Liminal Spaces: Drawing & Poetry Workshops

Workshop Theme: Liminal Spaces: Honouring the Place Between No Longer and Not Yet

Life is full of thresholds—the tender moments when one chapter has closed, and the next has yet to fully arrive. These “liminal spaces” can feel uncertain, but they also hold immense possibilities.

This full-day Drawing & Poetry Workshop is an invitation to pause, reflect, and create in community. Guided by artist-coach Massimo and poet-coach Jane, you’ll be gently supported as you:

• Explore your inner landscape through drawing and poetry.
• Use meditation and reflection to connect with your deeper self.
• Discover new perspectives and meanings in times of change.
• Share a nourishing, creative experience in the heart of Southwark.

No prior experience with art or writing is needed. All you need to bring is curiosity, openness, and a willingness to step into the space between “no longer” and “not yet.”

✨ “A beautiful gift. I’m so pleased I gave it to myself… I won’t be leaving another 30 years before I pick up a paintbrush! It was so rich to combine words with painting.”

✨ “I felt reconnected to my true self in a soothing, grounding space. It was an invitation to play, experiment and be free—always held with warmth and without judgment.”

✨ “Although I came with apprehension that I couldn’t write a poem, I soon got into the flow. The space was welcoming and inclusive, with so much encouragement to express my creativity.”

✨ “The gathering felt magical. Each layer of creativity revealed something deeper—I left feeling joyful, inspired, and connected.”

✨ “It was very well organised, and the poetry and creativity flowed beautifully. I felt included and welcome as soon as I walked in.”

✨ “Thank you for creating such a safe, generous space to try something new, explore deeply, and share openly.”
