Workshop overview
( This workshop is intended for women only)

The Integrated Self: A Vision Board Workshop for Strength & Shadow
Move beyond self-criticism and visualise your whole, authentic self.
Do you find yourself overthinking your worth or feeling like you have to hide certain parts of your personality to be accepted? The Integrated Self is a beginner-friendly vision board and collage workshop designed for anyone ready to rebuild their self-image with kindness, clarity, and depth.
Unlike traditional vision boards that only focus on external goals, this session focuses on internal integration. Using psychological archetypes, we will create a visual portrait that honours both your radiant strengths and your ”shadow” traits, helping you move from insecurity toward a grounded, unified sense of self.

Join us!

The Creative Journey

Archetype Discovery: Identify the universal ”inner characters” shaping your life, from the resilient Protector and the Wise Guide to the curious Explorer.
Mindful Planning: Use guided prompts to move past the ”inner critic” and visualise a version of yourself that feels real and empowered.
Vision Boarding: Using a curated selection of images, textures, and symbols, you will assemble a visual map of your inner landscape.
Empowered Integration: Learn to see your ”shadow” traits not as flaws, but as untapped sources of energy and self-knowledge.

Who Is This For?

This workshop is a sanctuary for any woman looking to deepen their emotional awareness through a calm, supportive, and creative outlet.
Struggles with persistent overthinking or self-doubt.
Wants to boost their inner confidence through a tactile, creative process.
Is looking for a ”Vision Board” experience with more psychological and reflective depth.
Desires a supportive, non-judgmental environment to explore their identity.
This workshop is in English, therefore communicating and understanding English is necessary for participation.
