WHY TAKE TIME TO CREATE & CONNECT?

- Creative activities nurture our sense of wellbeing. They bring joy and a sense of fun.

- Our imagination is expressed through what we create - and often this brings a sense of release, relaxation and a shift in perspective.

- Creative writing enables us to tune into how we feel and ideas that we want to share. It helps us understand ourselves, each other and the world around us.

- Being creative can boost our sense of self-worth, confidence and enable greater self-expression, all through engaging and uplifting activities!

- We live busy lives...which means we might feel isolated or disconnect from ourselves and others. These sessions offer dedicated time to be, create and to share space and conversation in kind company with other women.

- Time spent in nature supports our wellbeing, soothes the nervous system, enables us to feel more grounded in and supported by life. Nature is generous in its beauty and inspiration - we can draw upon this for our creative activities!
