Today in Creativity for Wellbeing we decorated our own treasure box and reflected on how it can be both a container for our art work, and also the container of our feelings, wishes, hopes and reflections.

What an incredible session! 🎬 A massive thank you to Anna for leading such an inspiring Mobile Filmmaking Workshop as part of our Heritage project.
Showing us that you don't need a huge budget to tell a powerful story - just the phone in your pocket and a bit of vision. 📱✨

Good to be back in each other's company as part of our Heritage Project ✨
We spent the morning shortlisting places we'd like to visit. Then got stuck into some nut-cracking - discussing their origins, and Rich shared stories from Greenwich Heritage.

This week we were stirring our senses through cooking as part of our Heritage Project 🍲✨
We had the space to reconnect with our roots, and the traditions we grew up with - cooking reminded us that our heritage lives on in our hands and hearts.
