At The Chilly Collective, we love bringing people together through creativity, connection, and a good dose of hands-on joy. We proudly collaborate with artists, makers, and small businesses—like our friends at Hammer & Quill—to host a range of inspiring workshops designed to spark your imagination and feed your soul.
From painting bouquets of forever flowers and crafting wooden bunting, to making one-of-a-kind jewellery from metal & wood our sessions are all about slowing down, trying something new, and making something beautiful—whatever your experience level.
Workshops take place in our light-filled conservatory studio in Lancashire, at local spaces, or we can bring the creativity to you—we also run sessions in homes, community venues, and retreat spaces across the North West.
To book a session or explore how we can create something bespoke together, drop us a message via our contact form or email. We’d love to create with you.
Awaken Your Senses
Aromatherapy • Meditation • Breathwork
A seasonal evening of meditation, aromatherapy and gentle reconnection
As the wheel of the year turns, Beltane (1st May) marks the vibrant midpoint between the spring equinox and the summer solstice – a time of warmth, awakening and rising energy.
Inspired by this seasonal shift, this gentle evening is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body and tune into your senses.
Join Emma from The Chilly Collective and Jenn from Blue Bear Holistics for a nourishing two hour session, designed to help you step out of your busy mind and back into the quiet wisdom of your body.
Through breath, scent and seasonal ritual, we’ll explore what it feels like to move through the world more intuitively and more connected to ourselves.
What to Expect
A 2-hour restorative session held at Mother Doulas’ beautiful studio at Thornton Marsh Mill, where we’ll sink into softness and intention together.
Your evening will include:
✨ A guided meditation and gentle breathwork to help settle your nervous system and bring awareness back into the body.
✨ A warming cup of cacao, served alongside delicious nourishing treats from Proper Nom.
✨ A Scent Alchemy session where you’ll explore essential oils through instinct rather than labels. By simply noticing your body’s natural responses to scent, you’ll create a personalised essential oil blend to support you through the months ahead.
✨ A curated goodie bag to continue your awakening at home

Thursday 30th April

This is a relaxed, welcoming space to pause, breathe and reconnect with yourself as we move from the freshness of spring towards the energy of summer.
You’ll leave feeling calmer, more grounded and carrying a beautiful personalised blend and a goodie bag to take a little of the evening’s magic home with you.
No experience needed – just come as you are.
Sip & Snip
A playful, mindful evening of creativity, cacao, and slowing down.
Sip & Snip is a relaxed, lightly guided workshop where you’ll reconnect with your creativity while enjoying a warm cup of our special in-house cacao blend – nutritious, adaptogenic, and designed to help you find your flow. Dietary requirements are always catered for; just let us know in advance.
From this grounded place, we ease into collage-making. Using paper, images, textures, label makers, and simple tools, you’ll create your own piece – intuitive, themed, or reflective. Creativity can feel intimidating, so I’ll be on hand to support and guide you, offering gentle themes, tips, and techniques to help you reconnect with yourself and let your innate creativity flow. No pressure – just play, presence, and curiosity.
The evening is cosy, unhurried, and nourishing. It’s not about the finished artwork, but about giving yourself space to switch off, tune in, and let ideas surface naturally.
