Mother and Child Art & Mindfulness Workshops

The River of Peace Workshop

A gentle mother-and-child creative wellbeing experience

Join Hattie Kiamil for a peaceful and imaginative two-hour art workshop created especially for mothers and children aged 5–9.

A multi-sensory experience for family wellbeing through imagery, nature & energy healing. Taster Sessions in Potters Bar, Herts, EN6 (Ages 5 to 9)

Through mindful breathing, colour, storytelling and pebble art, mothers and children will create their own symbolic River of Peace—a special place filled with calming colours, kind words, happy memories, hopes and dreams.

Inspired by the themes explored in Hattie’s children’s book, My Happy Place Is Here™, this nurturing workshop invites children and their mothers to slow down, connect and enjoy creating together.

What We Will Create

During the workshop, each mother-and-child pair will:

• Begin with a gentle River of Peace breathing exercise.

• Explore colours, words and symbols that make them feel peaceful and happy.

• Decorate their own River of Peace artwork.

• Paint personal “magic river pebbles” with words, pictures and meaningful symbols.

• Create pebbles representing qualities such as love, kindness, courage, hope, happiness and friendship.

• Add their finished pebbles to a beautiful shared River of Peace.

• Take their personal artwork and painted pebbles home as a reminder that peace can begin within them.

Children can draw or use pictures and symbols if they are not yet confident writers. Mothers are warmly encouraged to create alongside their children, making this a meaningful experience to share together.

A Calm and Supportive Space

This is a small and welcoming workshop for approximately five mothers and five children, with just ten participants in total.

The workshop is designed to encourage:

• Mother-and-child connection

• Creativity and self-expression

• Calm breathing and relaxation

• Emotional awareness

• Kindness and positive thinking

• Confidence and imagination

• Peaceful shared memories

There is no right or wrong way to create, and no previous artistic experience is needed. The emphasis is on enjoyment, freedom and connection rather than artistic perfection.
