Introspective Art Session
Slow down. Paint what you feel.
✨ A different kind of art session
Introspective Art is a quiet evening to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and express what’s inside through painting, drawing, or collage. No art experience needed.
✨ How the evening goes
Arrive: a guided meditation and sound bath to settle in and leave the day behind.
Get inspired: a reflective theme is shared as a gentle invitation.
Create: about 2 hours to explore it freely, with colors, shapes, and textures.
Share: we close by showing our creations to each other, which turns a personal moment into a real connection.
✨ Included
All the materials
A free barista coffee or tea
A delicious snack or sweet is available at the counter if you’d like one
✨ You’ll leave with
Something uniquely yours, a lighter mind, and a feeling of connection with the people around you.
About the host
Yasmine is a wellness and art facilitator. For the past four years, she's been creating and hosting art sessions in Lisbon and across Asia. She thrives on connecting with people from different cultures and backgrounds.
