In collaboration with Maraya Art Centre, we invite young creatives to explore the joy of hands-on art through a series of engaging workshops. Children will discover new artistic techniques, experiment with different materials, and create their own unique pieces in a fun and inspiring environment. Each workshop encourages creativity, self-expression, and learning through making.
Just Breathe
Focus Book: Breathe Like a Bear – First Day of School Worries by Kim Willey
As children get ready to return to school, Just Breathe offers a gentle space to pause, reset, and discover simple ways to feel calm and confident.
Through playful breathing exercises, calming sensory experiences, and mindful painting, children explore how their breath can help them manage big feelings, settle their bodies, and prepare for new experiences. Using colours, lines, and movement, they create their own visual expression of what calm feels like.
The session encourages children to take a mindful moment whenever they feel nervous, excited, overwhelmed, or simply need to slow down; giving them a simple tool they can carry with them into the new school year.
Breathe in. Paint it out. Start the school year calmly.
Workshop:
Guided by the gentle flow of waves, children paint the feeling of breathing in and breathing out, discovering how slow, mindful breaths can help them feel calm, relaxed, and ready for the new school year.
