Making space for ourselves can be difficult in the middle of everyday life…

My Self-Exploration through Expressive Arts retreat is an opportunity to step away from your usual routine and spend three days exploring, creating, reflecting, and connecting.

No previous creative experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to take some time for yourself.

It takes place in the last week of August and there are only a few more spaces remaining!

We often move through familiar tasks without needing to think about them.

This weekend, try using your non-dominant hand for one everyday activity.

Doing something differently naturally slows us down. It invites us to pay attention to something we would usually do on autopilot.

What do you notice as you do this?

I’m looking forward to our Support Programme live session 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠.

One of the things I value about these sessions is the opportunity they provide to bring the month’s topic to life through conversation and shared reflection. This month, we have been exploring the theme of 𝘌𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸, becoming more aware of the parts of ourselves that may have been hidden, rejected, or left unexplored.

Together, we will reflect on what we have discovered over the past few weeks. What new things have we noticed about ourselves? How have the journal prompts, creative projects, and other resources supported our exploration? What has given us hope or confidence in our capacity to grow?

As always, there is no pressure to speak. Some people find great value in sharing, while others prefer to listen and reflect. Both are welcome.

Members will spend time in their smaller groups as well as in the larger community gathering, creating space for meaningful conversations and the reassuring reminder that we are not alone in our struggles, questions, or growth.

I look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday evening.

The Support Programme costs €30/month. Go to www.paulashort.net/support-programme to learn more.
