Sometimes, the hardest thing is saying yes to yourself. This is your chance to step out of the madness of the week, ditch perfectionism for a couple of hours, and remind yourself what it feels like to play. You might just find that this “time out” is exactly what you’ve been needing all along.
How often do you actually give yourself permission to just stop, take a breath, and have fun?
On Thursday, April 24th, from 2pm to 4pm, join us at Sketch and Sip, Carlisle’s cozy art café, for an afternoon that’s all about pressing pause on the madness. This is your time—to play, reflect, and embrace the kind of creativity that doesn’t care about being perfect.
If you’re the kind of person who struggles to slow down (hello, perfectionists!), then this is exactly what you need. Inspired by Brené Brown’s work on perfectionism and vulnerability, we’ll explore why it’s so hard to step back and let go—and why doing just that can be a game-changer for your work, leadership, and life.
What to Expect:
Group Painting Fun: Get stuck into a playful, messy, and completely imperfect group painting activity designed to help you loosen up and laugh a little.
Your Own Creation: After the group session, you’ll get time to paint something personal to take home—no pressure, just joy.
Coffee, Cake, and Connection: Because creativity is better with a hot drink in one hand and cake in the other.
