Creative Connection

​A playful and reflective creative workshop to help you feel more connected with yourself, connect with people and leave more inspired.

​In a world that moves quickly this screen free workshop is an invitation to pause, step away from everyday life and be creative in your own way.

​We'll do fun exercises in a relaxed setting and beautiful space. You don't need to be artistically inclined because there is no right or wrong way to create, the focus is on the experience.
​
What to expect
​✨ A gentle introduction and a few playful connection exercises
​💭 A moment to reflect on what you might want to release or make space for
🎨 An intuitive creative session to explore those feelings through your own artwork
​🫶 A small exchange of kindness, where participants get to connect with each other
​🌱 A closing reflection to notice how you feel compared to when you arrived

​The intention is to create a little space to play, express, connect and recharge.

Come as you are and leave with something you created that means something to you, a little more connection, and a lighter heart. 🌈

​About the host:
​Hello! My name is Weim and as a creative artist and people-person who has lived across five different countries, I’m passionate about bringing art and human connection together. I love to create experiences to slow down, play, explore like kids again, with the consideration and awareness of who we are today.
