About this event

In this evening of experiential creative play, you will enjoy time and space to reconnect to, and re-create, a favourite source of security from your childhood - and tap into its wisdom and powerful healing ability.

Experiences from our childhood are often at the core of our adult struggles and challenges: this fun, artsy session is a lovely gentle way to reconnect to our favourite childhood companions.

We will also have time to reflect on our re-creations - and explore any insights that have arisen - in small groups: please kindly note, there is no expectation on you to share. This is completely optional.

“Lost and Found: creatively reconnecting to our favourite childhood toys” is open to everyone - all you need is a willingness to play! Please bring with you simple tools such as paper, colouring pens or crayons, paints, colouring pencils, plasticine, clay - whatever you have to hand (and like working with) is perfect. 

Taking part in creative arts is a gentle, fun way to help improve your wellbeing, gifting you a way to express yourself without needing to find the right words. Creative arts is also a wonderful way to help lift loneliness and feelings of isolation: this playshop is being offered via Zoom, online, to help those who may be housebound, or find it difficult or uncomfortable to attend in-person events.

She is on a mission-of-permission to help people discover the healing power of play, and reconnect to their true colours.

Frequently Asked Questions

- How can I attend if its an online session?

We will use Zoom, a popular video conferencing platform which is free to download and use with a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone.

- What materials do I need?

A quiet space to enjoy the visualisation, and some paper and pens/pencils/crayons, paints, plasticine, clay - any materials you have to hand and like to work with!

- How often do you run these online workshops?

They are (usually) offered on the 3rd Thursday evening of each month, from 7.30-9pm. Callie also offers occasional lunchtime creative play sessions.

- Do you record these sessions?

No. Due to the deeply personal experiences that may be shared online, I have chosen not to record the creative playshops. You will need to make sure you can attend this session live, before booking.

- Do I need to keep my webcam on?

Preferably, yes, as it will help you to feel part of the whole experience - and will help to put other people at ease in the group, too.
