The Landscape Within: A Creative Self-Exploration Series

The Landscape Within is a 4-week creative wellness series hosted in partnership with Newfields, blending art-making, reflection, and community connection.

Facilitated by Allie Bishop, a licensed art therapist from Art of the Heart, this group invites participants to explore their inner worlds through accessible creative practices, no art experience necessary.

Each session will take place in the gardens at Newfields, incorporating prompts connected to seasonal shifts, emotions, identity, and personal growth. We’ll explore a mix of guided art invitations, simple mindfulness tools, and optional discussion, offering a supportive space for curiosity, self-expression, and rest.

This creative series is an open invitation for anyone seeking creative nourishment and meaningful reflection in community.
