Unlocking the benefits of creativity: How creative workshops enhance well being.

A selection of creative workshops hosted by Fern Botanicals Cymru including a wreath making workshop.

In today’s busy world, finding time to creativity can feel like a luxury. Yet, nurturing creativity is one of the most powerful ways to improve mental health, reduce stress and reconnect with ourselves. At Fern Botanicals we believe that everyone can benefit from creative expression. Whether that is through gardening, painting, journaling or participating in one of our creative workshops.

Why creativity matters for your wellbeing.

1 - It reduces stress

Engaging in creative activities allows the mind to slow down and focus on the present. Much like spending time in nature, attending a creative workshop or working on a hands on project can ease anxiety and stress. Research shows that even after a short period of creative engagement reduces cortisol levels, helping you feel calmer and more centred.

2 - Strengthens mental health

Creativity is a natural outlet for processing emotions and reflecting on life experiences. Activities like drawing, writing, or any other creative activities encourage self expression, supporting mindfulness and emotional well being. By participating in creative workshops with Fern Botanicals, you can explore these benefits in a supportive and inspiring environment.

3 - Helps to connect with others

Creativity doesn’t have to be solitary. Sharing ideas, collaborating and projects or joining a local creative workshop fosters a sense of community and belonging. Engaging with others in a creative setting enhances social connection and boosts your mood. If you attend one of our creative workshops with your friends or family, you leave feeling happier and more connected.

You don’t need to be an artist to benefit from creativity. Our creative workshops are designed for all levels, providing space to explore, learn and connect with those around you.

Embrace your creativity, discover new possibilities and let your creativeness flow.
