Print It! 2025 Exhibition

The ground breaking exhibition Print It! is back for its fifth edition, continuing its mission to make art more accessible by removing traditional barriers that often prevent artists from showcasing their work. 

High exhibition costs—including printing, framing, transport, and venue hire—can be prohibitive, leaving many talented artists without opportunities to exhibit. Print It! was designed to overcome these challenges, offering a platform where artists can present their work without financial or logistical constraints.

Trauma Release Exercise Workshop

This workshop is designed to provide space to explore TRE®.  This body based practice safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking, or vibrating, that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system.  When this shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
