Mental Fitness with the Arts
Where Art and Psychology meet to help us grow.
REFLECT & CREATE invites you to explore various forms of art to engage your mind and spark your creativity. Strengthening your mental well-being can be fun, exciting, and deeply rewarding—it doesn’t have to feel like another task or obligation. For fresh ideas and inspiration, follow us on social media and join our events. Each event features a unique theme and activity designed to challenge and inspire you.
We blend creative expression with psychological wellness to build mental resilience in a supportive community. Our events—from guided art-making to reflective writing—use evidence-based creative practices to help you process emotions, reduce stress, and cultivate mindfulness.
This is mental fitness through creativity: just as we exercise our bodies, we "work out" our minds through purposeful art, movement and connection. The magic happens when we do this together – sharing perspectives, finding inspiration, and growing stronger as a community.
Our pay-it-forward model keeps these experiences accessible to all. Every contribution helps fund free events, supply art materials for underserved groups, and expand this movement of mental wellness through creativity.
Come as you are. Create with intention. Grow through connection.
"It makes you pause and think. and express those things in art. Don't miss out."
Favourite part?
"The structure of moving our bodies to music, reflecting/writing, and then creating together! I just love how my body and mind prepared to create in that way."
Favorite sessions?
"Honestly I've enjoyed all the sessions I've attended equally!"
Why recommend it?
"If you're looking to clear out your creative cobwebs, connect with other sensitive humans, move your body and pen, and feel at home in community, you should definitely join these free monthly Reflect & Create events!! Gloricaa is such a warm host and I leave each session feeling energized and empowered. I love these events."
Anything else you'd like to add?
" It's a genius idea".
Favorite part?
"The session was interactive. The host was warm and friendly... The events are always safe."
Would you recommend it?
"Yes, I totally would... It was a great event"
Favourite part of last event?
"The reflections on anxiety (it was the theme of that event). It felt good to share how I deal with anxiety and hear how others do it as well. Definitely felt like a safe and comfortable environment to be open and vulnerable."
Favourite sessions?
"The last one was definitely extra special, because it was the first one in person, and that just makes everything that's good about Reflect & Create much better. But I did like the art I created for the Boundaries session and the poem I created for the Money session."
Why recommend it?
"As the name implies, it's a time where you get to reflect and create in a number of different ways, and there aren't really restrictions on what you HAVE to do. Everything is voluntary, and although you are given a guide on what you can do, it's always up to you. The different themes and discussions about them are always a great seed from which to build upon for your reflection and creations. On top of that, it's a safe place to let loose, have fun, and express yourself in ways you may not get to do regularly or ever."
