HeArt Sharing Circle

Creativity isn’t just about the art you make - it’s about the feelings, fears, and stories that come up along the way.

In this gentle, supportive circle, you’ll have a safe space to share what’s coming up for you in your art practice. By listening and connecting with others, you’ll realise you’re not alone in the challenges, insecurities, and breakthroughs that happen while learning.

Each person’s courage to be vulnerable creates a ripple, helping others feel safe to share more deeply.

This is about connection, empathy, and supporting each other’s growth - both as artists and as people.

Benefits of Participating in a HeArt Sharing Circle

  • Feel deeply heard without interruption or judgment Experience the healing power of being listened to in silence - without advice, opinions, or interruptions.

  • Access your own inner clarity and wisdom Speaking aloud without needing to justify or explain often reveals surprising insight and emotional truth.

  • Build emotional literacy and expressiveness Strengthen your ability to name and articulate your feelings in a safe, supported environment.

  • Experience connection without pressure Discover how much can be shared and felt without direct conversation - just by witnessing and being witnessed.

  • Develop your presence and listening capacity Practise being fully with someone else’s experience, free from the urge to fix, compare, or respond.

  • Grow trust and relational safety Consistent agreements, visual commitments, and shared values create a culture of care and integrity.

  • Relieve isolation and deepen a sense of belonging Realise you’re not alone in your struggles, even when your story isn’t exactly the same as someone else’s.

  • Feel the power of communal presence and non-verbal resonance A hand on a heart or a gentle nod can say “me too” in ways that don’t interrupt the flow of the circle

YOUR FACILITATOR - FORTÉ WORTHY

Forté’s Story: From Struggle to Relational Fitness

Forté Worthy is a facilitator and Clear Communication Specialist who helps people build what he calls relational fitness—the skills of listening deeply, expressing needs honestly, and creating meaningful connection. His work grew out of his own journey of learning how to balance self-care with connection. After years of people-pleasing and emotional suppression in teaching and wellbeing roles, Forté discovered the power of vulnerability, empathy, and clear communication to transform relationships from the inside out. With training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Authentic Relating, and Nonviolent Communication (NVC), alongside a background in psychology, education, and counselling, Forté combines practical tools with lived experience. What sets him apart is his honesty and willingness to share his own story, creating spaces where others feel safe to explore theirs. Through workshops, circles, and one-on-one coaching, Forté supports individuals and groups to slow down, listen, and connect more meaningfully—with themselves and each other. His approach is grounded, hopeful, and deeply human: an invitation to discover how courage, compassion, and communication can change the way we relate.
