What we’re about
Creative Reflective Workshops for Expats is a space for internationals who want to explore their migration experiences through creative and reflective methods.
We focus on self-expression, storytelling, identity, and the emotional dimensions of living abroad.
Our workshops are practical, gentle, and process-oriented. No artistic background is required.
This group is for expats who want to:
• reflect on their migration journey
• connect with others through creative exercises
• explore identity, belonging, and adaptation
• use art-based and psychological methods in a safe space
We host small, interactive sessions using creative tools, guided reflection, and group dialogue.
Everyone is welcome regardless of profession, background, or artistic skill.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful and creative way to process the expat experience, this group is for you.
