What does your heart need to feel good? For World Heart Day, we explored this through a simple creative activity. As our facilitator reminded everyone, “Just do, there is no right or wrong way.” Take some me-time, make something, and enjoy the process.

One auntie drew a happy face and shared that helping others makes her happy. Another, while chatting with her friends, suddenly said, “I like money!” 😂

So we said, “Then decorate the mirror with money! Why not?”

She did. 💰😂 Her friend later laughed, “See! Say don’t want to do, in the end also do!”

Sometimes, caring for our hearts can be found in the little things: doing something we enjoy, staying connected, helping others, laughing together, and making time for ourselves.

Because a healthy heart is not just about the physical. Our emotional wellbeing matters too.

Sometimes, what scares us is hard to put into words.

In a recent project with post-18 neurodiverse adults, we explored this through drawing

What scares you?
And what helps when you feel scared?

I’m scared when mommy scold me…

These are the things in my house that brings me comfort

Together, we explored people, places, things and strategies that help when difficult feelings come up.

Because these small things can become important resources we carry into everyday life.

Last session with this caregiver support group today.
As we reflected on the journey we’ve shared together, there was so much gratitude in the room — not just towards one another, but also towards themselves.

Caregiving can often feel invisible. So much is carried quietly, behind the scenes, while holding space for others every single day. Today, we paused to acknowledge how far each person has come — the resilience, the vulnerability, the small shifts, the moments of choosing to still show up even when things felt heavy.

We spoke about gratitude not only as a “thank you” to others, but also as a thank you to self.
For surviving. For trying again. For continuing to care while learning to care for themselves too.

At the end of the session, the group surprised me with a handmade card. I was deeply touched. Sometimes as therapists and facilitators, we hold stories, witness growth, and quietly journey alongside others without expecting anything in return. Moments like these remind me how healing is always relational and mutual in many ways.

Feeling grateful for this group, their trust, honesty, humour, and the space we created together over these sessions

Some moments in workshops stay with me long after the room has emptied. This was one of them.

At the far end of the space, a table caught my eye — every collage image laid out carefully, nothing glued, nothing combined. Just quietly arranged, almost like a small exhibition piece waiting to be understood.

Before art became my work, it was how I made sense of my own stories. Arranging, choosing, placing — it helped me understand what I was carrying, gently, piece by piece. Seeing her process reminded me of why I do this.

Sometimes healing looks like arranging the world into shapes we can live with.

Sometimes it’s creating order when life feels messy.

Sometimes it’s simply making space inside ourselves.

This table was a reminder: healing doesn’t always look dramatic.

Sometimes it looks like a careful layout of images, waiting patiently for the heart to catch up.

It’s not always easy to name what nourishes us. We all need a reminder from time to time; me included. Sometimes we only notice when something inside feels tender, tight, or tired.

This simple reflection invited participants to slow down and listen to the quieter parts of themselves — the ones that ask for gentleness, rest, or attention. The little “plants” the seniors created held those reminders:
what helps them grow, what keeps them steady, what supports both emotional and physical well-being. And of course, they have to make it cute!

A small moment of tending to the heart — the kind we all need from time to time.

One of the quiet truths we see in our work is how much courage it takes to start again. To pause, notice, and say, “This isn’t working for me… and I’m allowed to try differently.”

While creating their trees — symbols of their values, their growth, their inner landscapes — two participants made the brave decision to repaint, reshape, or completely begin anew.

One painted over her entire piece, choosing to grow again from a blank space. Another realised the environment she created for her tree felt too overwhelming, too loud — and she gently transformed it into a calmer place, one where she could actually imagine herself thriving.

These moments always stay with me.
Not because of the art itself, but because of what it represents:
the willingness to notice, to adjust, to choose differently… even when it means letting go of something you’ve already built.

This is growth.
Not perfect, not linear — but honest, alive, and deeply human.

Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is pick up the brush and begin again.

This one was special.
All we needed was a single piece of paper—and suddenly the room was filled with laughter, concentration, and the kind of furrowing of brows that brings people closer.

Some folds went “wrong.”
Some missed a step.
But no one gave up.
Stickers were celebrated like treasures.
And in the middle of all that, something softened.

A reminder that wellness doesn’t need to be complicated, and that joy doesn’t disappear with age — it just needs space to show up.

This is how bridges are built, between teacher and student, between self and other, between what is felt and what can finally be expressed.

Recently, we hosted a 3 hour training session for educators curious about how art can support communication and relationship building in their classrooms.

Instead of talking about the process, we invited them to step into it. Hands on learning, exploring. Markers scattered across the table. Creating with laughter and curiousity. Gentle reflection.

What emerged was powerful:
a shared understanding that art creates space for rapport to grow through presence, witnessing, and shared experience. It gives form to feelings that are hard to say out loud.

Watching educators lean into curiosity, vulnerability, and play reminded me of the same shifts we see in children.

One of my favourite moments in school based group art therapy wasn’t loud or dramatic. It was two children quietly negotiating a moment of tension. “Bro… I think your game is too violent,” another chipped in and said, “maybe try something else.”

It wasn’t criticism, it was healthy open discussion.

A child offering another child a way back into connection. These were the same children who once needed support with emotional regulation and friendships.

Yet here they were—practicing awareness, social skills, boundaries, and empathy in real time.

No adult prompting! Just children learning how to hold each other with honesty and openness.

Art gives them a place to feel safe, to notice, to try again. And in that space, something beautiful grows: community, one small conversation at a time. 🥰

There’s something tender about watching people pause long enough to notice what they’re holding… and what they’re ready to let go of.

In this session, the fan became more than a craft.
It became a reminder that we’re allowed to release what weighs us down and gather what strengthens us — in our bodies, in our emotions, in the quieter parts of our lives.

A small act, but a meaningful one.
Sometimes clarity arrives in the simplest forms.
