About us
Mindful Art Lisbon offers in-person experiences that combine creativity, mindfulness, and emotional awareness in a calm, structured setting.
These workshops are designed for adults seeking a deeper pause from daily life — using art as a reflective and regulating practice rather than a technical skill.
Each session is carefully facilitated and intentionally small, allowing for presence, containment, and meaningful engagement. Materials are provided, and no previous art experience is required.
This is not entertainment, therapy, or a traditional art class.
It is a grounded wellbeing experience for those who value depth, attention, and inner clarity.
Ideal for locals and visitors looking for a meaningful creative practice in Lisbon.
Mindfully led by Clinical Psychologist trained in Art Therapy Aida, founder of Fluid Art & Wellness: fluidartwellness.com
For those who are feeling ready for a more contained and time-bound experience, I open online cohorts a few times a year called The Mindful Creative Circle:

The Mask & The Mirror: Mindful Art Workshop 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
- Everything you need to make your mask
- Guided facilitation
- Quiet time to create, and space to share if you choose
- A finished mask to take home
Details: Saturday, 24 October 2026 · 5:00–7:00 PM Central Lisbon — exact location shared after booking In English · Adults 18+ · No experience needed
Price First 5 places €27 · then €30
Ten places only. 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.
Come as you are. Paint the mask. See what looks back.

Between Two Places: Mindful Art Workshop for People Who Left Home (Via Zoom)
·OnlineOnlineYou left a place. But the place didn’t fully leave you.
This session is for anyone who has moved countries, cultures, or identities, and is still making sense of what that means. Through a guided mindful art 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 mindful art 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
- Paper/Paint/colors/ Markers or pens
- Optional: Magazines / printed images (or anything you can cut)
- Scissors + glue
Who this is for
- Expats, Immigrants
- Anyone navigating identity, belonging, or “in-between” spaces
Practical details
- Duration: 1 hour online via Zoom
- Group size: Small group for depth
- Price: €12 via transfer

·OnlineOnlineHave you been moving through your days without a real pause? Creative Reset is a free online mindful art workshop designed to help you slow down, notice how you are arriving and reconnect with yourself through colour, line and shape.
This is an experiential session and no artistic experience is needed. The focus is on the process, not on creating something beautiful or “getting it right.”
We will:- Arrive through a short guided grounding
- Spend time making art without pressure or judgement
- Reflect on what emerged
You may leave with a clearer sense of how you are feeling, what currently needs your attention and one small intention to carry into the week.
Please arrive five minutes early. To create a more connected and contained group, cameras should be on during the group.
CONTINUE THE PRACTICE
This free session is complete in itself. For those who want to explore further, I will also introduce an optional paid workshop taking place one week later:
Tuesday, 6 October
Participants attending Mindful Art Group will receive a reduced booking rate for 48 hours.
