Welcome to Awaken & Create, a mindful drawing workshop at Colour and SENSE Studio in Hackney Wick—a sanctuary designed to help you reconnect with your inner child and awaken your inner creative. Curated by contemporary artist Mars Leon, this experience will guide you through a sensory, meditative journey where creativity flows effortlessly.
What to expect:
  • Sensory-sensitive studio: The space is intentionally designed to engage all your senses—soft lighting, calming scents, and peaceful ambient sounds—creating a safe, nurturing environment that invites relaxation and creativity.
  • Card reading and intention setting: We’ll begin with a card reading to set a powerful, personal intention for your creative process, helping to guide the energy and flow of your experience.
  • Guided meditation and visualistion: Mars will lead you through meditative breathing and visualisation exercises that open you to a deeper connection with your inner creative, allowing your intuition and artistic flow to lead the way.
  • Responding to the flow: Throughout the workshop, you’ll be encouraged to respond to your intuitive flow—letting go of any judgement and allowing your creativity to unfold naturally as you draw.
  • Processing and finding meaning through colour and form: As you work, you’ll be guided to reflect on the meaning behind the marks and colours you choose. Using colour as an analogy, we’ll explore how the tones and shapes in your drawing might reflect your inner emotional landscape, helping you connect with deeper layers of insight.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or experienced artist, this workshop is designed to meet you where you are. Mars will provide guidance and techniques to support your creative journey and help you express yourself authentically.
This workshop offers a space to slow down, reconnect with your inner child, and discover new layers of meaning through creative expression. It’s about responding to your own intuition, experiencing the joy of drawing, and finding personal insights along the way.
What you'll get
Everything you need to explore your creativity is included. You’ll receive a thoughtfully curated kit featuring high-quality drawing paper, artist-grade pencils, vibrant coloured markers, and other essential art supplies. Best of all, you’ll get to take these materials home with you to keep your creative spark alive long after the workshop ends.
Knowledge required
None Required!: This workshop is open to everyone, regardless of experience. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced artist, you’ll be guided step-by-step through the creative process, allowing you to tap into your intuition and create freely without any pressure.
What to bring
  • The most important thing you’ll need is a willingness to explore, let go of expectations, and embrace your creative flow. This is your time to connect with your inner artist in a judgement-free space.
  • Wear something you feel relaxed in and don’t mind getting a little creative with. Art can get a bit messy, so choose clothes that allow you to move freely and comfortably.
  • While the card reading and intention-setting at the start will guide you, you may wish to bring an intention, affirmation, or question that you'd like to explore during the workshop. This can be a helpful starting point for your creative process.
