Around 45 people gathered in the grounds of Sacred Heart Church in Ramsey on Sunday August 23 for an afternoon of creativity, conversation and reflection. Raphael Suh and Eilish Storey report.

Participants were invited to express and share what brings hope into their lives through creative art-making.

Organised by the church community and Ramsey Quiet Garden, the event was open to everyone and brought people from different communities together in a welcoming and reflective setting.

Tea and cake were plentiful throughout the afternoon, which concluded with a pop-up exhibition showcasing the participants’ creative expressions. Those taking part were also able to take their canvases home as a tangible reminder of their personal reflections on hope.

Reflecting on the experience, one participant said: “This felt so therapeutic, and I enjoyed embarking on this creative journey.”

Another added: “It was just great coming together to create and share these perspectives on the theme of hope.”
