- [Mother's Day - Spiritual & Art Workshop 'Chakra Blossom'](https://mariyamcallister.com/product/mothersday2026/) - Celebrate Mother's Day with a morning that nourishes the soul as much as it delights the senses. This special four-and-a-half-hour event at Soken House, Frinton-on-Sea combines spiritual practice with hands-on creativity — no experience required, just an open heart. The morning unfolds in three parts: Spiritual teacher Tracie Long opens with a guided root-to-crown chakra meditation, leading you gently through your body's energy centres to arrive fully present, calm, and ready to create. Afterwards, you'll draw a single angel card guided by the prompt: "What message does my inner mother need to hear today?" — a quiet, personal moment of reflection and guidance. Then artist Mariya McAllister takes you through a step-by-step acrylic painting session. You'll choose a chakra flower that resonates with you — from a grounding red rose to a luminous white lotus — and paint it onto canvas with patient guidance, colour mixing demonstrations, and warm encouragement. You leave with a painting you'll be genuinely proud of. What's included: Guided chakra meditation Mini angel card reading Acrylic painting session with all materials provided
