ReSource Yourself Workshops

Two free online Art for Wellbeing Workshops with Sally Swain.

How might you Source and Re-Source yourself? What life-affirming joys live in the core of you?

Following on from the July art exhibition Embers, Epicorm: Art of the Eurobodalla, in which art-making is recognised as a powerful source of healing, Sally Swain is offering two tailored free ‘Art for Wellbeing’ Workshops via Zoom.

Even if you don’t feel particularly creative, mark-making can support and enhance your wellbeing. Carefully designed art-making practices can assist you to calm your whole being, tune in to your senses, access strengths, remember what you love, find wisdom and move towards regeneration.

In a safe, non-judgmental environment, with Sally’s gentle guidance, play with art materials to tune in to a source of joy; to explore, express and cultivate the growth of what matters.

Our simple, accessible meditations and art strategies aim to help you connect with yourself, your creativity and a sense of community.

You don’t have to be ‘good’ at art, or know what you are going to create. You only need to bring:
- your self, however you are feeling on the day
- openness to playing and exploring
- basic art materials, ideally including a few colours
- preferably a laptop (but can be a phone) in a private space.

By completing either one or both of the workshops, you can expect to: 
- have authentically connected with self, creativity and others
- gained experiential knowledge of how art-making can foster wellbeing
- continue your regenerative work and play with tangible, practical resources and tools.

Bookings are open to people over 18 years old.
