The Language of Colour - Workshop Series

A journey into the art, energy, and expression of colour.

The Colour Series is a three-part workshop experience designed to help you connect with the deeper meaning of colour and how it shapes the way we express ourselves. Through each session, you’ll explore a unique aspect of this journey:

1. The Language of Colour Understand the foundations of colour theory and its energetic correspondences, exploring how tones, temperatures, and elemental qualities shape emotion and perception. You’ll learn how colours relate to one another on the colour wheel—how they balance, contrast, and harmonise—and how these relationships influence mood, depth, and atmosphere. This introduction helps you begin recognising your own resonant palette and using colour with greater intention, intuition, and creative clarity.

2. Create Your Own Lip Tint Craft your own organic tint with mindful intention, transforming a simple act of creation into a self-care ritual that bridges beauty, symbolism, and consciousness. From ancient Egypt to the Greeks and Romans, and throughout human history, we have always used adornments. From special attires to using colour on our skin —colors that hold personal significance or meaning for our communities. Lipstick, in particular, has an important story of luxury and rebellion that is ingrained in its use. Create your own personal blend of natural pigments in a base of plant extracts, add your favourite scent for your signature lip colour. 

Simply You - The One-Product Makeup Experience Learn to create a complete, natural look using a single organic product, embracing makeup as a tool for self-expression, confidence, and authenticity. This is an empowering, hands-on workshop that invites you to rediscover makeup as an act of self-love and creative expression. Together, we’ll move through each step as you learn to create a complete, natural look using just one organic make up product — exploring how color, simplicity, and intention can reveal your authentic beauty. This is more than technique; it’s a mindful experience that celebrates confidence, connection, and the art of feeling at home in your own skin

Together, these workshops invite you to explore colour not only as something you see — but as something you feel, embody, and live.
