Step into a gentle, welcoming space designed for mothers and their little ones to breathe, release, and paint from the heart. This workshop invites you to set aside perfectionism and expectation, and to explore an intuitive, expressive approach to abstract painting that honours the messy, beautiful reality of motherhood.
What to expect
Painting from the heart helps dissolve perfectionism and the pressure to “do it right.” You’ll be trusting your intuition.
A relaxed, nonjudgmental creative art session with your baby/babies playing, napping, feeding, or cuddled close.
No prior art experience required.
Calming, simple warm-ups to reconnect with your body and breath before you paint.
Guided exercises that help you access emotions and intention through colour, mark-making, and movement rather than rules or just technique.
Prompts to release what no longer serves you and to plant creative intentions for 2026 bringing clarity to what you want to welcome this year.
Time for reflection and optional sharing, supported by a compassionate facilitator and other mothers who understand the highs and lows of parenting.
This is creativity that fits your life, not away from it.
Creative practice boosts calm, builds connection (to yourself and to other mothers), and creates space to hold both grief and hope as you set intentions for the year ahead
What you’ll leave with
One or more original abstract pieces made intuitively by you.
A clear, gentle intention for 2026 and practical tools to revisit it through creative prompts.
A quieted inner critic and renewed access to your creative voice.
A sense of community and self-care that you can return to, painting beyond the session.

What you’ll experience
Expressive drawing techniques: Simple, freeing approaches to sketching florals that prioritise movement and emotion over accuracy. Perfect for mums who feel stuck or overly critical of their work.
Relaxing watercolour methods: Easy washes, layered blooms, and soft blending that celebrate happy accidents and imperfection. No prior experience required.
Baby-friendly format: Short, flexible exercises and a relaxed schedule that welcomes feeding, settling, and cuddles. Bring your baby and stay present without pressure.
Guided prompts for letting go: Mindful art practices and small rituals designed to shift focus from “doing it right” to enjoying the sensory process.
Supportive community: A calm, nonjudgmental space where others share the same juggling act — connection, encouragement, and gentle feedback.
Why it helps
Reduces perfectionism: Repetition of playful, low-stakes exercises rewires expectations and builds confidence through doing rather than critiquing.
Promotes self-care: Time for creative flow is restorative. The workshop doubles as a mini retreat to recharge emotionally and creatively.
Fits mum life: Baby-friendly pacing means you don’t have to choose between care and creativity. Leave with simple techniques you can repeat at home in short bursts.
