Tend To Your Cup | Online Preview Session — CA$65

This is a ~90-minute therapeutic arts session for women running on fumes, holding up everything around them while unconsciously putting themselves last. I know many such women. I was that woman, and still am on many days.

You cannot pour from an empty cup.

THE EXPERIENCE An intimate, guided online session for reconnecting with yourself through creating art, in community with other women — from wherever you are. No experience or skills needed. Come as you are.

THE HOST After years of burning out in tech and a late ADHD diagnosis, I found creating art as my compass back home. Now I work as an artist and certified Therapeutic Arts Practitioner, building the room I needed when I was running on fumes.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SESSION You'll make something with your hands, on camera together, in the company of other women who are also, finally, putting something down they've been carrying too long. I'll be there as your guide and companion, holding the space while you explore what your body wants to say and put it on the page.

Nothing is required except your presence. No skills needed. Nothing to get right.

All supplies included — any paper you have, and something to make marks with: pencil, pen, marker, crayon, paint. Nothing special needed, work with what's already at home.

The Arc

  • Settling In — landing, leaving the day at the door
  • A Short Meditation — shifting from doing to being
  • The Making — one gentle prompt, your hands and the page
  • Soft Sharing Circle — say as much or as little as you want about what came up
  • Soft Close

Everything is always an invitation, never an expectation.

Capped at 8 women. Intimate, not exclusive.

I'll see you online.

What women say

From the room

Apeksha is a very skilled, calm and empathetic therapeutic arts practitioner. Her workshops provide a safe space for exploring art and looking deeper inside ourselves. In just a short time I felt connected to the other women in the workshop. The art making was fun and insightful and the sharing was authentic. Thank you Apeksha!

"Apeksha has a gift. She can make you think deeply and relax at the same time."

Apeksha's workshop was an absolute gift in an otherwise very difficult week for me. I came into the workshop feeling emotionally, mentally and physically drained. Apeksha has a very calm and grounding energy which immediately made me feel safe, and supported me in remaining fully present throughout our session (not an easy task after an intense day of work). It was a moment of peace and healing that I am very grateful for!

"This workshop was incredible. Apeksha has a way with words that really reels you into what the true essence of what the workshop is meant to achieve. I would recommend this to all women that want to explore their creative side in a safe and thought-provoking environment."
