About us
Expat Mindful Art is a creative wellness community designed for expatriates seeking balance, connection, and self-expression through art. Rooted in mindfulness, art therapy–inspired practices, and holistic well-being, this group offers professionally guided experiences that combine creative expression, emotional awareness, and personal growth.
Mindfully led by Clinical Psychologist trained in Art Therapy Aida, founder of Fluid Art & Wellness: fluidartwellness.com
This group is ideal for expats, creatives, professionals, and wellness seekers who wish to explore art as a tool for stress relief, self-care, emotional regulation, and community building. No prior artistic experience is required, only curiosity and openness.
Through mindful art sessions, creative workshops, expressive arts, and wellness-focused gatherings, members are invited to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and cultivate presence in a supportive, multicultural environment. Sessions are led by qualified professionals in art, psychology, and wellness, ensuring a safe, reflective, and enriching experience.
Whether you are navigating expat life, transitions, burnout, or simply seeking meaningful connection, Expat Mindful Art offers a space to explore creativity with intention, deepen self-awareness, and foster well-being, one mindful moment at a time.

Collage Workshop on Leaving, Belonging & What We Carry (Online)
·OnlineOnlineJoin us for a collage session designed for anyone who has moved countries, cultures, or identities, and is still making sense of what that means.
Through a guided collage process, we explore the invisible weight of relocation:
what we kept, what we lost, and what we continue to carry.
This is not a technical class, No art experience needed.What we’ll do
- A short grounding to arrive and settle
- A guided collage process using images, words, and symbols
- Quiet reflection + optional sharing (no pressure to speak)
This approach is grounded in art therapy practices where symbolic imagery helps process complex transitions and identity shifts
What you might take from it
- A clearer sense of what you’re holding internally
- A different relationship to your experience of “in-between”
- A moment of pause in a life that often requires constant adaptation
This is not therapy, but it is a structured, reflective space.
Materials
Simple and accessible:- Paper
- Magazines / printed images (or anything you can cut)
- Scissors + glue
- Markers or pens
Who this is for
- Expats, Immigrants
- Anyone navigating identity, belonging, or “in-between” spaces
