Connection: Cultivate an Open Heart

Join Joalida and Susan on a monthly meditation and art evening where we will use visualisation to connect with your inner self to access our universal creativity to live a life of purpose and meaning. Susan will start the evening with a guided meditation and visualisation, we will then move to Joalida’s studio and explore visually what came up for us during the meditation. No prior art experience required. All materials and snacks provided.

Joalida Smit is a Clinical Psychologist and Neuropsychologist who lived and worked in London (UK) and Cape Town (SA) for the past 20 years. She pivoted to full time artist during COVID and now runs an art studio at The Gorton Center working on large scale canvases. Currently she is exploring innovative ways to incorporate art in the psychology work of personal transformation.
