This mindful and nurturing workshop invites you to slow down and reconnect with yourself through a blend of art and reflective writing. Using both words and images, you’ll explore gentle ways to express thoughts and emotions—allowing each to support and deepen the other.
Held with care and sensitivity, and informed by my background in psychology, this session offers a safe, non-judgmental space where there is no pressure to perform or “get it right.” We’ll begin with a short guided drawing exercise to help you feel grounded and present, before moving into intuitive art-making that encourages completion rather than perfection.
You’ll explore a variety of mixed media techniques such as inks, paints, stamps, stencils, and collage. These tactile processes help engage the senses, often easing overthinking and creating a sense of calm. Alongside the art, I’ll share gentle prompts and simple templates designed to support a healthier, more positive mindset—especially helpful when you’re not sure what to write.
The small group size (maximum four participants) creates a quiet, focused atmosphere where you can move at your own pace and feel supported throughout.
This workshop is for you if you:
Feel mentally busy, stressed, or overwhelmed
Worry about making mistakes or breaking a page
Don’t consider yourself artistic but want to explore creativity
Struggle with negative thoughts or emotions
Feel unsure what to write in a journal
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with completed art journal pages and simple practices you can return to at home for grounding, clarity, and gentle self-care. All materials and refreshments are provided, and you’re welcome to bring your own sketchbook if you wish- that will give you a discount! No sketchbook? No worries. You can take home your completed pages and later add them to your own journal whenever it feels right.
What you'll get
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have your own art journal pages (or pages to add to your journal later), practical prompts, and an easy process you can continue at home. You’ll leave feeling calmer, more grounded, and more confident in using art and words as tools for self-care.
Knowledge required
Beginner friendly.
What to bring
Anything like an apron to cover themselves as it can be messy. Your own sketchbook if you have one (that will give you a discount).

My name is Chihiro, and I'm a Japanese artist specializing in alcohol ink art and line drawing. In addition to my creative pursuits, I'm also a mother of three children (and two cats) and a volunteer worker. What started as a hobby has evolved into a passion for me, especially as I discovered the therapeutic benefits of art-making amidst the busyness and stress of everyday life.
