reviews:

“I had such an amazing time at the affirmations workshop! It was so fun to learn how to implement affirmations into my daily life, and Zara’s presentation was engaging and fun. Making my own canvas was also lovely, and you don’t have to be the artiest person in the world to enjoy it. As adults, we never get time to play anymore, so it was the perfect excuse. Everything was provided and it was so easy, and everyone there was so lovely. The nicest way to spend a midweek evening, would definitely recommend!”

“I had a lovely time at the Affirmations Workshop. Zara was really lovely and made everything so easy to understand. It’s the first time I’ve been to something like this after feeling like affirmations don’t work for me, but now I feel I have a few more tools to understand how I can personalise them to me and implement them into my life. It was also great to get together with a lovely group of people and make some affirming artwork!”

“The workshop was money really well spent, loved the introduction with the presentation into different types of affirmations and their positive impacts on the mind and inner self.

Highly recommend for a cute friend date too. It was so nice doing something lovely a relaxing like that after work and meeting lovely new people. You also get to leave with your own positive reminder and piece of art to take home after spending time creating it. Will definitely be booking on again and will bring someone else too next time.”

“I absolutely loved the affirmation workshop! It was such a fun and uplifting experience. I especially loved the part about making affirmations feel more believable and adapting them as your feelings change, it made the whole process feel really personal and meaningful.

Designing the canvas was so much fun too, and it was lovely to get out, do something creative, and spend time with such a fun and inspiring bunch of creative people.

Very positive and inspired from the night so thank you so much Zara for a special night. So happy to hear there will be more!”
