About this Event

Start the first month of 2025 differently. Not with resolutions, but with a colour therapy painting session.

​January can feel heavy. The comedown after the holidays, the dark mornings, the cold that seeps into everything. But there's medicine in colour.

​Join fine art artist & colour therapy specialist, Hua Jing Li, for an afternoon of restoration and renewal through painting. We'll explore vibrant blues and sunny yellows found in winter sunsets—colours that lift and energise.

​This is about meeting January where it is. Not forcing fresh starts, but finding warmth in the palette of winter light.

​All while savouring curated sushi and your choice of wine or drink in good company at Hanaski.

What to expect:

  • ​Guided colour therapy painting session focusing on uplifting hues of a winter sunset
  • ​All materials provided—no experience necessary
  • ​Curated sushi selection and choice of wine or non-alcoholic drinks
  • ​Intimate group size for meaningful connection
  • ​A finished painting to take home, along with tools for finding light in darker months
