Creating my garden of happiness – art and emotions workshop for seniors

A course dedicated to self-care through clay, designed to encourage inner listening, emotional regulation, and relationships with others. The workshop combines creativity, mindfulness, and basic hand-building techniques, transforming the manual gesture into an accessible well-being experience for everyone.

The aim is to support participants in reducing stress and anxiety, improving self-esteem, and fostering a climate of social interaction and cooperation. Clay becomes a simple and immediate medium to rediscover the pleasure of play, tactile experience, and presence in the moment.

Through guided exercises, participants will work on:

  • basic clay modelling techniques
  • discovering personal expressive and creative abilities
  • mood and stress regulation
  • present-moment awareness (mindfulness)
  • inner dialogue and active meditation
  • sharing emotions and thoughts within the group

At the end of the course, each participant will have created a “garden of happiness” in clay – a small symbolic space that holds emotions, intentions, and personal experience.
