NEW!! RESET & RECHARGE IS IN THE WORKS!
CRAFTING WELLBEING: A new role for your inner critic
A playful day of mental fitness, creativity and connection
Join us for a free, interactive day designed to help you understand the habits of mind that can create stress, frustration and self-doubt—and discover simple tools for responding differently.
Through conversation, creativity, movement and shared experience, you’ll build your own mental fitness toolkit filled with practical tools you can use in real life.
You’ll leave with greater awareness, practical tools, and the warmth of having spent the day learning and connecting with others.
No experience required. Just come as you are.
What to expect:
✅ An introduction to the most common ways we unknowingly sabotage ourselves
✅ Simple mental fitness practices you can use anywhere
✅ A playful creative project—no artistic ability needed
✅ Gentle, accessible movement breaks
✅ Time to reflect, share and connect with others
✅ A warm, welcoming day spent in community
✅ Your own mental fitness toolkit to take home
There will be plenty of lightness and laughter along the way.
Sharing is always optional.

Is This Workshop for You?
Crafting Wellbeing is for anyone who:
✅ Gets caught in overthinking, worry or self-criticism
✅ Finds themselves reacting in familiar ways—even when those reactions aren’t helping
✅ Wants practical tools for navigating everyday stress
✅ Enjoys learning through conversation, creativity and connection
✅ Could use a day devoted to their own wellbeing
You don’t need to be artistic, athletic or familiar with mental fitness.
Just bring your curiosity. We’ll take care of the rest.
Ready to Join Us?
Give yourself a day to pause, play and reconnect.
Leave with greater awareness, practical tools, meaningful connections and your own mental fitness toolkit to
use long after the workshop ends.

FAQs
Do I need to be artistic?
Not at all. The creative activity is about expression and exploration—not making something perfect. All materials and guidance are provided.
What should I bring?
Just yourself! Lunch, refreshments and workshop materials are provided. You may wish to bring a water bottle and wear comfortable clothing for the gentle movement breaks.
Do I need to register?
Yes. Advance registration is required because space is limited.
Registration is free and helps us plan for the day, including lunch, refreshments, workshop materials and seating.
Please register in advance to reserve your spot.
If your plans change after registering, please let us know at [email protected] so that we can offer your place to someone else.
Is the Workshop really Free!?
Yes.
There is no cost to participants because the workshop is made possible through the generous support of our community sponsors and a Quick Action Grant through the United Way of Greater Toronto, Georgina Unbound, and Routes Connecting Communities.
Sponsor funding helps cover the costs of lunch, refreshments, workshop materials, venue expenses and other elements of the day.
Space is limited, however, so advance registration is required!
