- Create a Vision Board. Make a piece that represents yourself or who you want to become.
Benefits:
- Release Stress
- Improve Focus & Concentration
- Increase Emotional Awareness
- Let Go & Heal

No Previous Art Experience Required.
In-person 90 min Symbollage Workshops.
Suitable for corporate wellbeing days, community groups and other organised groups of up to 12 participants (adults only).
Delivered in Ireland by the workshop founder.
Step 1 | Introduction & Examples
Each workshop starts with an introduction, examples and reflection. Working on a Symbollage is a mindful process. Participants often have the intention to grasp, embrace or release a life event or chapter. If nothing comes to your mind, you will enjoy the process by working intuitively.
Step 2 | Preparation
Each participant receives 3 sets of colourful printed visual symbols and special backgrounds. Some creators bring photographs, personal notes or even old letters. There is no right or wrong. All required art supplies are provided.
Step 3 | Creation
Creating the Symbollage is a contemplative and intuitive process.
After the workshop you will receive an e-mail with a printable black and white set of symbols if you wish to print and colour them yourself for your future Symbollages.
Please feel free to share the process and finished artwork using the hashtag: #symbollage
