At Pure Énergie Positive (PEP), we believe creativity is for everyone, not despite our differences, but because of them.
Whether you identify as neurodivergent, autistic, highly sensitive, gifted, burned out, or simply different, this is a space made for you.
For many neurodivergent people, words are not always enough.
Art-therapy opens a parallel language, one made of color, movement, and texture, where thoughts can breathe before they’re spoken.
Through creative exploration, participants can process emotions, regulate sensory overload, and reconnect with their sense of agency.
It’s not about producing art, but about using art to listen to oneself differently.
At PEP, we adapt each session to individual rhythms and sensitivities. Whether through painting, collage, sculpture, or sound, we create gentle frameworks that allow spontaneous expression without judgment or pressure.
Art becomes both a tool for healing and a bridge toward communication, a way to transform inner chaos into visible form, and to feel understood without having to explain.
Autistic and neurodivergent individuals often carry unique strengths, deep creativity, and powerful perspectives, yet are asked to “adapt” in spaces not made for them.
At PEP, we flip the script.
We provide creative experiences that adapt to you, with clear structure, sensory-friendly settings, and facilitators trained in inclusive communication. You don’t have to pretend, translate, or mask.
You are free to stim, pause, and create in the way that feels right.
🖌️ Workshops may include:
“Art for Quiet Thinkers”
“Creative Circles for Neurodivergent Adults”
“Sensory Painting & Expression”
“Color Outside the Lines: Art for Autistic Youth”
👩🎨 One-on-one or small group formats available
Are you deeply emotional, quick to process, or intensely focused? Maybe you’ve been labeled “high potential,” “HPI,” or “hypersensitive” and it didn’t feel like a compliment.
The truth is: many people with high cognitive or emotional capacities struggle in traditional environments. Not because they can’t, but because they feel and sense too much, and get overwhelmed.
At PEP, we embrace your depth and intensity as creative fuel. Our workshops are calm, flexible, and grounded in emotional safety. There is no performance here, just space to be fully yourself.

“Deep Feelers, Big Colors”
“Highly Sensitive, Highly Creative”
“Draw What You Can’t Say”
“Calm the Nervous System Through Art”
Burnout doesn’t always come from doing too little. It often comes from doing too much for too long, especially for those who’ve masked, adapted, over-performed, or carried emotional labor for others.
At PEP, we see burnout as a sign of wisdom, a body telling the truth.
We offer gentle spaces for rest, creativity, and reconnection. You don’t need to explain or justify. You can just arrive.
🌱 Workshop suggestions:
