Origami sessions

Mersey Cares and your Occupational Health and Wellbeing Service are offering free monthly online origami workshops from September 2025 to November 2026, in collaboration with Origami Pulse CIC​.

Take a break for your mind – with just a piece of paper.

Led by Dr Lizzie Burns, these 45-minute creative sessions made possible thanks to National Lottery funding, are designed to support your wellbeing, focus, and resilience – and there is no experience needed!

Why try origami?

• Reduces stress through mindful, calming activity
• Improves focus and hand coordination
• Boosts creativity and self-esteem
• Encourages connection and relaxation

Origami is a practical way to bring you into the moment for calm and focus, to give a ‘holiday for the mind’,” says Dr Lizzie Burns.

You can get an idea of what to expect by watching Lizzie's video below, creating a moment of tranquility for autumn. Find comfort and joy in shaping a maple leaf and thinking of those rich warm colours which bring much needed brightness during darker times.
