New Beginnings would like to invite you on a journey of healing through art. Sometimes words just don't come out when we're processing the heavy emotions of separation and divorce. That's okay. We've created a safe space where your hands and heart can speak instead. During our time together, we will travel together through our journey from grief to gratitude one stroke at a time. Through this immersive experience, we will interact with Sabr (patience), understand Tawwakul (Trust in God), and feel the power of connectedness as we work towards building a masterpiece to take home - this will be the metaphor of your journey from grief to gratitude. The program outline: Full day workshop 14 February 2026 (10am to 4pm) This is a full-day workshop carefully designed to resemble the stages of separation and divorce. The workshop will be delivered in three parts: The Fracture, The Repair, and Acceptance/Becoming. There will be breaks in between for refreshments, prayer and reflections. This workshop is suitable for individuals struggling to navigate the challenges of separation and divorce, as well as any individuals experiencing grief after a challenging life transition. *Please note, this is not a group counselling or clinical therapy-based program. This workshop is designed to foster connectedness, acceptance and externalise the emotions associated with loss.
