A Rambling Curiosity

Pick up a pen, write out a prompt, don't think, don't stop, let a stream of words flow out.

Every fortnight, explore an inspiring topic, engage in free flowing conversations, and write freely. Each session, I will introduce a different topic through sharing source materials to ignite our conversations and generate prompts for writing. This will support participants to build a freewriting practice.

Any level of experience is welcome. The focus is on trusting the process of writing freely,

Post writing, participants will be invited to share reflections on the process. There is no pressure to share any writing during the session. If anyone is really keen to share something, there will be an opportunity at the end.

Connecting with Intuitive Self-Expression
Jun
28

Connecting with Intuitive Self-Expression

There are so many barriers to meaningful artistic expression. Perhaps you were told at school that you weren’t ‘artistic’ enough, or it’s felt overwhelming to even start, or you simply haven’t had the time.

This workshop invites participants to explore creativity through curiosity, play and self-reflection. In a non-judgemental, welcoming space, guided creative and mindful exercises will be used to help access your creative intuition.

Throughout this workshop, we will notice the often unspoken rules, expectations, and judgments we place on ourselves during the creative process. We will workshop ways to compassionately make art alongside these rules in a way that feels fully our own. The workshop focuses on developing a relationship with one’s intuition. Participants will be invited to trust impulses, follow curiosity, embrace uncertainty, let go of expectations, and respond to what emerges in the creative process, ’mistakes’ and all.

No artistic experience is necessary to attend. This workshop is for anyone interested in connecting with their creativity, cultivating self-trust, and learning to play through intuition.

Facilitated by HCPC registered Art Therapists: Anna Kamperou & Flo Gordon
