We even managed to embrace some of the sunshine we’ve had and take parts of the sessions outside ☀️
So far the sessions have explored…
🌼 Natural printing with playdough
Weaving techniques making ‘Gods Eyes’ & Talking/Story sticks

We @activebeing1 and I have worked together to be able to offer 2 evening creative health workshops in May and June.
I have been co designing the workshops with an incredible woman who I have met as part of the Creative Being community.
It is such a joy to be able to work with her in co facilitating these evening sessions. @creativebeing2025

Creative Being is the Creative Health program I work in partnership with @activebeing1 to create design and facilitate. This 8 week course is primarily being led by women who have been involved in the Creative Being Project for some time now and @activebeing1 peer led volunteer training program. We are now supporting them to lead the sessions. This is co creation, co collaboration, sharing good practice, empowering and creating community connections at its most magical. So proud to be a part of this community. @creativebeing2025

🌳 As part of Social Prescribing Day, we’re highlighting one of the local projects we support through the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Health Inequalities Fund.
Nature Consortium is a collaboration between Open Mind’s Active, ActiveBeing, and Soul Trail.
The collaboration supports women’s mental and physical wellbeing through a range of nature-based interventions by connecting them to activities, groups and further support.
Find out more about some of the other local projects we support via the link in our bio.
This morning @creativebeing2025 began to curate our showcase event.
Following a year of funding from @bnssg_icb supporting children and young people’s mental health & wellbeing in the Woodspring locality of North Somerset.
Working together with @activebeing1 an ambitious proposal took shape; to work both in the community @clevedoncommunity and in @clevedon_school
The impact has been pretty incredible. Engaging children and young people, creating a creative community and connecting socially. Co collaborating workshop planning and sharing ideas that get spun into marvellous workshops.
Building relationships between peer groups , supporting school attendance and engagement. Holding space to be heard and felt seen.
It’s been colourful and creative and full of joy and a whole lotta fun.
Thankyou Charlie @activebeing1 for supporting the creative health program and the ambitious ideas I bring. Thankyou Lizzie @joyful_inclusive_art for being so completely brilliant. I am so glad you came on board. And Thankyou Caitlin @alderlcaitlin the glue that’s kept the admin side (that we mostly like to hide from) together.
Please come along.
