Become a Conscious Crafting facilitator

Are you passionate about promoting positive mental health and well-being? Do you believe in the transformative power of play and self-expression in a supportive environment? If your heart says “yes,” then it’s time to step forward and become a Conscious Crafting Facilitator. We’re looking for inspiring individuals to lead workshops that go beyond traditional crafting, focusing on nurturing mental health and building a community of like-minded souls.

Why Join Us as a Conscious Crafting facilitator?

Conscious Crafting workshops are more than just about making things; they’re about creating moments of joy, relaxation, and connection. As a facilitator, you will guide participants through activities designed not only to teach new skills but also to enhance mental well-being and personal growth. Here’s what you’ll bring into the lives of participants:

Encourage Play and Creativity

Help participants rediscover the joy of play and creativity, essential elements for mental health that are often neglected in adulthood.

Foster a Safe, Supportive Space

Create a welcoming environment where mostly women can feel safe to express themselves, try new things, and share personal insights without judgment.

Promote Well-being through Self-expression

Use art and crafting as tools for self-expression and emotional exploration, helping participants to unwind and find peace in their creations.

What Does a Workshop Involve?

You will receive training and support before running your own first workshop. The workshop material is available for you before the workshop and the craft material is all provided in handy crates. Each workshop is a carefully curated experience that includes:

Guided Meditation

Start sessions with meditation to set a calming tone, helping participants to center themselves and open up to the creative process. These are pre-recorded as well as provided in print if you wish to read it out loud.

Playful Crafting Activities

Introduce simple, enjoyable crafting activities that encourage playfulness and experimentation, designed for any skill level and focusing on the process over perfection. Facilitators are requested not to join the activity themselves and not to touch the artwork of the participants.

Reflective Journaling and Group Discussion

Facilitate journaling and discussions that allow participants to reflect on their experiences and share insights in a supportive group setting.

Who We are Looking for

We are searching for facilitators who are:

  • Advocates for mental health
  • Encourage interaction between participants
  • Community builders
  • Great Communicators
  • Empathetic and inclusive
  • Skilled in guiding discussions and activities in a way that everyone feels heard and valued.
  • Steering away from traditional art class “rules”

We are not looking for artists, as we are not claiming to teach art and most of the the craft activities are on pre-primary school level. The programs are fully designed, developed and refined with the methodology in mind.

If you are looking for a full time position, the ad hoc nature of the workshops are also not suitable for you. However, if you have extra time or certain times in the day, or want to get back into the working world in a very satisfying role, this is for you! We will *always* first check in with you about your availability before we commit to a client.

Renumeration

Conscious Crafting pays €40 euro per session (a typical session is 2 hours), paid at the end of each month for all sessions facilitated during that month. The set up and pack away requires a bit of time before and after, but when experienced it’s not a long time at all; about 15/20 mins, provided participants have been encouraged to help clean up during the workshop time. Travel cost to venue compensated based on standard KM rates or public transport tickets from the city centre of your area.

how to Join Our Team

Being a Conscious Crafting Facilitator is about more than just leading a workshop; it’s about inspiring change, promoting mental health, and providing a sanctuary where participants can freely explore their creativity.
