The Healing Project workshops - session one

The first workshop, held on Saturday 10th January, went really well and had a calm, relaxing atmosphere throughout. Attendees took part in group activities where they shared stories about patterns and textiles from their own cultures. This was a lovely way to begin the session, allowing people to get comfortable, warmed up, and encouraging conversations between people who hadn’t met before.

We also took part in some light drawing activities, including tracing patterns from different cultures as well as freehand copying. Many attendees shared that this process allowed them to slow down and be more present. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, where spare moments are often filled with social media or endless to-do lists, this drawing activity offered a rare opportunity to pause, focus, and enjoy a moment of calm. 

We hope to see you in the future sessions. See under ‘Projects’ for how to get involved.
