SUMMARY:Unwind & Create: A Friday Night Art Journalling Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A Friday night creative reset. Leave with your very own art journal and prompts. \nWhat if your Friday night looked different this week? \nInstead of the usual routine\, spend 90 minutes in a cozy downtown studio with art supplies\, guided prompts\, and a small group — making something with your hands and checking in with how you’re actually feeling. \nArt journalling is backed by mental health research as a way to reduce stress\, process emotions\, and build self-awareness. In this workshop\, you’ll learn how to start your own practice — and you’ll leave with a journal you can keep using long after you walk out the door. \nHere’s what you’ll experience:\n→ Simple\, accessible techniques such as collage\, colour\, mark-making (nothing intimidating)\n→ Guided creative prompts designed to spark honest self-reflection\n→ A warm\, no-pressure space where the process matters more than the product\n→ Your own art journal to take home\, plus the tools to make this a regular practice \nLimited to 8 participants. No art experience needed. All materials provided. Just bring yourself. \nLed by Hanna Kaye Verhagen\, MC\, DVATI\, BA\,CCC\, Art Therapist & Certified Canadian Counsellor. Learn more at hannakaye.com \nHanna creates safe\, empowering spaces for people to feel seen and supported.” & “Hanna is welcoming\, calming\, and empowers people to embrace their creativity to benefit their mental health.” \nAfter booking you’ll receive a brief consent form via JaneApp.
