About this Event

Workshop: Creating a Letting Go Box
Letting Go, Trust, and Emotional Containment

Purpose
To support the practice of letting go, building trust, and creating emotional containment through symbolic and reflective action.

Overview
You will create a personal symbolic container to externalize worries, fears, or unresolved questions. The focus is on setting aside what feels overwhelming or outside of one’s control, rather than fixing or solving. This practice supports relief from rumination and creates space for clarity and perspective.

Materials
- Small boxes or simple containers
- Coloured pencils
- Felt markers
- Collage Material (magazines, books, coloured tissue paper, natural elements such as: flower petals, leaves, grasses)
- Glitter or gems (optional)
- Adhesives: Glue, glue sticks, glue guns, tape
- Small slips of paper

Art-Making Process
You will decorate or mark a box in a way that represents safety, trust, or holding. You may write words, draw symbols, or make simple marks on small slips of paper representing worries, decisions, or concerns, and place them into the box. The process is personal and intuitive.

Participation and content remain private. Sharing is always optional.

Art Materials provided but you may choose to bring some things from your personal collection to collage with.
