Create Yourself Calm

03/06/2026

We're so pleased to bring a virtual creative health session for parent carers with Brave . When you're a carer it's not easy to attend in person sessions but online gives someone more flexibility to spend some time for themselves.
This project was made possible through the Health Inequalities Funding.

We are excited to be partnering with to bring parent carers a beautiful virtual art and wellbeing session from the comfort of your own home.

Everything you need to take part will be sent directly to you through the post, so all you need to do is sign up, log on, relax and enjoy some creative time for yourself.

Create Yourself Calm are a creative health provider passionate about supporting mental health and wellbeing through art, creativity and mindfulness. Their workshops are designed for everyone, whether you’re a complete beginner or already love being creative.

The session will be fully led by the wonderful team Sue and Lindsay at Create Yourself Calm and together they create a calming, welcoming space that encourages relaxation, creativity and self-care.

This is your reminder that taking time for yourself matters too.

Spaces are limited and booking is essential.

Brentwood Art Trail 2026 starts today and we're very proud to have 2 collaborative pieces from our Community Creatives groups being displayed at Pop Up Gallery.

Over the past two months the groups have been weaving and creating collages of words that are important to them and these were then combined to create the collaborative pieces.

We loved how it's turned out and hope you get the chance to come along and see them. The Pop-Up Gallery is open until the end of June. Collect an art trail map from there to see what else is on display - including one of our Directors work on display at

The Community Creatives workshops have been funded by the UKSPF l
to bring together the local community with creativity and mindfulness to support overall wellbeing.

Embracing the beginners mind and the nner child with bilateral drawing.
Using both hands means that you can't think of anything else while letting your hands move around the page. You're also using both sides of the brain which can help you feel a little more in balance.
The group then enjoyed using the tempera sticks for more playful creations.
