explore:

🎨 Neuro-Somatic Painting

A guided creative practice using colour, movement and intuitive mark-making to explore the relationship between your body, emotions and inner experience.

The focus is not on creating a finished artwork. Instead, painting becomes a way of slowing down, noticing and expressing what may be difficult to put into words.

The materials for painting are included in the ticket's price.

Somatic Awareness

We will gently bring attention to physical sensations, posture, breathing and the ways emotions can show up in the body.

You will be invited to explore these experiences at your own pace, without needing to analyse or change them.

Women’s Circle

We will come together in a welcoming and respectful space where you can listen, reflect and, if you wish, share your experience with others.

Sharing is always optional. There is no pressure to speak.

This workshop may be particularly meaningful if you:

• Feel emotionally overwhelmed or have a lot on your mind.

• Want to reconnect with your body and emotions.

• Are curious about creative.approaches to self-expression.

• Would like time away from your usual responsibilities.

• Want to explore emotions in a gentle, non-judgemental environment.

• Are interested in the connection between creativity, body awareness and wellbeing.

No previous painting, meditation or somatic experience is needed.

A space to pause.

A space to feel.

A space to express.

A space to listen to yourself.

Please note: This is a creative wellbeing and self-exploration workshop, not therapy or medical treatment. You remain in control of what you choose to explore and share throughout the session.

I look forward to welcoming you.
