Mindful activities for adults to try in Australia
Unwind and switch off from the hustle of daily life by joining one of these unique creative classes across Australia, designed to relax your mind and rejuvenate your spirit. Not only are these mindful activities a great way to switch off from work, but they’re also beginner-friendly, meaning that anyone can try them regardless of experience! If you’re in Sydney, delve into the art of stained glass and create a beautiful suncatcher. Held in a sunlit studio in Dulwich Hill, you’ll feel completely relaxed as you piece together glass into your own unique design. Looking for fun things to do in Melbourne? Explore your imagination through collage making in Brunswick. In this unguided, self-directed workshop you’ll combine various textures and colours to express yourself. It’s a great way to unwind, focus on the present and let go of any work-related stress.
Keen to jump on the latest trend in mindfulness? Transform a blank canvas into a layered masterpiece at a textured art class in Brisbane. Experiment with plaster and tools and play with different techniques as you engage with your creative side. Over in Perth, try a mosaic workshop where you'll lose track of time arranging tiny pieces into a personalised house number for your home. Nurture your mental and physical wellbeing, enhance focus, and cultivate a sense of accomplishment as you create. Embrace these opportunities across Australia, and let your journey toward mindfulness and self-discovery flourish!
Creative ways to switch off from work in 2025
Try something new and find creative ways to switch off from work in 2025 with our creative workshops and experiences. Not only will you enjoy some well-deserved ‘me-time’ but you’ll also learn a new skill which you can continue to develop at home. Discover the art of Ikebana flower arranging in Sydney, allowing you both to connect with nature and find tranquillity through harmonious floral creations. Looking for unique things to do in Melbourne? Spend a day shaping and soldering at a silver ring making class. For a hands-on experience, head to Brisbane to try wheel throwing and connect with clay. On the hunt for relaxing Perth activities? Ignite your creative spark at a ceramic mug and spoon workshop. Design and shape personalised ceramics for your home that’ll make you feel great every time you use them!
These experiences go beyond just fun; they nourish your wellbeing and build your confidence too.

Take a break from the demands of daily life and switch off from work, immersing yourself in mindful activities that soothe your mind and nourish your soul. Craft enchanting scents that promote calm in Brisbane, learn how to sew in Perth, dive into water marbling in Melbourne or even try your hand at yarn dyeing and crochet in Sydney. These mindful activities not only alleviate stress but also elevate your overall wellbeing. Engage your senses, spark creativity, and connect with like-minded individuals at these unique experiences.
Looking for fun things to do in Brisbane? Try your hand at paint pouring in Rochedale South and watch as your choice of colours transform into beautiful patterns. Connect to nature at a bonsai class in Melbourne. In this relaxing Prahran workshop, learn how the Japanese art of bonsai promotes hope, serenity and grace. In Perth, create a seagrass planter and enjoy the meditative process of weaving. Searching for a way to bring mindfulness into your daily routine?
