SENTIŌ

Art Healing & Ecstatic Movement

@ Dāna Café | Wed, 1st July 2026 | 19:00 - 20:30

_ Theme: Inner Balance _

In this restorative session, we will explore our sense of inner balance, where we have possibly stretched too much or too thin, or perhaps not enough. It's a mid-year invitation to get back to the self in a gentle, honouring way.

Guided by medicine music, we will be using crayons and colour sticks to reconnect with our inner child. We'll ground the mind, body and spirit through spontaneity, curiosity, and embodied freedom.

What happens during the session:

Arrival: meditation and intention
**Healing process: ** Guided by music, we’ll activate the subconscious through painting & movement *
**Remembering: ** Gentle prompts to access the subconscious
**Sharing circle: ** Integrative, allowing space for openness and community

What to bring:

Comfortable clothing to move freely
A water bottle to stay hydrated
An open heart and a willingness to let go and have fun!

Art materials are provided. No art skills needed! Come as you are.

What is SENTIŌ?

🌿 SENTIŌ (/ˈsen.ti.oː/ – Latin: “to feel deeply, to sense”) is a mindfulness program for self-discovery rooted in the principle of Music as Medicine. Music has always been more than entertainment. Across cultures and generations, it has been used to soothe, energise, and connect people to themselves and to each other. Research also shows that sound supports our nervous system, emotions, and sense of belonging.

Each session is designed as a gentle yet transformative experience, inviting participants to pause, reconnect, and translate inner landscapes. Open to all levels and backgrounds, SENTIŌ values process over product, honouring curiosity, presence, and emotional freedom as tools for wellbeing and growth. It blends art healing, mindful listening, and movement to create spaces where creativity becomes a pathway to emotional release, sensory awareness, and embodied presence.
