Tess’s sessions allow women to step back, reflect, and create visual maps of their inner worlds with honesty and care.

The EveryWoman Gathering Workshop
Picture Your Unfurled Wings
In this practical and playful collage art session, participants are invited to sit in circle and explore a large collection of picture books and images — searching for the ones that spark recognition and joy: “Yes! That’s what my life looks like with unfurled wings!”
Guided by Tess, the group will cut, arrange, and glue images to create a personal visual reminder of their unfolding journey — a reflection of who they are becoming and where their wings will take them next. Throughout the process, Tess offers gentle guidance on how to recognise the images that resonate, arrange them meaningfully, and translate feelings and intentions into visual form.
This hands-on, creative workshop provides a joyful opportunity to transform the weekend’s reflections into a tangible gift to oneself — a piece that celebrates new beginnings and the freedom of flight. All materials are provided.
