National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery

🌿 About the WorkshopsLiving with a meningioma can bring changes to how we see ourselves and the world around us. These two creative workshops offer a calm and supportive space to explore that experience through art and photography — helping you express what words alone can’t always capture.No previous art experience is needed. You’ll be gently guided by experienced creative facilitators in a relaxed hospital environment.🎨 Workshop 1: Holding My Story – Clay &amp; CollageUsing soft air-dry clay and mixed-media collage, you’ll create a tactile piece that represents your emotions, memories, and sources of strength. This hands-on, sensory activity encourages calm focus and self-expression in a supportive, understanding space.✨ Workshop 2: Through My Eyes – Photography &amp; ReflectionDiscover new perspectives through the lens of a camera. Using simple photographic exercises, you’ll explore how living with a meningioma shapes the way you see yourself, your surroundings, and your story. We’ll take time to share and reflect on the images together. 💬 Why Join<ul><li>Express your experiences creatively in a non-judgemental space</li><li>Connect with others who understand the journey of living with a meningioma</li><li>Experience calm, mindful moments through creative play</li></ul>☕ Accessibility &amp; SupportThese sessions are designed with comfort and inclusion in mind.
