In our often hectic schedules, finding a few hours to unwind and reconnect can be transformative. That’s exactly what NOMOREHURT’s "Detox Your Stress: Sip & Paint" event provided—a peaceful, uplifting midday retreat where participants came together to relax, tap into their creativity, and connect with one another in a welcoming, supportive environment.
A Creative and Mindful Experience
The day began with a grounding 20-minute meditation led by Sam from MindfulMyss, helping everyone settle into the moment and release any lingering stress. This peaceful start set the tone for an art experience that was as mindful as it was creative.
Guided by Silvia Saslow, our talented art instructor, participants were encouraged to embrace their unique styles without worrying about prior experience or technique.
Unlike traditional paint events that focus on a single subject, we offered a selection of themes for participants to choose from, allowing each person to pick a piece that spoke to them individually. This flexibility encouraged everyone to listen to their inner voice and explore what felt meaningful to them. Each canvas became a reflection of personal emotions and experiences, fostering a deep sense of self-expression and connection in the room.
Affirmations and Meaningful Connections
Midway through the event, we invited everyone to write a personal affirmation or intention, sealing it in an envelope. At the end of the session, we drew a new envelope, receiving someone else’s words of encouragement and wisdom. This heartfelt exchange brought a powerful sense of community, reminding everyone that they’re part of a supportive journey. To make the day even more memorable, each guest left with a small gift as a keepsake of the event and a reminder to nurture their well-being.
Looking Forward
