Workshops

Alongside her artistic practice, Khaya designs and delivers creative wellbeing workshops that explore art as a tool for expression, healing, and connection. The goal is always collective healing, finding community and an opportunity for non-intimidating, accessible self care. Her sessions are rooted in openness, vulnerability, and play — encouraging participants to use creativity as a way to explore their emotions, stories, and sense of self.

With over five years of experience as a creative freelancer working in both community and mental health settings, she has facilitated workshops for people of all ages and backgrounds. Her approach focuses on accessibility, mindfulness, and self-discovery through creativity.

Focus areas: EFT Tapping, art (zine making, collaging), meditation, creative writing, motivational speaking

Since moving to Norwich, in July 2026 Khaya launched Reconnect, a monthly community circle dedicated to creating space for people to slow down, get curious and reconnect with themselves through journaling prompts, guided meditation and EFT tapping. Reconnect encourages curiosity, reflection, and accessible self-care in a welcoming, supportive environment.

The workshops are held monthly on Sundays at The Yoga Tree, Norwich. For updates and more information, visit @reconnect.circle on Instagram. A dedicated website will be launching soon.
