Art Well Weekly
Practice self-care through art activities
I’ve always struggled with my art skills. My brain creativity is endless, but my hands cannot transfer the picture on a paper. This time I tried something new. I let myself introduce the picture of the song “Golden hour” on the paper. In real time, in real colours, in real shapes. After 3 min and 29 seconds, I ended up with a perfection in front of me. And now anybody can look at my mind visualisation while listening to that specific song. For the very first time my hands were enough.

Supporting mental health through art
Art Well is a series of creative workshops that will allow participants to experience the connection between different kinds of art and their well-being.
Our first Art Well workshop is dedicated to self-reflection through Drawing on Canvas. Each participant receives an ecological tote-bag and an opportunity to express themselves in a calm, non-pressing environment.
This creative workshop will take you on an imaginary boat on which you together with other participants will become captains and mapmakers of your own lives. As seasoned seafarers, you will explore the various “roles and masks” as ports along your journey, recording in your logbook what each one offers you and what it hides. By the end of the voyage, you will have created your own inner compass – a map of your authentic values, sources of energy, and core needs – to help you navigate safely through whatever storms life may bring.
UPDATE: The workshop was postponed to September 2nd!
What can your body tell you — if you take a moment to listen?
We continue our series with a Body Movement Workshop focused on body awareness and personal boundaries.
Our bodies constantly communicate with us through tension, movement, posture, and physical sensations. Learning to notice these signals can help us better recognize emotions, become aware of stress, understand our boundaries, and feel more connected to ourselves and the world around us.
Through a series of body movement and improvised “dance” exercises, we’ll explore how we experience our bodies how we relate to space and other people, and how we can become more attentive to our own needs and limits.
Come as you are, stay curious, and give yourself some space to explore.
And, of course, we’ll also have some fun along the way! 🙂
Ever had a feeling you couldn’t quite put into words?
Join us for a two-hour creative writing workshop exploring how writing can help us express emotions, reflect on our experiences, and see familiar things from a different perspective.
You don’t need to be a writer, and you definitely don’t need to be “good” at writing. Through playful exercises, storytelling, poetry, metaphor and sensory writing, we’ll experiment with different ways of putting thoughts and feelings into words.
During the workshop, you will:
try freewriting and creative storytelling,
create a story from the perspective of a fictional character,
explore emotions through the senses and metaphor,
write your own short Senkan poem,
reflect on what your writing can reveal about you.
No previous writing experience is needed. Just bring yourself, your curiosity, and something to write with.
