Recharge & Create: Make Art to Channel Your Inner Child 🎨✨

Burnout prevention and recovery are supported when we step away from screens and engage our hands and minds - creating art is a simple, powerful way to relax, reconnect, and recharge.

On Friday, February 27th, at 1.25 pm, we’ll meet at de Boomsspijker (Atelier 2.2) for a creative workshop guided by Mon, founder of Flock & Doodle. To channel that uninhibited, childlike creativity, we will be drawing with tools that are not necessarily made for drawing - exciting!

The session will be in the Atelier 2.2. When you enter the building, go to the left, take the stairs up to the second floor, cross the glass doors, and it will be the second door to the left. Once everyone arrives, we will get introduced, settle in, and start the session. Please arrive a few minutes early.

✨ Good to know:

• Some activities will be done standing up.
• All levels are welcome. You don’t need any prior art or drawing experience to enjoy this.
• Feel free to ask for guidance at any point.
• Focus on feeling, not technique. We will only discuss the emotional and symbolic layers of your work, not the technical execution.

⚠️ Important information
This event requires a €15 reservation fee to secure your spot. Make sure to complete this Tikkie along with your RSVP; otherwise, your spot will be offered to someone else. The event remains donation-based; you’re welcome to contribute more after the session via Tikkie or cash.
