Stepping stones in words and pictures in Helsinki on 21.5.2025

The workshop is part of Mieli ry's Mental Health Art Week (MHAW).

Come and create your own life's stepping stones in a photo and word art workshop.

The workshop is part of the Mental Health Art Week (MHAW) and is a free mental wellbeing activity offered by the Mental Health Culture and Mental Health Association.

In this workshop, we combine photography and creative writing into a gentle, self-realising whole.

The workshop will start with picture cards, and we will freely write down thoughts, memories and insights based on the images and emotions they evoke. This will tune you into the frequency of your own steps.

Then we move outside to take pictures. We'll give you the camera and you don't need any previous experience in photography. The photos are meant to support your inner journey and help you visualise the milestones that are meaningful to you.

At the end of the workshop, we return to write small poems or poetic texts based on the pictures we have taken.

The result is a personalised visual and verbal compass that you can carry with you for a long time to come.
