Pause, Reflect, Renew: A therapeutic workshop fostering reconnection and renewal

You must give birth to your images

They are the future waiting to be born

Fear not the strangeness you feel

 The future must enter you long before it happens

Just wait for the birth, for the hour of the new clarity

- Rainer Maria Rilke

As we approach the end of 2025, we invite you to come together to slow down and reconnect. Join us for a gently restorative Sunday morning in this workshop designed to help you explore, reflect on, and embrace what matters in your life. 

Workshop Overview: 

In this nurturing space, we will engage in arts-based inquiry and reflective practices to guide you through a process of review and renewal. This workshop is crafted for therapeutic arts practitioners, allied health professionals, and those passionate about cultural, personal, and professional exploration. Join us to pause, reflect, and reset—reconnect with yourself and embark on a journey towards a more fulfilling and intentional life. 

Under the guidance of Dr Jenni Harris, an experienced facilitator and qualified Art Therapist, this workshop offers a supportive environment where you can gain clarity, foster self-compassion, and envision a path forward that resonates with your deeper intentions and refresh skills in arts-based inquiry and reflective practice.

What to Expect: 

Reflective Exploration: Consider where you are now and clarify what matters as you move forward. 

Identify and Reconsider: Identify the elements of your life that are working and those that may be holding you back. Explore creative ways to make conscious choices that better serve and align with you. 

Creative Guidance: Supported through arts-based practices we’ll discover new perspectives and possibilities.
