“Love is all Around” – Share the love through creativity in February
Originally created in 2021 • Updated January 2026
Love Is All Around was first created during lockdown in 2021, at a time when connection, kindness, and creativity mattered more than ever. What began as a simple idea has since grown into a much-loved annual theme at Art for Wellness CIC, inviting people to explore love in all its forms through gentle, therapeutic creativity.
This February, we invite you to slow down, take a breath, and reconnect — with yourself, with others, and with your creativity.
💕 Celebrating Love in All Its Forms
A joint reflection by Heather & Debbie
Love is not just about romance. It’s about friendship, family, community, self-compassion, and the quiet joy of feeling connected.
In our workshops and creative spaces, there is no pressure and no judgement — just a welcoming environment where you can relax, explore, and express yourself freely. Every brushstroke, every word, every creative moment becomes a small act of love.
🌿 Love can be soft and gentle.
🎨 Love can be playful and expressive.
✨ Love can simply be taking time for yourself.
Take a moment to reflect:
- What does love mean to you right now?
- How can you show kindness to yourself?
- How might you share love with someone else today?
Let’s create together, surrounded by warmth, care, and connection.
💗 What Does Love Mean?
By Heather
Love isn’t just about having a partner — it is so much more than that.
It’s a time to let the people in our lives know just how much they mean to us. When Love Is All Around first began in 2021, we were in lockdown, and simple acts of connection felt incredibly important.
Love can mean:
- Partners, parents, children, and friends
- The unconditional love of pets
- A phone call, a message, or spending time together
Why not get creative and make your own personalised cards? Or spend time with the people you live with doing things you enjoy together.One of the most important things — and sometimes the hardest — is learning to love and be kind to yourself. Find time to relax. Pause. And remind yourself just how amazing you are.
💖 What Does Love Mean?
By Debbie
Through discovering art for wellness, and finding myself on this journey, I wrote this poem in 2021 — a reflection on change, growth, and connection:
Who I was in another life,
Someone’s daughter, someone’s wife,
A friend who never said no,
Quiet and introvert, no place to go.
And now I find my life is changed,
With love and friendship rearranged,
New relationships that fit the real me,
This is the place I want to be.
So here I am celebrating my life,
A wonderful man as his friend and wife,
New friends from all around the world,
Sharing creativity with an open heart,
Inspiring hope and joy for mental wellness through art.
As the future unfolds, what will life bring?
Opportunities, adventure, and unknown ideas.
Take a chance, take a risk, don’t be held back by fears.
Stretch and grow, watch the path ahead,
You never know what time will tell,
How many lives you may change as well.
So keep believing in your dreams,
Grasp each chance, talk and learn,
Partnership working together is fun —
The way to succeed for everyone.
Suffice to say, it’s Valentine’s Day,
A reminder to give love all around.
