Wild Creativity Presents “Creative Freedom & Cacao”
Wild Creativity Presents “Creative Freedom & Cacao”- a unique event that invites you to partake in an alternative sketch and sip session. Set for Sunday, 22nd May 2025 from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Wax Spiritual in Colchester.
Join us at Wax Spiritual for Creative Freedom & Cacao, a soul-nourishing sketch & sip session hosted by Sophie Maliphant of Wild Creativity. More than a workshop, this is a grounded and intentional gathering that invites you to honour your emotional landscape, awaken creative expression, and mark your magick, just as you are.
We begin at 4pm with a gentle grounding practice, opening sacred space to help you settle into presence. You’ll then be guided through a cacao ceremony using ethically sourced ceremonial-grade cacao, known for its heart-opening qualities and its place in ancient Mesoamerican tradition. This sacred drink is believed to support emotional release and intuitive clarity, creating a beautiful bridge to self-expression through art. (Please notify us of any allergies or dietary needs in advance.)
Once the heart has spoken, we move into creative play. Each guest receives a celebratory gift: a hand-printed sketchbook and all drawing materials needed. With no pressure to perform or create “perfect” art, you’re invited to draw, doodle, or simply make your mark. Whether you’re processing grief, celebrating a milestone, or seeking inspiration, you’re welcome here.
We’ll also create a collaborative hand-printed piece as a collective offering of what it means to take up space creatively.
This special event coincides with the publication of Sophie’s article in Witches Magazine, celebrating the power of creative reclamation. It also marks the closing of her artwork exhibition at Wax Spiritual, which has inspired and connected many over the past months.
Who is this for?
Anyone curious to reconnect with their creativity—no art experience needed. You don’t need to feel “creative” or “healed” to attend. “All of you is welcome: the joyful, the grieving, the unsure.”
