Winter brings darkness, but that’s not a bad thing. Nature uses this time to rest: animals hibernate, seeds lie still, roots grow deep, all in quiet preparation for what’s ahead.
We can do the same. Winter invites us to slow down, rest, and dream. Even in the dark, change is happening - and soon, the light will return.

Creative activity: Winter Wheel
Create your own Winter Wheel, inspired by the ancient art of mandalas, using natural seasonal materials. This symbolic circle represents the cycle of life, reminding us that winter’s darkness will turn to spring’s light.
Create your own lantern using the ancient art of papier-mâché! This hands-on activity invites you to embrace winter’s darkness while becoming a bearer of light.
In winter’s mindful activity, we’re going to do some mountain breathing. Mountain breathing is a simple, calming technique that uses your breath and body to help you feel more grounded. It’s a great tool to support your wellbeing anytime you need to relax.
Winter is a time for rest, but slowing down can be difficult in our busy lives. As nature patiently awaits the return of light and energy, this walking activity invites you to do the same. We'll explore how some of the creative techniques we use in art therapy can guide you in reflecting on the seasons and how they make you feel.
