☕🎨 Coffee Painting Workshop (Welcoming 2026) As we begin 2026, this workshop invites you to slow down, reflect, and ease into the new year with intention. Coffee painting is a gentle, sensory experience that uses the aroma and texture of coffee to help calm the mind and body. The scent of coffee stimulates relaxation from the nose to the brain, encouraging us to pause, be present, and allow the healing process to begin. No art experience is needed. This session is about the process — not perfection. Come as you are, take your time, and enjoy a moment of calm creativity as we reflect and start the year mindfully. 🎨 What to Expect Guided coffee painting session suitable for all skill levels Relaxing, mindful activity to help you reflect on your starting 2026 experiences Art materials provided A chance to take home your very own coffee-scented artwork as a keepsake ☕ Why Coffee Painting? Coffee painting is more than an art activity — it is a gentle form of therapy. The aroma of coffee stimulates relaxation from the nose to the brain, creating a calming effect that helps you slow down and be present. As you paint, you are invited to pause, breathe, and allow the healing process to begin. A perfect way to unwind while reflecting on the year. 📅 Event Details 📍 Venue: BLOCK71 71 Ayer Rajah Crescent, #03-25.
