Join amazing arts therapist Jemima Beaumont-Robberds for a Nature Weaving workshop, a fun and creative way to beat those post-lockdown blues.

Connect to nature, connect to community, connect to self and create your own beautiful nature weaving. In this hands-on therapeutically focussed workshop, you will be guided to mindfully connect with nature, others and yourself as you gather and weave materials to create your own ‘nature weaving.’ Your unique nature weaving will be used to symbolise what you would like to bring into the new year.

Engaging in this workshop will enhance participants’ self-awareness and reflective capacity. The workshop will assist in calming the nervous system and will connect participants to community and the natural world – all essential to good mental health and a holistic sense of wellbeing.

Jemima is a Registered Professional Arts Therapist (ANZACATA) in private practice in Canberra. Jemima is the owner of Sacred Space Arts Therapy and she works with people of all ages starting with children from age 7. She has been an Arts Therapist for three years after graduating with her Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice in 2018. Jemima is passionate about using materials from nature in art-making, and in being in nature, as a tool to connect to self, to others, to country and to enhance wellbeing.

This workshop is for adults 18+, who can follow basic instructions and are able to be out in a nature park and gather materials. It will take 1.5 hours. If the weather is unsuitable, we will notify participants if it is raining or dangerously windy and reschedule the workshop. If the rescheduled date does not suit a participants, we will issue a refund.
