Heiter sessions are “heiter experiences” (or workshops) that give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in an creative and/or calming activity and thus, add more joy to your daily life. 

This is the recording of an 60-min “Intuitive Art Making” workshop that artist Hira S Ahmed previously ran for heiter.

What Hira says about her workshop:

This workshop is all about having a meditative experience of being in conversation with yourself and your emotions through art. Through mixed media art, I encourage you to play and discover the childlike wonder once again in your life.

''You either walk inside your story and own it, or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness.'' - Brene Brown

The aim of the workshop is to inspire you to hold space for you, your story and lived experiences in a safe space without any judgement in the company of other like-minded creative humans.

The session starts off with a 15-min long meditation during which Hira will share visualisation prompts. Afterwards we begin with our mixed media creations. The session includes some basic prompts to help you overcome the fear of blank canvas and to start exploring the mixed media medium in an intuitive way. By the end of the session, you will have a unique piece of abstract art. We then invite you to reflect for yourself and think about what your piece represents and how it felt to express your thoughts and emotions through art making. 

Play. Connect. Experience. Rejoice.

What to prepare:

• any art materials that you have lying around you as we are making a Mixed Media abstract piece of art. That could be acrylics, watercolours, graphite pencils, coloured pencils, markers etc.

  canvas or a piece of paper (preferably 300 gsm) if you are planning to use acrylics or watercolours

Who is the session for?

This experience is designed for everyone. You don’t need to know anything about meditation or art to be a part of this experience. You'll also enjoy the workshop if you are a seasoned artist. This could be your space to let go of control and explore something new that you haven't tried in a while. Come as you are and explore your creative expression through guided meditation and intuitive art.

There will also be a replay available for everyone (including those of you who cannot make it live).

Good to know: if you’d like to attend all upcoming heiter experiences and take advantage of more benefits that help you build connections and create heiter moments, we recommend signing up forThe Heiter Society (instead of purchasing individual workshops).
