Workshop for Expats✨
As a migrant myself, I’ve had to navigate some really tough moments to adapt myself to the new culture and rediscover who I am in my new home. That’s why I created this workshop — to walk alongside you on your own journey, offering a safe space where you can explore your emotions, have fun, and connect with others who’ve been through similar experiences.
And honestly, while designing this workshop, I found healing for myself along the way too. 😊
Art-therapy for expats: Migrating Inward✨
A 6-week online art therapy group for migrants around the world
This online group art therapy workshop is designed for migrants, living anywhere in the world.
Whether you’ve moved to another country or simply to a different province or state within your own, this space welcomes anyone who’s gone through the experience of leaving one place to settle in another.
We’ll meet in a intimate group, creating a safe and nurturing space for honest sharing, creativity, and connection.
What’s the Workshop About?
This workshop is a space to explore, express, and channel the emotions that arise from the migration journey through artistic practices. Each session offers a creative technique to help you connect with your inner world and express it in a safe, supportive environment.
It’s not necessary to have art experience — just a willingness to explore and express.
We’ll journey through different emotional stages of the migration experience, grouped into the following themes:
🌟 Dreams and Expectations (Session 1)
💔 Loss, Grief, and Adaptation (Session 2)
🌐 Making Connections (Session 3)
🏡 Belonging and Resilience (Session 4)
🔄 Integration and Closure (Session 5)
Each stage invites us to see the bigger picture and honor where we are in our own timeline. By understanding that emotions are temporary and processes are cyclical, we can embrace our path with more compassion and clarity.
The Next Journey is scheduled to start in June!✨
🎯 Workshop Goals
🫂 1. Belonging
Creating a space where people who have experienced migration can connect, reflect, and feel part of a supportive group. Here, your story might echo in someone else’s, and diversity of perspectives helps us all see things in new ways. Through the live sessions, we’ll foster a virtual network of sharing and listening — a space that may open doors to meaningful relationships, ideas, or future projects.
🎨 2. Creativity
Helping participants reconnect with their emotions through artistic expression. This is not a formal or academic workshop — it’s about practicing, not overthinking. Each session invites play, imagination, and inner exploration through the hands and the voice — and perhaps, a gentle reconnection with your inner child.
🌱 3. Process Awareness
Reinforcing the idea that every step in a migration journey is part of a broader process — one that’s deeply personal, yet shared across cultures. By recognizing that we’re all part of something bigger, we make space for compassion, clarity, and trust in our own path.
