Creative Sundays for Wellbeing - Colors, Emotions and Creative Visioning
Creative Sundays for Wellbeing - Colors, Emotions and Creative Visioning
A creative exploration, using a mix of artistic materials to express emotions freely- perfect for everyone craving a slower Sunday. IMPORTANT: Registration is necessary and done through Eventbrite: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/creative-sunday-for-wellbeing-colors-emotions-and-creative-visioning-tickets-1983191544295?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/creative-sunday-for-wellbeing-colors-emotions-and-creative-visioning-tickets-1983191544295?aff=oddtdtcreator) This final Creative Sunday session invites you into an immersive, playful and reflective creative experience where colors, emotions and imagination come together. Through a mix of **art-therapy inspired practices, theater games, and experimental creative exercises** (such as collage, sculpture, and intuitive making), participants are gently guided through both **individual exploration** and **collective creation**. This workshop is an opportunity to connect with your emotional world through colors, movement and form, and to explore creative visioning in a supportive, non-judgmental space. No artistic experience needed, only curiosity and openness. **You do not need to have attended the previous workshops in the mini-series.** This session is opened to everyone, wheather you are joining the Creative Sunday for the first time, or returning to close the journey together. Come as you are, create freely, and leave with new insights, creative inspiration and a sense of connection. **What to expect:** * Expression of creativity and experimentation freely in a safe and supportive environment * Relaxing and restorative moments and have some fun * Reflect in a creative way on wellbeing * Make new friends and build social connections This workshop is part of **Creative Sunday for Wellbeing**\- a mini series of creative workshops designed to gently reconnect with play\, expression\, and curiosity\. Through simple exercises, creative prompts inspired by theater games, and the use of a wide range of artistic materials, participants are invited to explore creativity in an open and supportive space. **This is not art therapy and not an art class-** there is no pressure to perform, produce, or "be good" at anything. Instead, the focus is on experimentation, imagination, and personal exploration. While the sessions are not therapeutic, they might offer moments of reflection, renewed energy, and a fresh perspective on wellbeing through creative practices. The topics of the workshops are the following: 25.1.2026 The Art of Slowing Down 1.2.2026 Finding your Flow 8.2.2026 Nature as Nurture 15.2.2026 Words for Wellbeing **22.2.2026 Colors, Emotions and Creative Visioning** WHEN & WHERE: 22nd of February at 15.30-17.30 Valo tila, Lapinlahden Lähde Lapinlahdenpolku 8 00180 Helsinki (How to find us: When entering through the cafÊ to the gallery hallway, turn left and head up the stairs. Valo tila is through the first door on the right hand side.) Meet Giulia Lepori Giulia Lepori is an Italian sociologist whose work lives in the intersection of mental health, art, and creative exploration. During her university years in Turin, she co-founded an artistic laboratory that became a living space for experimentation, dialogue, and collective creation. Over seven years, she worked across multiple artistic languages, curating workshops, exhibitions, courses, and public events. Her path led her to one-year art therapy training grounded in psychodynamic approach, deepening her interest in creativity as a tool for care, expression, and transformation. Giulia has facilitated creative workshops with adults, adolescents, children, and people with disabilities, shaping spaces where art becomes a shared process rather than a finished product. In 2024, she brought her practice to Helsinki, organizing her first creative workshop in collaboration with MIELI Without Borders during Mental Health Art Week. The workshop is a collaboration between @mieliwithoutborders and @miitti1

Post-Mardi Gras Cajun Food & Wine Night
Post-Mardi Gras Cajun Food & Wine Night
Join us for a fun night of Cajun food and not-Cajun wine in Tribeca at Filé Gumbo Bar. They are located at 275 Church Street, across from the Roxy Hotel. We're one week late to celebrate Mardi Gras but no worries, it's always a party at Filé Gumbo Bar. Anyone who has dined here has been surprised & delighted by how authentic and delicious their food is. Menu items cover many NOLA favorites like crawfish bread, pimento cheese, fried seafood, bbq shrimp, gumbo and the best étouffée I’ve had outside of my own (from Paul Prudhomme’s recipe). They even have beignets for dessert! [See the full menu here](https://www.filenyc.com/menus?y_source=1_MjY4Mjg1MjItNzE1LWxvY2F0aW9uLm1lbnVfdXJs). We will enjoy 5 bottles of wine—1 sparkling white, 1 white & 3 reds—for 8 people at a cost of $49 per person including corkage. Just a reminder of our usual rules: \*\* The cost of this event is $49 and is for the cost of the wines and corkage only. NOTE: **Meetup has started charging a "Partner Fee" that is above and in addition to the listed price of the event. It comes to approximately $4 more for each RSVP. You will see this charge when you complete your rsvp and pay for the event. Sorry! Meetup+ members are exempt from this charge.** You will also have to pay the cost of your food (plus 33% for tax and tip). Please order at least two courses (i.e. a main dish and either appetizer or dessert) for your dinner. There are very few restaurants that allow us to bring our own wine for a zero or reduced corkage fee. We must be good guests to encourage the restaurant to continue to be generous to us. Also, please refrain from wearing cologne or perfume to dinner since this interferes with the guests' enjoyment of the wine. Please read and understand the group's cancellation policy. If you take spot, then cancel, and no one else takes the spot, you will not receive a refund or credit. No refunds or credits will be given for no-shows or late cancellations (unless someone else takes your spot). All cancellations are subject to a $6 service fee. **Please use public transportation - NO DRINKING AND DRIVING!** **The Wines:** **Ca' del Bosco Franciacorta Brut Cuvée Prestige 48th edition Extra Brut NV, 12.5% ABV, $44** As someone who's always been indifferent to Prosecco and thought it was the only dry sparkling white in Italy, what a thrill it was to discover this crisp Lombardian sparkler in Milan last summer. This bottle is not the one I enjoyed there, but it's just as good and is easily available in NYC. Eataly Vino: The Ca’ del Bosco Cuvee Prestige is a blend of the best Chardonnay (75%), Pinot Nero (15%) and Pinot Bianco (10%) grapes that are vinified separately and blended with 20% of the best past vintages. Ca’ del Bosco goes above and beyond the required 18 months of less aging by almost a year with 28 months of refinement. This is textbook Franciacorta, perfect to toast with some Prosciutto and Parmigiano-Reggiano. **Heinz Eifel Shine Rheinhessen, 100% Riesling 2021, 10.5% ABV, $14** Instead of buying an Alsatian Riesling for this dinner I thought I’d try an Australian one, then read the latter's dry style and vibrant acidity wouldn’t go with Cajun. That’s when I found this bottle already at home: a German off-dry bottle from the Rheinhessen in Germany. Its “slight sweetness and lower alcohol content are ideal for taming the heat of spicy dishes like jambalaya or crawfish étouffée. The fruit-forward profile (white peach, grapefruit, lemon, pineapple, mineral tones) provides a cooling contrast to spicy foods, Asian cuisine, and fried dishes like schnitzel.” **Les Vignerons d’Estézargues Carambouille Vin de France red blend\* 2023, 13.5% ABV, $17** *\*70% grenache, 10% syrah, 9% cinsault, 6% carignan, 4% mourvèdre, 1% counoise grown in rolled pebbles and clay soil, aged 6 months in concrete tank.* After glancing over the NYTimes list of 20 Wines for the Thanksgiving Table 2025, this one stood out. Eric Asimov wrote, “Côte du Rhônes, generally red blends from the Southern Rhône Valley, used to be classic bistro wines. But over the years they have generally gotten bigger, heftier and less interesting, and they sort of fell off my radar. This bottle, from a quality-minded cooperative, is a throwback to those old Côte du Rhônes, easygoing, lively and pure.” **Jean-Clande LAPALU Brouilly Vielles Vignes 2023, 100% Gamay, 12.5% ABV, $38** A hit at the first Cajun dinner, this wine will be served again albeit the 2023. Flatiron: His Brouilly Vieilles Vignes comes from parcels of organically farmed, deeply rooted vines, some over 60 years old, planted in the granite-rich soils of Beaujolais’ southernmost cru. The 2023 vintage continues Lapalu’s tradition of expressive, terroir-driven winemaking, offering a Brouilly that is both joyful and surprisingly structured. Bursting with wild raspberry, blackberry, and violets, the wine is supple yet precise, with a stony minerality that lends definition. There’s a gentle grip to the tannins, a reminder that this is no simple bistro Gamay, but a wine with real presence and aging potential. A soulful, captivating Brouilly from one of the region’s greats.” **Ridge Zinfandel Jimsomare 2021, 100% Zinfandel, Monte Bello Vineyard, 13.9% ABV, $43** CT 90.5, WA 93+ points, bottle courtesy of Stephen: “The lively 2021 Zinfandel Jimsomare is perfumed and lifted on the nose with boysenberry, bramble, peach skin and hoisin aromas. The palate is equal parts plush and spry, lined with lip-smacking acidity and detailed, chalky tannins on the finish. At 13.9% alcohol, this is a bright, energetic bottling of Jimsomare that should be a delight to follow into the next decade and beyond."
