HELD: 'response art' events | Linktree

HELD is a space for you. A place of creative rest, somewhere to slow down and listen up.  A co-produced, collaborative experience of artmaking and music; listening and responding. A place to find your rhythm, the rhythm of the room, or the season. You do not need any artistic or creative experience. 

We meet several time a year, in different locations, to connect with ourselves, our environment and each other.

HELD is a space for sensitive humans living in a challenging world. Perhaps you are giving, caring, exhausted, or overwhelmed. Or perhaps you are just curious. Join us. 


What is HELD?

Gemma Wrigley: Art Psychotherapist (HCPC) with a special interest in nature-based creative practices.

Alex Levene: Art Psychotherapist (HCPC) with an interest in non-verbal communication and the felt sense.

Music: We work with different musicians, DJs and curators for each event.

Disclaimer: Held is a creative experience and not a psychotherapy session. Participants may find sessions therapeutic, but they are not a substitute for professional medical or psychological care. 

Who are we?

We create spaces for you to creatively respond to themes and sounds inspired by the seasons and the wheel of the year. We give less emphasis to talking and more to looking, listening and responding through artmaking and creative expression. We provide all art materials (and gentle guidance if needed). 

We encourage leaning into ‘not knowing’ what the event might bring. If the idea of this makes you feel anxious or uncomfortable, please let us know and we can tell you more. 

Every invitation to participate is optional, the time is yours, to use in a way that is helpful or enjoyable.
