Join us in November for a mindful Paint by Numbers art session, created as a grounding space to soften grief and gently bring focus back to the present moment.
When we experience loss, thoughts and emotions can feel too overwhelming to express, and this can leave us feeling alone in our grief.
This session offers a simple, accessible way to be with whatever you’re feeling, without pressure or expectation. Unlike a blank canvas, which can sometimes feel daunting when you don’t know where to begin, paint by numbers gives you a starting point to follow. With each colour and number, you can focus on one small step at a time, allowing your mind to settle without the pressure of having to come up with an idea or create something from scratch.
The repetitive, mindful process of choosing colours, following the numbers and filling in each section can help quiet busy thoughts, encourage relaxation and create a sense of calm.
There is no need to be “artistic” or creative. This is not about perfection or the finished masterpiece, but about giving yourself permission to pause, breathe and simply be. And don't worry! If you don't get to finish your painting, you can take everything home and continue at your own pace.
If paint by numbers feels a little overwhelming, don't worry! We’ll also have simpler mindful art options available; with outlines you can fill in with colour at your own pace.
This is a gentle space for reflection & connection. Come as you are, and leave feeling a little lighter.
- All materials are provided, along with coffee/tea and light snacks in our office space.
- This months theme: Starry Sky
A gentle note that these sessions are not formal support groups, but gentle, mindful practices designed to help you move through your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. This is a gentle space for reflection and connection.
Wherever you are on your journey—whether you are currently pregnant, trying to conceive, or navigating life after loss—you are so welcome here. Whether your loss is recent or many years ago, this space is open to all who have experienced the loss of a baby or child. This includes parents, siblings, grandparents, extended family members, and friends walking alongside someone they love.
