Terrarium Making for Self Care

A creative mini world, infused with the power of self care.

It’s important to know when it is time to slow down, integrate, regroup, and nurture yourself so that you can be present and have energy for all of the new adventures and challenges that await. This workshop can offer a space just for you, to come back to your centre and what is important to you in order to flourish.

WHAT IS IT?

Terrariums are living ornaments, bringing life, meaning and imagination to your environment.

Using the creative process to explore your inner world and what is meaningful, you are invited to create the terrarium to represent what nurtures you. Take home with you a landscape reminder of what sustains you, nurtures you and brings meaning to your life. In a supportive environment, we will curiously explore, create and share.

Abbotsford Convent, 1 St Heliers St, Abbotsford Vic, 3067

The possibilities for learning, expression, and movement in your life are endless.

If you have never tried art therapy, give it a go.

No artistic experience required.
