Description

A deeper, more transformative version of the creative wellbeing taster, this 90-minute workshop gives teams the space to slow down, reconnect, and experience the psychological benefits of creative exploration in a supportive group environment.

Drawing on my 20-year background in high-pressure corporate retail and my own lived experience of burnout, I guide participants through a structured journey that blends grounding techniques, tactile creative exercises, and gentle reflection. The aim is not to “make art” but to help busy minds move from overwhelm into clarity, curiosity, and presence.

Participants explore mark-making, texture-building, and intuitive composition using simple materials. These tactile processes help quiet internal noise, increase focus, and encourage new ways of thinking — making this a powerful workshop for teams navigating change, stress, or creative stagnation.

What I Will Offer

  • A grounding introduction and intention-setting exercise

  • Guided creative exploration using accessible materials

  • Techniques that help participants slow down and think more clearly

  • Space for optional group reflection and shared insights

  • Practical tools teams can take back into their day-to-day workflow

  • A calm, supportive atmosphere that encourages experimentation without pressure

About the Host

I bring over 20 years of experience from a fast-paced retail career, where I worked at senior levels in buying and leadership roles — an environment that demanded constant decision-making, pressure, and performance. Like many professionals, I reached a point of burnout, and it was through rediscovering my creativity that everything shifted. Returning to creative practice didn’t just change my career path; it soothed an overworked mind, restored clarity, and reconnected me to a sense of purpose and presence I hadn’t realised I’d lost. Today, I bridge both worlds — understanding the realities of corporate life while embodying the power of creativity as a practical, grounding tool for wellbeing. I bring warmth, emotional intelligence, and lived experience to my work, creating spaces where people feel safe to slow down, reconnect, and think differently.
