About this Event
Art & Tea: An Evening of Art, Play & Connection with Nathalie 🎨🍵
Join us at Lavande Wellness for a calming, creatively restorative evening centered on art-making, tea, sensory exploration, and human connection.
Designed for all experience levels, this intimate workshop invites you to slow down, reconnect with your creativity, and soften the inner critic through guided artistic play and somatic exploration in a warm, welcoming environment.
The evening will begin with a simple seasonal tea ceremony to help ground the body and settle into presence together. Tea will be intentionally selected based on the season, with alternatives always available for preferences or allergies.
From there, Nathalie — artist, therapeutic art practitioner, and somatic facilitator — will guide guests through a series of unique and engaging drawing exercises designed to encourage curiosity, relaxation, self-expression, and play. Rather than focusing on artistic perfection, this experience centers on process, creativity, nervous system regulation, and authentic connection.
Throughout the evening, guests will interact with a variety of sensory materials and objects intended to awaken creativity through touch, smell, sight, sound, and texture. Expect an atmosphere that feels grounding, playful, inspiring, and deeply human.
