No therapy. No performance. No need to have it all figured out.

YOUR HOSTS

MEET HAYLEY AND ABHIMANYU

We've both come into connection from very different places.

Hayley comes from years in education, creative arts, and a fascination with emotional literacy, human needs, authentic interactions and depth.

Abhimanyu has spent much of his life in meditation centres, developing a deep relationship with stillness, discipline and devotion.

We've attended communication and connection workshops, hosted some ourselves, and discovered just how much richness theses spaces hold.

AND WE NEEDED MORE!

Spaces where adults could put the small talk aside! Make things! Play! Have real conversations and connect authentically.

But we had no luck finding any.

So we thought... perhaps we'll just create our own!

We're not experts, therapists, or people who have it all figured out. We're just humans who love exploring what happens when people slow down, get creative, and genuinely meet one another.

Come as you are.

Get curious.

See what happens.

Workshops Offered

Heartworks: being seen

What is it like to really see another person as they are, and to have someone see you?

Through creative art, sharing and authentic listening, we’ll practise the simple but powerful experience of being seen, heard and understood.

heartworks:

appreciation

What do we notice when we start paying attention to the things we love, value and appreciate?
Through creative art, sharing and curious conversation, we’ll explore appreciation, and practise expressing what we see in ourselves and each other.

heartworks: Feeling Alive

What makes you light up? What makes you lose track of time? What makes you think, “Yep, this is me”?
Through creative art, sharing and curious conversation, we’ll explore the people, places, passions and moments that bring us alive, and discover what we can learn from them.
