A THRIVE Event

Engage with THRIVE by joining us for Greeting Card making! Maybe you're trying to making something original for your valentine, have a friend's birthday coming up, or even just want to write a kind letter to yourself. Join us and decorate your own card with paint, coloured paper and tape!

You'll be supported, but this session is not instructor led, follow your heart on how you approach your own work.

All THRIVE events and activities are set up to align with the PERMA model of positive psychology and are designed to meet at least TWO of the model's five core elements of wellbeing: Positive Emotions; Engagement; Relationships; Meaning; and Accomplishment.

Here's how this activity meets the model:

POSITIVE EMOTIONS

Creative activities can bring positive feelings of joy, connection and playfulness. Finding the time and space to bring about these emotions are great in the moment, and doing this regularly is even better - making a habit of a creative hobby or task can be incredibly satisfying, giving you an escape from the demands of the day.

ENGAGEMENT

Focusing on a task, especially a creative one like this, which needs both the attention of your mind and your hands, allows you to be absorbed in just one moment and one task. Our lives are busy and are to-do lists can be long. Let yourself find your flow and maybe even build your art skills.

RELATIONSHIPS

Whether you choose to chat or not, being in a shared space and focusing on the same task can create a feeling of community. Embracing community can help combat loneliness, bring people closer together, and create a feeling of safety. And  if you choose to share this card with someone, you can think of it as sharing a piece of yourself.

ACCOMPLISHMENT

You didn't just go pick up a card at the shop, you took the time to make this one yourself. You made it personal. It's truly unique and we're sure the recipient will appreciate that. You should be proud!
