As we kick off 2025, we’re filled with gratitude and excitement while reflecting on an incredible 2024 at Evoke: Creative Wellness. What began as a simple idea for a poetry workshop has grown into something far greater – a thriving community rooted in creativity, connection, and healing.

Last year, we had the privilege of working with businesses, councils, schools, and community groups – running workshops that blend mindfulness practises, breath-work, team building and creative writing. From our powerful sessions with Soho House, Taste Film, and ICE Network to deeply personal and moving work with The Forward Trust, NHS teams, and local councils, every experience has been a reminder of why we started Evoke.

A major highlight was our training retreat in Nantes, where we worked alongside talented mentors, expanding the Evoke model and building a foundation for the future.

Our mission has always been simple – to create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves and others, finding calm, self-expression, and growth through creativity. This year, we’ve witnessed firsthand how storytelling, poetry, and shared experiences can break down barriers and spark transformation.

As we look ahead to 2025, we’re excited to continue this journey, bringing creative wellness into more spaces, reaching more communities, and creating lasting impact.

To everyone who attended a workshop, partnered with us, or supported us from afar – thank you. Your energy and belief in Evoke mean the world to us.

Here’s to more creativity, connection, and growth in 2025!

🎥 Big thanks to @rafevisions for capturing the magic.
