Can you spare 2 minutes to help us please?

Can you spare two minutes of your time to help us in our decision making please?

We have decided to continue offering online sessions, and are now also following the government guidelines to offer small, safe, outdoor art groups.

It would really help us if you would take two minutes to complete this quick survey to give us an idea of your current concerns and intentions.

The more responses we can gather, the better we can react to the new ways of working.

Many thanks.

Our new outdoor art group makes mindfulness more fun. We usually like to offer coffee, creativity and company, but for this group you will have to bring your own coffee! (Or tea.) Please also bring your own felt tip pens and paper, as we can’t share materials due to COVID19. The group meets at 10am on Wednesdays in Plympton St Maurice. Message us to book your place.

  • Isolated?
  • Anxious?
  • Stressed?

Watch now to find out how mindful art club can change all of that!

Now we’d like to hear from you. Do you have any questions about our new way of working outside? Leave us a comment below.
