About this Event
The Quiet Place — 5th December
Highfield Park, St Albans | 7–9pm
A guided two-hour creative rest afternoon — a space to slow down, breathe and reconnect before the year ends.
As December arrives, so does the noise — the lists, the pressure, the rush. This is your pause. A space to reflect on the year that is ending, let go of what you no longer need, and carry forward what matters.
Breathwork drawing, intuitive mark-making, reflective writing and journaling.
Arrive in the last of the daylight and settle into a warm, candlelit room as the afternoon turns to dark.
Research shows that regular engagement in the arts can nearly halve the risk of developing depression, and that as little as 45 minutes of creative activity lowers cortisol levels regardless of skill or experience.
This afternoon offers a reset for your nervous system, space to soften perfectionism and pressure, a return to self-compassion, a chance to create without expectation, and a reminder that rest is productive.
This is not an art class. No experience needed. No pressure to perform. Just a gentle, structured space where the body settles through breath and the mind quiets through creative expression and writing.
Everything is provided — only high-quality art materials and tools. You will also take home a small seasonal keepsake to carry the stillness with you.
Spaces are limited. Bring a friend!
