Upcoming Workshops
Creative Reset - Monthly Expressive Arts Workshops
Presented by Creative Healing Vancouver and Pandora's Collective
What if a reset isn't about fixing yourself, starting over, or becoming a better version of who you are?
What if it is simply about pausing, creating, noticing and reconnecting with yourself?
Creative Reset is a monthly series of expressive arts workshops designed to give you space to step outside the busyness of everyday life and explore a different theme each month through art-making, writing, movement, imagination, reflection and play.
Each workshop stands on its own. Come once, come occasionally, or join us throughout the year. There is no commitment to the full series.
Some workshops will be in person, offering a hands-on, immersive creative experience, while others will be online, allowing you to participate from home.
No previous artistic experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to explore.

Wednesday August 27th 2026: The Art of Becoming: A Creative Reset Workshop Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of ichigo ichie: this moment exists only once
Expressive Arts Workshop Presented by Creative Healing Vancouver and Pandora's Collective 7-9 pm – In Person Ask for address $40 · No one turned away for lack of funds Life changes us. Through illness, aging, grief, caregiving, unexpected transitions, and new beginnings, we are continually becoming someone new. Yet beneath those changes, something essential remains. The Japanese philosophy of ichigo ichie reminds us that every meeting, every experience, and every season of our lives is unique and can never be repeated. Rather than longing to return to who we once were, it invites us to appreciate each moment for the ways it shapes us. Through guided expressive arts practices, drawing, reflective writing, collage, and conversation, this Creative Reset explores what we've released, what continues to sustain us, and the possibilities still unfolding. Together, we'll discover that while every moment exists only once, each one leaves something meaningful behind. Identity is not something we lose; it is something we continue to create.

September 29, 2026: Making Friends with the Unknown Expressive Arts Workshop Presented by Creative Healing Vancouver and Pandora's Collective 6:30–8:30 pm · Online $25 · No one turned away for lack of funds When so much of life feels uncertain, how might we develop a different relationship with not knowing? In this new Creative Reset workshop, we'll explore uncertainty, intuition, chance and possibility through expressive arts. Rather than trying to find answers or control the outcome, we'll experiment with what happens when we allow ourselves to be curious about what we don't yet know. Through creative prompts, artmaking, writing, and reflection, we'll explore what can emerge when we loosen our grip on certainty and make room for surprise. A new theme each month. Come for one. Come for several. Come for the journey.
