Reclaiming the Thread: A 4-Week Creative Journey Back to Self

Reclaiming the Thread is a 4-week expressive arts workshop series for women and women-identifying folks. A gentle invitation back to yourself through movement, artmaking, reflection, and embodied play.

This closed series is designed as a guided journey.
Each week builds on the last, offering a different doorway into creative exploration:

• drawing & intuitive mark-making
• grounding movement & somatic awareness
• laughter yoga & theatre-inspired play
• reflective journaling, ritual, and integration practices

Together we’ll:
• reconnect with body and intuition
• clear emotional clutter and winter heaviness
• honour our strengths and resilience
• cultivate self-compassion and creative presence

No art experience is needed — just curiosity and the willingness to show up for yourself over these four weeks.

This is a closed, small-group series with a maximum of 8 participants.
Attendance at all four sessions is expected, as the arc of the workshop unfolds gradually and is designed to be experienced as a whole.

Dates:
• Week 1: January 16
• Week 2: January 23
• Week 3: January 30
• Week 4: February 6
Time: 6 pm - 7:30 pm
Location: Tao-n Healing Centre, 375 Jane St, Toronto, ON M6S 3Z3
