Emotional Resilience Through Artistic Expression
Check out our 'Gallery' below!
We enjoyed a painting session where we were free to create at our own pace, while learning powerful techniques for emotional well-being from our special guest speaker, Kat Hudson, a professional art therapist.
Whether we were experienced painters or new to the canvas, the evening was a perfect blend of relaxation, self-expression, and meaningful connection.

Event Overview:
This wasn’t your typical Sip & Paint—this workshop emphasised the healing power of art. By creating in an unguided, freeform way, we discovered how art can serve as a personal tool for processing emotions and enhancing emotional resilience.
Kat provided expert tips and insights to help us incorporate creative practices into our lives, supporting our mental and emotional well-being long after the event.
