Facilitated by Julia Neubauer and Deepa Ramakrishnan
Start your year in a way that feels intentional, embodied, and creatively alive.
Manifest: The Art of Expansion is a 3-hour in-person workshop blending therapeutic artmaking, somatic practices, and intention-setting rituals.
Through mindfulness, movement, and creative expression, we’ll create space to connect with your body’s wisdom. You're invited to begin 2026 from a place of clarity, self-trust, and expansion.
What You’ll Experience
• Creative manifestation:
Use therapeutic art to express your inner vision, desires, and direction. No creative skill required.
• Somatic tools:
Gentle embodiment practices to ground, regulate, and help you feel into what’s ready to emerge.
• Intention setting:
Create meaningful, embodied intentions for the year ahead from a place of alignment.
• Community connection:
Share insights (if you wish) within a warm, supportive group space.
• A soulful beginning to 2026:
Leave with a renewed sense of purpose, creative energy, and calm.
All materials provided. No artistic skill required, just curiosity and a willingness to show up.
Take this time to expand into the year with creativity, embodiment, and intention.

"I came away from the session with new insights, knowing how I want to move forward into the new year and feeling very creatively satisfied and relaxed." - Judy
"Thank you for the relaxing and really useful evening tonight. Oh, if the wider world knew that making art is so, so useful, grounding and meditative.” - Sue

Deepa Ramakrishnan
As a humble student of tea and tea-medicine through the Global Tea Hut school, Deepa understands tea as a living path — a doorway to ritual, stillness, embodiment, and prayer. For Deepa, tea is “medicine of the plants, medicine of connection” — a way to sit, breathe, return to our roots, and remember our relationship with the Earth. In each bowl she pours, she honours ancestral lineages of nourishment, healing, devotion and invites all present to share in that alignment.
