Everyone needs a corner where their heart can rest. But in a city that never stops, how do we create that sense of safety for ourselves?

This afternoon is a gentle art therapy workshop where you’ll design a “safe place” inside a small box. Using collage materials, textures, and personal imagination, participants will construct their own miniature sanctuary—an external object to hold an inner feeling. Alongside the making, we’ll share tea and conversation, slowing down enough to notice what safety means for each of us.

This is not about artistic skill. It’s not about making something “beautiful.” It’s about building a tactile reminder that safety can be created, carried, and chosen, even in the busiest of times.

Come with an open heart. Leave with a safe place you can hold in your hands, and perhaps with a new sense of calm to carry back into your daily life.

In collaboration with 7s Art — a creative space dedicated to art therapy and mindful expression.
