Art and Soul Workshop at Flow at Transcend Studios

In a city that rarely slows down, Flow at Transcend Studios moves to a gentler rhythm. Their Art & Soul Workshop, led by creative coach and holistic therapist Andrea, is part collage workshop, part social gathering, part escape from the outside world.

You’ll start with a cup of cacao – as much ritual as refreshment. An oracle card draw follows, setting a personal thread for the session. Then Andrea leads you into cut-and-paste collage and mixed media, with expressive prompts designed to loosen the mind and get your hands moving. A carefully curated playlist runs in the background, acting less like background music and more like an accomplice to your focus.

The materials are simple – paper, scissors, glue, images – but the process is intended to bring about something deeper. Collage has a way of suspending judgement, letting you rediscover the creative spark you might have misplaced somewhere between school art class and adulthood. Themes change each month, from self-love to shadow work, but the emphasis stays on process over product.

Flow at Transcend Studios is part of a wider wellbeing community with spaces in MediaCity and Eccles – no airy-fairy pretence, just good energy, open doors and a focus on connection. Whether you’re here for yoga, sound baths or a simple brew, it’s a place to quieten the mind, meet likeminded people and recharge.

This workshop is open to all abilities, with materials provided – just bring yourself, some water, and clothes you’re happy to create in. Leave with glue on your fingers, a lighter head, and maybe a new friend or two.
