Are you seeking meaningful connections and a vibrant community? 

In the season of Valentine, intimacy goes beyond the boundaries of romance, and heart to heart connection is available for all.

Come and experience the magic that is possible when we go beyond words, with creativity. Step into a mindful and playful space, and explore authentic self-expression and heart-centered relating. In this engaging format, you’ll have the chance to connect in dyads or triads, and small groups - by responding to creative prompts with drawing, movement, storytelling and more. No artistic skills are necessary. You are welcome to draw like a 5 years olds, it feels good!

All participation is optional: you can express yourself in whatever way feels right for you and skip any activity. Our flexible format encourages a sense of ease and openness, allowing connections to flourish without pressure.

Join us in a spirit of curiosity and care as we create a friendly, inclusive atmosphere. Through guided self-reflection and interactive exercises, we will celebrate the joy of connection and creativity. 

What to Expect:

• Send your inner critic away on an all-inclusive vacation!

•      Engage in activities that invite you to express yourself genuinely while attuning to those around you.

• Experience the power of listening for meaning that transcends words, fostering a sense of understanding and connection.

• Co-Create an environment where our unique spirits can shine through shared creativity and authenticity. You will be invited to connect in kind and mindful ways that honor privacy of each participant - what happens here, stays here.

Our time together will involve personal sharing and interactive exercises designed to connect in deep, playful and meaningful ways.

This event is hosted by Marion, an experiences facilitator and the founder of the Heart of Us - an organization devoted to fostering connection with mindfulness, kindness and creativity. We look forward to seeing you!

This workshop promises a nurturing space where you can explore, share, and connect deeply and playfully. We look forward to seeing you!

What our participants say:

“Marion creates a welcoming, warm, and grounded space to safely explore connecting on a deeper level. I often feel anxious and drained when meeting new people, especially in groups, but the quality of their presence and the invitation to pair drawing with sharing leaves me feeling calmly energized, genuinely open to others, and more comfortable in my own skin." - Nancy A.

“While I had a bit of anxiousness around “doing art”, I found it illuminating to see what came out on the page, and to have others’ witness that and give their astute reflections.” - R.R.

The flow:

We begin with an opening circle and brief introductions, followed by prompted activities. We close in a circle, reflecting on our experience together.

We will support each other in cultivating genuine, vibrant, and nourishing ways of connecting. Join this opportunity to co-create a heartfelt, mindful community with likeminded people who value to authenticity, aliveness, mindfulness and intimacy.

No artistic skills or prior experience are necessary, just a willingness to be real, mindful and connect from the heart.
