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.

No art experience required. Not therapy. Not an art class.

For those who are feeling ready for a more contained and time-bound experience, I open small online cohorts a few times a year. You’ll hear about them here when the timing is right.

About the Facilitator
The cohort is facilitated by Aida, founder of Fluid Art & Wellness.
Her work sits at the intersection of mindfulness, creative process, and psychological awareness. She brings over a decade of experience working with individuals and groups, and is particularly attentive to boundaries, pacing, and emotional safety.
Her approach emphasizes creative exploration and presence, rather than treatment, instruction, or performance.
