We all know what triggers feel like — the moments that spark stress or heavy emotions. But there's an opposite too: glimmers, the small moments that make us feel safe, calm and at peace. The warmth of sunlight, the smell of fresh coffee, laughter with a friend.

This workshop, held at Nibble Nest Cafe and led by certified art therapist Deeptha Umapathy, founder of Giggle Minds Collective, was all about pausing to notice those glimmers. Through mindfulness, journaling and gentle activities, a handful of participants gathered to release what weighed them down and reconnect with the sparks of light in everyday life.
We laughed, reflected, and talked through why triggers feel loud while glimmers feel soft. As Deeptha put it — joy and calm are gentle forces we often overlook and inviting them in reshapes everything.
