The Creative Wellbeing Café is our monthly guided creative session held in local libraries across Mid Ulster, as well as the Fermanagh and Omagh district. It’s a gentle, welcoming space for women to pause, make, and connect.
Each session centres on a simple creative activity. No experience is needed. Everything is provided. The focus is not on perfection, but on presence.
Through guided reflection and accessible creative practice, participants build confidence in their inner voice, reduce isolation, and strengthen supportive connections within their community.
Women can attend as a one off session or return month after month. Every gathering stands alone, yet together they create a steady rhythm of care and creativity.
We currently run five sessions monthly and hope to expand further afield in Autumn 2026.

In 2025, we were proud recipients of the Rural Action Award. This support enabled us to design and pilot Between Seasons, a three week creative wellbeing course created specifically for women living in rural communities.
Between Seasons is a structured yet gentle programme that centres on gratitude, intuition, and mindfulness. Each week combines guided reflection with accessible creative practice, offering participants space to slow down and reconnect with themselves.
The course supports women to recognise their inner resources during times of transition. Whether facing change, uncertainty, or simply the pace of daily life, Between Seasons provides a steady space to pause, create, and reset.
Stitching Our Stories is a four week creative wellbeing course that uses textiles as a way to explore personal identity, life experience and resilience in a supportive group setting.
Through guided prompts and quiet making time, participants reflect on where they have come from, what has influenced them and the strength they carry. The course gently encourages forward thinking, ending with a message to their future self.
This is not about perfect sewing. It is about using slow, intentional stitching as a tool for reflection, connection and emotional steadiness.
Participants leave with a collection of meaningful textile pieces and a renewed sense of authorship over their own story.
