On Saturday afternoon at Side Gallery, Donna McDonald and I held the inaugural Artful Engagement Workshop. We were testing the waters to see if there is an appetite for engaging in art for individual wellbeing.

Our intention was to share some artful practices to help stay grounded, centred, calm & healthy. Our first group of participants were warm and supportive.

“Loved the opportunity to take time for myself, learn new skills that I will use and be in the company of fabulous people. Very gentle intro to art, loved the take home aspects.” Louise
“Donna & Lisa are gift givers and take you to a creative and enriching space. Very interesting process and I made some art!” Johanna
“Great Workshop! Perfect way to start the wind down of 2020… Reflective, at the same time learning some new concepts linking to language. Loved learning ‘mark making’ concepts - many thanks.” Matt

It was easy to work alongside Donna as we both have a focus on nurturing our individual and collective wellbeing, collaborating to create supportive art activities, that are rooted in neuroscience, to navigate our personal stories.

If you are interested in attending a future workshop, please let us know.
