Mindful Art in Lisbon

The week before Halloween, the whole city puts on a face. Shop windows, costumes, strangers you almost recognise.
For two hours, with a plain white mask in front of you, you'll make a mask of your own: with paint, colour, and whatever wants to come out. No one tells you what it should look like, or what it should mean.

This isn't an art class; it's a guided space to meet the versions of yourself with curiosity rather than judgement, and to notice what's quietly asking for more room. You share only what you want to. The rest stays with you.
You'll leave with the mask in your hands and, often, with a slightly different sense of the person wearing it.
The evening includes

• A small, unhurried group
• Guided facilitation
• Quiet time to create, and space to share if you choose
• A finished mask to keep

Materials to prepare:
- A4 paper + any art material/medium you feel called to explore.
Language: English · Open for Adults 18+ · No experience needed
Price: 15 euros via transfer, Payment confirms your seat.

Led by Aida Akoury Psychologist and mindful art facilitator, with postgraduate training in Art Therapy and Community Art. She founded Fluid Art & Wellness to build experiences where creativity, reflection, and real connection meet.

One week before Halloween, Lisbon begins filling with visible masks. This workshop turns our attention towards the quieter ones we carry every day.
The versions of ourselves we show at work, in relationships, with family, or in unfamiliar spaces are not necessarily false. Some help us belong. Some protect us. Others may have become heavier than we realised.
The Mask & the Mirror is a two-hour mindful art workshop inviting you to explore these different parts of yourself through painting, reflection, and creative expression.
We’ll begin with a guided grounding practice before each participant receives a white mask to transform using paint, colour, symbols, words, and intuitive marks.
No artistic experience is required. This is not an art class, and there is no correct way for your mask to look. You decide what your artwork means, what you share, and what remains private.
You’ll leave with your painted mask, a personal reflection to carry forward, and perhaps a clearer view of the different parts of yourself that move through the world.
