THE ALE TRAIL Crawl 🍻🍺… (🥂🍷🍸!!!)

COCKLE BAY CIRCLES

The Collage Circle — Create. Reflect. Connect.

A space to slow down, create, and reconnect with yourself. Through the simple act of flipping through magazines, cutting out images and words that resonate, and assembling them into personal collages, we explore our stories, emotions, dreams, and inner worlds. No artistic experience is needed—just curiosity. Together we’ll use collage as a tool for self-expression, reflection, journaling, and healing, creating a mindful break from the noise of our fast-paced, technology-driven lives. We’ll gather around a table with magazines, scissors, paper, and glue, and simply start exploring. Browse through the magazines, cut out any images, words, colours, or textures that catch your attention or resonate with you, then arrange them into a collage that feels meaningful to you. There are no prompts, no right or wrong way to do it, and no artistic experience is needed. This is an inward journey—a chance to slow down, work with your hands, and enjoy a peaceful, creative space away from the constant noise of everyday life. At the end, anyone who would like to share their collage or talk about their experience is warmly invited to, but there’s absolutely no pressure. You’re welcome to simply create, reflect, and enjoy the process.
