Art Therapy 2 at the Women’s Centre Rodney Wellsford

The Women’s Centre Rodney is hosting a vibrant Art Therapy group – a place to connect, share, and create in ways that lift your spirits. No art skills are needed, just a willingness to give it a go.

Heidi Downey - Heidi brings, deep presence, warm encouragement, and a creative spark to every session. She is about connection with art, with the body, and with each other

Art therapy isn’t about producing masterpieces; it’s about the joy and freedom of creative expression. No one cares about talent or technique – it isn’t about that. It is about the freedom to try, to play with colour, to let your hands speak when words feel clumsy.

It is about connecting, about sharing little stories while the art slowly takes shape. Through colour, texture, and playful exploration, you can discover new ways to express feelings, unwind, and connect with others in a relaxed and supportive space.

The first session was alive with conversation, splashes of colour, and the kind of warmth that lingers long after you leave. This is a group where laughter and insight often share the same canvas, and where the act of creating together builds bonds as strong as the art itself.

The group would love to welcome a few more participants to keep it running. Held at The OWL Hub in Wellsford, this light-filled, welcoming venue is the perfect place to enjoy the process – whether you’re seeking connection, a creative outlet, or simply a bit of time for yourself.

Come along and see how a little creativity can brighten your week.
