Recently Sue was delighted to have the opportunity to attend a weekend retreat through Bas-Arts-Index giving her valuable time and space to focus on developing her own creative practice. Stepping away from everyday routines and immersing themselves in creativity was both inspiring and restorative.

As part of the retreat, Sue also had the privilege of leading a creative mindfulness session in the beautiful St Peter-on-the-Wall Chapel, one of the oldest churches in the country. Surrounded by such rich history and peaceful surroundings, participants worked with natural pebbles gathered from the nearby beach, creating thoughtful and meaningful responses by 'taking a line for a walk'.

Grateful for the experience, the connections made, and the opportunity to continue exploring how creativity can support calm, reflection and wellbeing.

It’s always inspiring to spend time connecting with our local community and creating space for meaningful conversations.

Today we held a drop-in creative session at Eastgate Shopping Centre , giving people the opportunity to come together, get creative, and talk openly about topics that matter, including friendship, loneliness, grief and mental health.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat, shared their experiences, or simply took a moment to connect and get creative. These conversations help remind us that no one has to face life's challenges alone.

As Eastgate shared, their October campaign, “For Everyone, Every Day,” focuses on “connection, conversation, community and wellbeing around Mental Health Awareness Month.” We are proud to be part of these important conversations and to support a community where everyone feels seen, heard and valued.

Today we had the pleasure of delivering one of our creative mindfulness sessions for the wonderful cancer support group, Tea and Talk at Toby's with Saint Francis Hospice .

Established in September 2016, the group provides a welcoming and supportive space for people living with cancer, as well as their families, to connect with others, share experiences, and learn about the services and support available to them.

Through creativity and mindfulness, we explored ways to slow down, reduce stress, and create moments of calm and self-expression. It was inspiring to see everyone embrace the session and take some time for themselves in such a supportive environment.

A huge thank you to Toby Carvery Brentwood for kindly providing the venue and refreshments, helping to create a warm and comfortable space for the group to come together.

We are always grateful for opportunities to support wellbeing through creativity and mindfulness, and it was an honour to spend time with such a resilient and inspiring group.
