TCCSA Harmony Hub: Mindfulness & Maker Workshop

Welcome to the Harmony Hub at TCCSA Toronto Centre, a unique space designed for serene connections, relaxation, and creativity, especially for newcomers to Canada. Join us for an enriching in-person session that blends the tranquility of mindfulness with the joy of hands-on crafting. This workshop is more than just an activity; it's a welcoming community where you can unwind, explore your creative side, and connect with new friends in a supportive environment.

A Sanctuary for Mind and Creativity

Our session on Saturday, August 15, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM, will focus on two key areas: Mindfulness Practice and Toxin-free Lip Stick Making. The first half of this 90-minute session is dedicated to mindfulness techniques, guided to help you relieve stress, quiet your mind, and find your inner peace. These practices are invaluable tools for navigating daily life and fostering a sense of calm and presence.

Following the mindfulness practice, we will transition into an engaging maker activity: crafting your very own toxin-free lipstick. This hands-on workshop not only allows you to unleash your creativity but also empowers you to make conscious choices about the products you use. You'll learn about natural ingredients and the process of creating a personal care item that is both beautiful and safe. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn a new skill while enjoying the satisfaction of creating something unique and beneficial for yourself.

Fostering Community for Newcomers

This Harmony Hub workshop series is proudly sponsored by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and warmly welcomes Permanent Residents and Convention Refugees.
