Here, Together – GM Live Well Festival

Here, Together is a free, relaxed creative wellbeing session designed to help people pause, connect and feel part of their community.

Inspired by the Pebble Wood™ story world and the power of noticing small moments, the session offers gentle, accessible creative activities that support emotional wellbeing, confidence and connection. Activities are open-ended and can be joined at any pace, making the space welcoming for people who may not feel comfortable attending traditional groups.

Participants will be invited to create a small piece for a shared community collage, contributing to something collective while still honouring their individual experience. The session supports preventative wellbeing by offering a calm, inclusive environment where people can feel seen, valued and connected.

Activities may include

• Simple craft and collage activities

• Creative reflection and imagination prompts

• Nature-inspired storytelling

• Optional opportunities to share or display creations

The session is open to adults, families and individuals of all confidence levels. No experience is needed. People can stay for as long or as little as they wish.

Alongside the in-person session, the Here, Together community story will be available to read online between 9th and 23rd March at
