Experience the joy of creative expression. Take the opportunity to relax, nurture yourself and bring mindfulness into your life. I provide a safe and non-judgemental space where it's okay to be exactly as you are, in a group with like-minded people.
Group sessions are also perfect for retreats, birthdays, women's get-togethers.
The sessions can be tailored to the group requirements.
Do I need to know how to paint or draw?
No. This isn’t an art class. It’s about having fun and exploring yourself and your life in a creative and imaginative way.
There is no right or wrong. It’s about your process and what your artwork means for you. It’s a therapeutic and gentle way of supporting your emotional wellbeing.
The aims of the workshops are:
- Reduce stress and anxiety

- Encourage free and healthy expression of emotions instead of keeping them bottled up
- Increase self-esteem and confidence
- Open new doors to finding new possibilities or solutions
- Increase self-awareness

What do we do in a workshop?
Each workshop includes a creative activity to explore a different theme.
It consists of Art Therapy exercises combined with mindfulness and relaxation techniques. Learn to use art-making as a meditative resource for calming and strengthening the mind. You will be able to reflect and share your experience with the group, only if you would like to. You will leave feeling calmer and grounded.
These workshops are fun and a great opportunity to connect with your creative self and to meet other like-minded people. You will be empowered with the tools to discover your own inner resources and strengths and bring healing into your life.

"I have participated in both face-to-face and online art therapy workshops with Iris over the past years.
I simply loooooved them! No talent is needed.
They allowed me to go deep inside and nourish my soul. I felt inspired and with renewed energy afterward for days.
I recently had an unfortunate knee fracture and was able to attend several of Iris' art therapy workshops online.
My injury got new meaning as pain and discomfort became an opportunity to explore my belief system, choices and priorities and healing was just so quick! In a world of uncertainty and challenges, Iris' art therapy allow me to find inner resources for feeling secure and find self-love so that I can in turn be more present for others in my family, work, and social life. The workshops are structured and lead so beautifully, there is always a gorgeous mediation, an infinite variety of art activities, and plenty of time for it and then a voluntary sharing circle with other participants to integrate the experience. And the music accompanying it all is just splendid. Highly recommend you have a try! no matter what is going on in your life: gift yourself an art therapy workshop with Iris!" ~K.S.
