Combining expressive art with music and mindful meditation. A journey into what’s hiding within us, so that we may release, relax & energize.

Welcome to “Beneath the Layers” – a transformative creative arts and meditation workshop designed to guide you on a journey of self-discovery and liberation.

Over the course of our lives, we accumulate layers of emotions, experiences, and patterns that no longer serve our well-being. This workshop invites you to peel back those layers, explore the depths within, and release what no longer resonates with your true self.

Guiding you into a meditative state…connecting with music…with colours, shapes and movement… you’ll soon realise how you can let go of things that you might not even find words for.

And, whilst this is all going on, you may well feel how this ignites an innate creativity, helping you to discover new things about yourself that bring about inspiration and joy.

FEEL the colours, music, tastes and textures… release through them as I guide you.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Through the fusion of creative expression and meditation, I invite you to embark upon an exploration into your ‘inner landscapes’, that will empower you to

shed burdens

break free from repetitive cycles, and

emerge lighter and renewed, as well as

feel more connected to your authentic self.

MINDFULNESS MEDITATION MIXED WITH CREATIVE EXPRESSION AND MUSIC
Experience the synergy of mindfulness and meditation as we delve into carefully chosen guided visualisations to help you connect with the core of your being

Since the art of meditation is to be ‘in the here and now’ – we will begin the ‘slowing down’ process by focusing on something simple like your breath and movements of your body.

The process of creating art is really quite similar – focusing only on the present moment.. noticing the feel of the tool you are using when it glides across the paper, how your hand adjusts to drawing different shapes and how the colours you use resonate with your energy.

Through guided artistic exercises, you will be able to tap into your creativity in a way you may not have done before; enabling you to paint, draw, or sculpt the layers that have shaped your journey.

SHEDDING BURDENS AND BREAKING FREE

As you begin to identify and uncover patterns or burdens that hav repeated themselves in your life, you’ll also begin to gain insights as to what you will want to shed.

EMERGE LIGHTER AND RENEWED

With guidance for creative expression and meditation… as you discover the strength within to let go of what hinders you… you’ll be able to step into a refreshed version of yourself; unburdened and ready to embrace new possibilities.

FEEL MORE CONNECTED

It’s amazing how one exercise such as this in identifying and ‘peeling back those layers’ can ‘clear the clutter’ in your mind… ‘lift the fog’ and re-introduce you to your true self. This will be a time to celebrate, connect with other participants – share insights that you wish to, and finish with a newfound sense of freedom, clarity, and inspiration.

DO I NEED TO BE AN ARTIST?
No experience is required. The great thing about combining these two life-enhancing practices is that it doesn’t matter whether you are a ‘pro’ or a complete novice. Whilst there will be guidance in both modalities, the focus will be on self-reflection, connecting with colours, shapes and textures …allowing a flow of releasing and pleasing energy to emerge through these.

SUPPORT ALONG THE WAY
Ultimately, this will be a personal journey for you but you will also have my support as well as that of other participants – so my hope is that as each we progress through each part, you will be inspired to further explore your own creative expression. Use it as a therapeutic tool you can return to time and time again, so that you can experience a greater state of calm and also strengthen your awareness of the present moment.

SETTING:
A safe and nurturing home environment that emits the balancing and harmonising ambience of the energy-healing art therein. Set in a semi-rural area, close to woodland and open fields.
This retreat day is especially designed to serve just a small group of ladies who wish to be gently guided, nourished with a healing environment and who like having a personal touch to their day.

Warm, comfortable and cozy… yet you will notice a sense of light – not just coming in from the outside but from the atmosphere inside too. You will have the freedom to go between the rooms and have space for yourself whilst enjoying meditative and mindful moments.
