This week I delivered the last sessions of the 12 week mindful art course at Victoria Park Portsmouth and The Hayward Studio

For 12 weeks we came together, we shared, we laughed (and occasionaly cried!), and of course - we created!

It's been an honour to be able to hold space for a wonderful group of people who have each week challenged themselves to let go of perfection and just be. To each and every one of you - thank you, I have loved ever minute of our sessions together.

I'm currently taking bookings for the next course starting in Victoria Park on 25th September. Book online at www.thinkbigdobigger.co.uk.

Details of the next Warsash course to follow soon - drop me an e-mail at [email protected] to express your interest.

I'm going to be totally straight with you!

Come September the nights will be getting darker, it'll be getting colder and we'll be starting to forget the carefree summer vibes we're feeling right now.

I don't know about you, but my mood always takes a nose dive though the winter months. The combination of less sunshine and the buildup to the C word can often put my motivation for looking after my wellbeing on the back foot.

This is why I'm delivering a new 12 week Mindful Art Course, stating 25th September and running every Thursday evening 6-8pm in The Greenhouse in Victoria Park.

This is your chance to join me and get your winter wellbeing off to a great start by prioritising 'You time' and starting to explore your creative side!

For two hours we'll focus on the process of creating and learn techniques for practicing mindfulness using art and drawing, both in the session and at home. All the sessions are suitable for beginners, and are delivered in a relaxed, no pressure style.

Spaces are already filling up, so grab your spot today at www.thinkbigdobigger.co.uk

🌳 Alfresco art and Forest Bathing! Okay I’m sold!

🤝 On Friday I joined forces with Nicola from The Forest Bathing Company theforestbathingcompany

🪷 We started with a simple mandala tracing exercise before taking a slow guided mindful wander through the woodland. Then we did some mindful eating and before getting creative with shadow art.

🎨 Getting creative outdoors adds a whole new level to the experience of mindful art. The where and when is still in the works, but more outdoor art is 100% coming soon!!

19/07/2025

🥳 This time next week we'll be spending the whole day in the amazing Victoria Park Portsmouth as part of Fringe

🔥 We'll be bringing you "Steam and Stories" on Saturday 26th July. And we'll be back again on Sunday 3rd August with "Wicked Words".

👉 Both of these Black Out Poetry drop in style workshops will be running all day. They're completely free and suitable for all.

Hope to see you all there!

Two weeks ago I tried something new. I discovered the amazing experience of Forest Bathing!

Now before you start conjuring up ideas of sitting in a bath tub in the middle of the forest, I'll start by saying theres no water involved!

Forest bathing is a slow and mindful meander through the forest whilst you 'bathe' in the sights, sounds, smells, feels and tastes of the forest (well maybe not tastes but the chocolate was good!).

Guided through the journey by the very knowledgeable Nicola from The Forest Bathing Company I felt like my senses had been completely awakened to the magic of the natural world...... and so very unbelievably relaxed.

I also got to meet the lovely Helen from Flo’s Circle although despite spending two hours together we didn't get to chat much as we enjoyed the comfortable silence.

Tomorrow I'll be joining Nicola and The Forest Bathing Company again, but this time I'll be taking my box of creativity with me as we join two incredible wellbeing forces together - Nature and Art.

We know they're both good for us so we thought we'd test the hypothesis that if we combine the two together, the sense of positive wellbeing afterwards will be even better!

I can't wait to find out what our 'test subjects' think after the session! What are your thoughts? Combine the two or keep them separate?

How was your weekend?

After visiting a friend and looking longingly at her crafting snug setup in her house, I finally got round to clearing all the junk out of our summer house and turned it into my own creative safe haven…. And then celebrated with a small glass of Pimm’s! 😉

Having a space where you can relax, unwind and just be you is so good for your wellbeing. I’ve spent the weekend doing what I love and now I’m ready to take on the week.

Where’s your safe haven? What’s it look like for you?
