Description
Join us for a calm, nourishing morning designed to reconnect with yourself through color, words, and intention. Love Letters to Self is a reflective watercolor workshop where creativity meets mindfulness, hosted by Alessa of @LifeAfterBreakfastph, featuring Jenie of @Ikigai.Recharged.
Through a gentle exploration of Ikigai—the things that give your life meaning and energy—you’ll choose words, letters, or short phrases that resonate with you right now. Using watercolor techniques, you’ll bring these words to life, creating personal artworks that are beautiful and deeply meaningful.
Between mindful artmaking, we’ll share a nourishing brunch, giving space to pause, reflect, and connect with yourself and others.
