What to expect?
​
Curious about what a mindful art session at Inner Art Ateljé looks like? Here’s a concrete example of what you can expect when you join:
Example 1, a mindful focus
As you step into the studio, you’ll be welcomed into a calm and inspiring space. We begin with a short check-in, where you can take a moment to ground yourself and get comfortable.
Before diving into the creative process, we take a few minutes for a guided breathing exercise or a short meditation. This helps you transition from daily life into a more present and relaxed state.
​
Depending on the session theme, we'll work with different art materials such as pastels, natural materials, acrylic paint, collage, watercolors or mixed media. No prior experience is needed—this is about exploration, not perfection.
​
Now it's time to create! You’ll be guided through simple yet engaging exercises designed to encourage self-expression and inner reflection. Whether it’s intuitive drawing, or expressive mark-making, you’ll follow what feels right for you.
​
At the end of the session, there’s space to pause, observe your artwork, and reflect on the process. If you feel comfortable, you can share your experience with the group—but it’s completely optional.
​
Each session is unique, and there’s no “right” or “wrong” way to participate—just come as you are, and let the creative process unfold naturally.
​
During the sessions there will be room for socializing and sharing.
​
As I love to incorporate nature into these sessions I will also sometimes include hikes where I let you gather inspiration from the forest which we will then use during the rest of the session.
​
All times there will be a warm coffee, herbal tea and a little snack ready for you to keep you nourished.
Example 2, an artistic focus:
In this class, we dive into the joy of creating with a stronger focus on artistic techniques and playful exploration. As you arrive, there’s time to settle in, have a cup of tea, and ease into a creative mindset.
​
We begin with a short introduction to the theme or material of the day—this might be a new technique, a specific medium, or an inspiring reference from art history or nature. I’ll guide you through the basics, offering demonstrations and tips to support your process.
​
You’ll have plenty of time for hands-on creation, experimenting at your own pace. Whether we’re working with ink, collage, acrylics, or mixed media, the focus is on learning through doing—embracing curiosity, happy accidents, and personal expression.
​
Throughout the session, there’s room for light conversation, questions, and sharing ideas. You’re welcome to follow the suggested structure or take your own creative path—there’s freedom within the framework.
​
We close with a moment to observe and appreciate what has been created. Sharing your work is optional, and always received with kindness. Each session offers a chance to grow your artistic skills while enjoying a relaxed, social atmosphere.
