Your Voice, Your Space

A Creative Workshop for Reconnection and Healthy Boundaries

Listen inward. Make visible what matters. Create space for what you need.

Date: Saturday, December 12, 2026
Time 10:00 a.m.–1:30 p.m.
Fee: $65
Instructor: Annick Reis
Location: Suntan Art Center

During a season that can bring both connection and pressure, this half-day workshop offers time to pause, listen inward and reconnect with what matters.

Through guided reflection, collage, color, words and intuitive artmaking, participants will explore what strengthens their sense of self, what asks for protection, and where greater space or clarity may be needed. Rather than prescribing answers, the creative process allows each person to discover and visually express what voice, space and healthy boundaries mean to them.

No previous art experience is necessary. The emphasis is on honest exploration rather than artistic performance. Participants are free to adapt the invitations, and sharing is always optional.

Shared collage and art materials will be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring a journal or sketchbook and any personal creative materials they enjoy using.
