What is expressive arts?
Expressive arts is a multimodal practice that invites expression through visual arts, movement, sound, writing, and sensory exploration.
It centres on the creative process itself — noticing what emerges and reconnecting with presence and possibility. It's not about being "good" at art, but values experience and awareness over aesthetics.
By engaging the senses and imagination, it helps you tap into inner resources and uncover new perspectives for growth and insight.
What this practice offers:
an improved sense of well-being
reduced stress and overwhelm
access to personal strengths and resources
new ways of seeing and responding to life
tools for self-discovery and learning with play
creative empowerment
“Imagination connects us with what is possible”
Ways to work together
expressive arts for connection, creativity, and clarity
Group Creative Sessions
reflection, expression, community
Creative workshops where people can slow down, connect with themselves and others, and create together. Sessions draw on different expressive modalities and are often centred on a theme or explore a specific topic.
Offered as one-off sessions or ongoing series, each workshop is a guided, accessible creative exploration for meaning-making and play.
Teams & Organisations
communication, connection, collaboration
Group sessions that support team well-being, closer collaboration, and improved communication. Using simple creative tools, these workshops open space for new ideas, shared insight, and meaningful dialogue.
Sessions can be tailored to a specific topic and offer an alternative to traditional team-building grounded in creativity and human connection.
Expressive Arts Coaching
one-to-one, resourcing, explorative
A supportive space for personal reflection and creative self-exploration. Depending on your needs, sessions may include writing, visual arts, movement, or sound as creative practices to support expression and insight.
This personal creative work can foster deeper awareness, emotional resilience, and an expanded sense of possibility, with a focus on activating inner resources.

How it works: The process
1.
Arrive & Settle: landing
Through simple grounding exercises, you’re invited to shift from the outside world into a creative space and arrive here gently.
2.
Be Curious & Create: exploration
You’ll be guided through accessible exercises using different materials. There’s no right way with a high-sensitivity, low-skill approach.
3.
Reflect & Close: integration
We end with reflection and optional sharing. This time is to witness, close the exploration and prepare to step back into everyday life.

About the sozo space
Hi, my name is Zoe. I created the sozo space as a place where art meets awareness, where expression becomes a way of listening and curiosity becomes a path home.
I’m an expressive arts facilitator with a background in psychology, writing, marketing, and visual communication, and I’m currently completing expressive arts therapy training.
Each session is held with care, sensitivity, and a grounded professional practice, making room for what is tender, shifting, or quietly taking shape.
-
Not at all. Expressive arts is process-based, not skill-based — curiosity is enough.
-
We begin with a gentle arrival, followed by guided creative exploration using simple materials or accessible modalities. We close with reflection and optional sharing.
-
Expressive arts can be therapeutic, but sessions at the sozo space are not therapy. They offer creative support for insight, well-being, and self-expression.
-
Many people arrive feeling a bit shy or uncertain. Sessions are held with care and sensitivity, and you're encouraged to move at your own pace and only do what you feel comfortable with.
-
If you’re curious about exploring your inner world or want a creative space for reflection and self-discovery, expressive arts may be a good fit. You’re welcome to reach out with any questions.

Yes. Some 1:1 sessions and workshops can be offered online. Check the Events page or reach out to see what we can set up.
