This is a beautiful opportunity to be a part of a fully funded Creative workshop community. A space to connect, creatively explore and play. Getting curious about process and experimentation … There is time gifted to access an art studio and materials … the gift of time to self to be to play to create to connect to have a brew and breathe.

I stated supporting her as part of her EHCP, to support connection and creativity to increase self confidence. Well we’ve done that together and so this post celebrates C. It celebrates cats and connection, creativity and the artist Louis Wain

CreativeBeing programme is launching in Nailsea at the Tithe Barn.

Starting this Friday 25th September

Workshops will be weekly on Fridays, running 1pm-3pm.

I have been working with Charlie ActiveBeing for 4 years. I am now so proud say that I am also a director of ActiveBeing.

Active Being exists to actively improve the mental health and wellbeing of women, through nature, creativity and connection. We ultimately want a world with positive mental health and wellbeing for all.

We do this through our Active and Creative programmes, giving individuals the opportunity and space to connect, communicate, find balance and an acceptance of their inner self. We empower women to develop their self esteem, confidence and tools for self-care.

These groups are for women - we create a safe, accessible space for women to connect with themselves, with others and their local community.

We offer a different creative activity each week, encouraging a relaxing, calm environment for women to improve their sense of wellbeing.

This funding programme has secured workshops running term-time from 25th September until May 2027.

We also have a partnership with Arnolfini Arts and Clevedon Pier, so we will have 4 workshops held in these venues through the programme.

Groups are typically 8-12 women.
Booking is essential and our referrals are managed through our partner organisation, The Nature Consortia. Nature Consortia

More information about what to expect and how to refer are detailed on our website.

Co collaborations, partnership working and being amongst some of the kindest women you could wish to meet. Women that lift you up, meeting you where you are at. Women empowering women. This is just the beginning and I am incredibly proud to be a part of
