Sweet mindfulness & creativity! This engaging and interactive experience combines the joy of cookie decorating with the calming practice of mindfulness meditation, creating a unique opportunity for self-expression, relaxation and fun!

In this hands-on workshop, Cookie Canvas, we will explore the art of festive cookie decoration and enjoy the endless creative potential this offers!

We'll provide freshly baked cookies as your canvas, and an assortment of colours, as well as decorating tools for your fondant icing. Then we will support you as you unleash your creativity! We'll even run a mini mindfulness meditation + a tutorial before you begin so you can launch into it with your whole being feeling connected and ready to go :)

You'll learn to roll, shape, and mould the fondant to fit the cookies and decorate up a storm! Whether it's drawing delicate patterns, writing heartfelt messages, or crafting charming shapes, each cookie will become a unique work of edible art.

By the end of the workshop, you'll have a set of stunning cookies adorned with decorative icing, representing your creativity and mindful expression. Enjoy as a treat for yourself or share with loved ones- spreading joy + appreciation for the beauty of food and art!

Amazing as gifts to give for Christmas, this workshop will also equip you with insight and inspiration for endless experiences in creating cookies, for all occasions!

Connect, create and enjoy discovering tools to help you feel empowered, calm and inspired as you ride the waves of being human; while nurturing yourself holistically.

Empowering the whole family (in fun and meaningful ways) to develop their emotional intelligence, innate creativity and unique magic; while supporting their holistic wellbeing, is what we are deeply passionate about at Holistic Humanity!
