What colors hold the weight of your silence? Join us for a creative, expressive evening of painting, reflection, and connection at Aconchego House 🌈

Using envelopes as symbolic containers and paint as our language, we’ll explore the messages we never sent, the feelings we couldn’t name, and the parts of ourselves ready to bloom. This session is inspired by the season of growth, the weight of unspoken truths, and the soft bravery of becoming.
Time: Starting 6 pm sharp till 8pm

Aren’t these workshops just art therapy sessions ?
No. While rooted in my background in clinical psychology and art therapy training, they’re intentionally designed as creative spaces,not clinical sessions. The focus is on process, presence, and personal meaning without aiming to diagnose or treat.
Will I have to explain my art to others?
Nope! Your art is your personal expression. You’re welcome to share if you want, but there’s no pressure to explain or justify your work.
Will I feel out of place if I’m not good at art?
Not at all! These workshops are designed for everyone, including people who haven’t picked up a paintbrush in years. It’s about the experience, not the end result.
Will the facilitator analyze my artwork and tell me what it means?
No, facilitators do not interpret your artwork for you. Unlike traditional art therapy, where therapists might explore symbolism with clients, mindful art workshops encourage self-reflection. Your meaning is personal and unique to you.
Can’t I just do mindful art on my own? Why join a workshop?
While you can practice mindful art alone, workshops offer guidance, structure, and a supportive community that enhances the experience. Group energy can also inspire deeper creativity and reflection.
Isn’t mindful art just an arts and crafts session?
No, mindful art is intentional and focuses on the inner experience rather than making decorative or functional crafts. It’s about process over product.
Do I have to follow strict rules or techniques?
Absolutely not! Mindful art workshops embrace free expression. There are gentle prompts and guidance, but the process is flexible, and there’s no right or wrong way to create.

Olá! I’m Aida
I’m the founder of Fluid Art & Wellness, a creative space based in Lisbon, Portugal, where I bring together my passion for art, expression, and meaningful connection. My approach is eclectic, drawing from a wide range of disciplines to offer enriching, experiential sessions that invite you to slow down, explore, and create with intention.
With both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Psychology, my background bridges academic training and hands-on practice. I’m certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mhGAP: Psychological Primary Care, and Feng Shui-based face reading. My training in Art Therapy and Community Art was completed at Metàfora in Spain, where I studied under a psychodynamic, relational approach , a foundation that continues to shape the way I hold space for creative exploration.
Over the years, I’ve facilitated art-based experiences in many different contexts, including hospitals, international expat circles, LGBTQIA+ communities, and outdoor mindful art sessions in nature. I love working with a range of materials like acrylics, watercolors, clay, collage, and mixed media, adapting each session to meet the moment and the people in the room.
Before stepping fully into this path, I spent over 13 years in the corporate world, which now informs my creative group mentoring and team-focused sessions. I enjoy blending my organizational experience with my creative practice to offer workshops that feel both grounded and expansive.
Fluent in English, Arabic, and French, I create inclusive, welcoming spaces for people from all backgrounds. Whether you’re based in Lisbon or just visiting, I’d love to invite you to join me in a creative experience that’s fluid, freeing, and uniquely yours.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
