Creative Sanctuary
Welcome to the Creative Sanctuary Workshop
A Restorative Space for Reflection, Creative Expression, and Inner Connection
Guided by Emer O'Neill, Artist & Holistic Creative Therapist
A Haven for Stillness and Self-Expression
In the rush of everyday life, it’s easy to lose connection—with ourselves, with nature, and with the grounding joy of creativity. The Creative Sanctuary Workshop invites you to a calm, nurturing space to rest, reflect, and rekindle a deeper relationship with your inner wisdom through the mindful, joyful practice of mandala creation.
This workshop is an opportunity to explore your creativity in a supportive, open environment. No prior experience is needed—only a willingness to step into a circle of like-minded souls, ready to explore and enrich their inner lives together.
What You’ll Experience:
Throughout this session, I’ll guide you through gentle practices that weave together art, reflection, and reconnection with nature, creating a space for your spirit to simply be.
Here’s what our time together will include:
Creating Sacred Space
We’ll begin by grounding ourselves with guided meditation, helping us open up to the present moment. This gentle entry will allow you to feel centred, open, and ready to create from the heart.
Loose, Free, and Playful Mandala Creation
With a selection of art materials, you’ll be invited to create mandalas—symbols of unity and wholeness—using only your hands and imagination. These mandalas will be loose, free, and playful, with no compasses or rulers required. Each piece will be unique to you, allowing you to explore creativity in a way that feels natural and open.
Personal Reflection & Inner Wisdom
Through gentle journaling prompts, you’ll have the chance to explore the symbols, patterns, and colours that appear in your mandalas, tuning in to the messages they hold for you. This reflective practice can help you unlock insights, bringing clarity and connection to your inner journey.
Gathering in Circle
Sharing this experience with a circle of like-minded souls offers a sense of belonging and support. Here, you’ll find inspiration in the shared energy of the group and in the warmth of simply being together, creating a sense of community and shared intention.

Why Choose This Workshop?
The Creative Sanctuary Workshop is a true pause, a chance to step away from the demands of everyday life and tune in to the beauty of your own creativity and wisdom. It’s a space to nourish your inner life and find renewed inspiration, connecting gently with nature, creativity, and your own self.
Whether you’re seeking a moment of peace, a spark of clarity, or simply a sense of community, this workshop is an invitation to relax, create, and reconnect.
No art experience is required, just an open heart and a curiosity to explore.

> “Was a lovely class. Emer has a beautiful calm presence that puts you at ease. She creates a space where you feel safe to explore your own creativity without judgement and if you are someone like me, with little experience with being "creative" or working with paints, then Emers workshops are definitely worth a try.” Wendy
> “It's more than sketching or painting, it's about making space, time and energy to be more creative. Its about learning how to say no, and how to use our valuable time better. You gain an insight into self care, self expression.” Philomena
"Emer is a warm and supportive facilitator, with wonderful themes and prompts for the sessions. She also creates beautiful artwork herself and gives great practical advice. I would highly recommend it." Eva
