Switch Off Your Head, Turn On the Colors: Why You Don’t Have to Be Artists to Feel the Flow
You know the feeling? The laptop closes, the week was long, and the group chat is buzzing: "What are we doing tonight?" The classic suggestion would be: "Let's just go for a drink." That's nice, but sometimes your mind (and your friendship!) needs more than just the usual bar talk. You need an active break. A creative timeout that you experience together.
This is exactly where a painting event in Zurich comes into play. It is the perfect upgrade for your girls' night out – away from pure consumption, towards creating and laughing together.
The Flow State: Yoga for the Brain (But With Wine)
Scientists call it "Flow". It is that state where you forget time and space because you are completely absorbed in an activity. At an art workshop, exactly that happens, but the beauty is: You are not alone in it.
While you are mixing colors and making the first brushstrokes, you suddenly notice the stress of the week falling away from you. It is mindfulness that can be shared. Worries about the job? There is no room for them when you are discussing together which blue looks best. This form of stress relief often has a more lasting effect than any spa day because you share this energy as a group.
"But we can't paint at all!"
That is the sentence we hear most often at heycreate when a group of girlfriends walks in. And the answer is always the same: You don't have to!
Many haven't touched a brush since school because someone once said they lacked "talent". Bullshit. A paint event is not about perfection. It's about having a good time together.
Our guides lead you through the motif step by step. If a stroke goes wrong? Then you laugh about it and carry on. Inhibitions usually disappear after the first five minutes – at the latest when you toast with a drink and the music loosens up the mood. There is no competition amongst you, only mutual inspiration.
Moonlight Dancer: Ignite Your Inner Fire
Dancer
Unleash your creativity and paint the passionate silhouette of a dancer appearing to emerge from fire and color beneath the moon. In this workshop, you will learn how to bring energy and movement to the canvas—and feel just as free while painting as the dancer herself.
Your Artworks, Your Evening
A painting workshop in a cool bar in Zurich offers you the best of two worlds: The social atmosphere of your usual girls' night and the satisfaction of holding something of your own in your hands at the end. You don't just go home with a clearer head, but each of you has a picture under her arm that will always remind you of this evening together.
So: Round up the girls. Pick up the brush, get your hands dirty, and enjoy the flow together. See you at the easel!
