Workshop Overview

1. ✨ Welcome & Intention Setting (15 min)

  • A warm welcome and brief introduction to the concept of unlocking your authentic self

  • Explanation of the role of art in self-expression and personal transformation

  • Guided breathing exercise or meditation to create a calm, centred space

  • Participants are encouraged to set a personal intention for the workshop—something they want to explore, release, or discover about themselves

2. Self-Discovery Through Symbolism (20 min)

  • Introduction to the concept of symbolism in art: how shapes, colours, and textures can represent different aspects of the self

  • Guided reflection: Participants are asked to consider what represents their authentic self—what do they feel they are not expressing fully, and what aspects of their true essence are waiting to be unlocked?

  • Short journaling exercise to identify personal symbols, words, or emotions they want to explore through their artwork

3.  Creative Expression – Unlocking Your Authentic Self (45 min)

  • Participants are given the freedom to create an art piece (painting, drawing, mixed media, or any other medium they feel drawn to) that reflects their authentic self

  • Encourage exploration without judgment: Focus on the process, not the outcome

  • Tips and techniques for self-expression (e.g., using colours to represent emotions, abstract forms to express freedom, layering to represent complexity)

  • A nurturing environment to let go of perfectionism and allow intuition to guide the creation

4. Reflection & Sharing (15 min)

  • After creating their artwork, participants are invited (optional) to share their piece with the group and talk about what it represents for them in unlocking their authentic self

  • Journaling exercise: Reflect on the emotions, thoughts, and revelations that arose during the creative process

  • Group discussion on the power of creativity in self-discovery and empowerment

5.  Closing Ritual & Affirmation (15 min)

  • A closing gratitude circle to honour the creative journey

  • Each participant receives an affirmation or empowering word based on their artwork and personal exploration

  • Optional: A take-home gift like a small crystal, affirmation card, or a handcrafted item that symbolizes their authentic self
