The Interior Workshop
Artistic mediation & a space for self-reflection
Creative workshops to connect with oneself, with others and with life.
The Interior Workshop is a space where creation becomes a path back to oneself.
I offer artistic mediation workshops in various settings (nursing homes, residences, CCAS, social centers, etc.), in groups or individually.
Here, it is not about “making something beautiful”, but about breathing, feeling and expressing oneself through matter, color and gesture.
What is L'Atelier Intérieur?
The Interior Workshop is an artistic mediation proposal that I carry out with my dual perspective as a painter and caregiver .
Here, creation is not an aesthetic goal: it is a path back to oneself , a gentle way to connect with what lives within .
I accompany people there to:
-
to settle ,
-
to connect with their emotions ,
-
to rediscover pleasure, curiosity, and inner movement
-
to explore matter , colour and gesture according to their rhythm.
The Inner Workshop is not therapy in the medical sense of the term , but a space for well-being , expression and self-presence.
A place where you can breathe , where you sometimes surprise yourself, and where everyone moves at their own pace.
Who are these workshops for?

How does a session unfold?
Each workshop at L'Atelier Intérieur follows a rhythm designed to offer a space where one can relax, create, and breathe differently .
Here are the four parts that structure a session, whether individual or group.
1
Welcome and introduction
The session opens with an arrival moment:
-
a time to rest the body ,
-
let the mind settle down.
-
recognize how you feel.
This moment can be silent, guided, or accompanied by a short breath.
It allows you to gently enter the creative space.
2
Guided creative proposal
I'm introducing a simple theme, accessible to everyone:
the emotion of the day, the gesture of the heart, the inner trace, the movement of color…
I present the materials and offer some clear instructions.
This lightweight framework allows for direction without being restrictive, leaving room for freedom and intuition .
3
Free creative time
This is the heart of the session.
Everyone progresses at their own pace, in silence or by exchanging ideas if necessary.
I'm traveling to:
-
sustain ,
-
to accompany ,
-
adjust the proposal if necessary.
-
without ever commenting on the “quality” of the result.
Here, there is neither performance nor comparison : only a sensitive dialogue between oneself and matter.
4
Voluntary sharing & closure
At the end of the session, time is offered for those who wish to share:
-
one word,
-
a feeling,
-
a color,
-
or simply a breath.
It is never about interpreting the works, but about recognizing the experience , the sensation, the inner movement that has emerged.
The session ends with a return to calm, allowing you to leave feeling more aligned, more present with yourself.
