Over dit evenement
Do you often give so much that you forget what you need?
Do you anticipate rush toward the end of year, and feel unsure how to take care of yourself?
Join this creative workshop to rediscover what you genuinely want to give - and receive - during this holiday season.
No prior art experience or skills are needed - just a curious heart.
* WHAT TO EXPECT *
This workshop offers a soft landing in the busy-ness of the holiday period.
Many of us feel stretched at this time of year: too much giving, and little time to check in with ourselves. This workshop is a gentle space that helps you slow down, listen inward and reconnect with what matters.
Through intuitive art-making and guided reflection, you will explore the inner movements of giving and receiving within yourself, and discover what wants more space in your life this season - so the holidays feel lighter and more grounded.
No need to have any art skills or talent to benefit from this journey! It’s all about the process.
You will be welcomed in the cosy creative nook of art shop Artools. We will ease in with a short introduction and some tips, then move into a two-part intuitive art exploration (with a break), pause for some gentle journaling, and close with a supportive sharing circle.
You can expect to leave with:
✨ a stronger connection to your needs
✨ insights to better navigate the holiday period
✨ a feeling of warmth, soft creativity, and inner understanding
✨ a symbolic artwork to support your intentions

* THE POWER OF ART EXPLORATIONS *
When we say “art”, we mean free-form, intuitive expression - nothing to do with talent, skill or being an artist.
Art-making is a gentle way to connect with yourself, often reaching what lives beneath the surface. When you play with colours, materials and shapes, you can access parts of yourself that don’t always express themselves through words. By observing what you create, you can begin to look for meaning. Your creative choices and reactions can reveal emotions, needs or insights that usually stay out of sight.
Making art can support emotional release, reduce stress, and increase your self-awareness, confidence and inner calm.
No experience needed - it's all about the process, not the result.
* WHO IS THIS FOR *
This workshop is for anyone who wants a moment of calm and reflection in the busy holiday season. If you often give more than you receive, want to understand your needs more clearly, or feel curious about your inner landscape, this space is for you.
It is ideal for those who enjoy creative processes and personal growth.
Maybe you simply want to (re)connect with your creativity, or try something new.
No art skills or experience are needed - only openness and curiosity.
* WHAT TO BRING *
- A journal & pen
- Any personal art materials you’d like to use (optional)
- An open and curious heart
* ABOUT THE FACILITATOR *
Valerie is passionate about creating gentle spaces where others can slow down, listen inward and give expression to what lies inside, through both movement and creativity. With a background in yoga and expressive arts, she guides intuitive processes that invite curiosity, presence, and self-trust.
She has always been drawn to the connection between body, mind, and spirit - from practicing karate and dance in her early years in Belgium, to discovering yoga in her teens and returning to it later as a source of softness, grounding, and truth.
She believes that creativity belongs to everyone. Just like movement, it can help bring the unconscious conscious and reconnect us with our natural wisdom. Through her work, she hopes to guide you toward a deeper connection with yourself - so you can move through life with more ease, authenticity, and joy.
