workshops 


Onion Projects offers a range of creative workshops designed to explore the common ground between spirituality, culture and our daily lives. These events are participatory and reflective, and encourage participants to share their insights and experiences in a relaxed and renewing atmosphere.

Our workshops are suitable for arts centres, colleges, churches and community groups, and and can be tailored to specific requirements. 

The following workshops have proved popular and can be delivered anywhere in England.
