CREATIVE COMPANIONSHIP
Not everything we experience is easy to put into words.
CHROMA|SOMA is a personalized creative experience that brings together artistic expression, gentle movement, and mindful presence.
Depending on your interests and comfort, our time together may include painting, drawing, writing, movement, dance, voice, body awareness, or symbolic creative practices.
There is no right way to participate. No artistic experience is needed, and nothing has to look or feel a certain way.
This is not about creating a perfect artwork. It's about having the freedom to explore, express, and reconnect with your own creative possibilities.
€90 · Introductory rate · 2 hours
Available as a standalone experience or as an optional addition to your companionship journey.
Regular rate: €120. We arrange creative activities based on your needs, preferences, and consent.
I'm Franca Franchi, a multidisciplinary artist with over 25 years of creative experience, a Creative Life & Grief Doula, and the person behind THE CLAN.
Throughout my artistic journey and personal life, I've explored the relationship between human experience, creative expression, the body, and our capacity to navigate change.
Today, my work brings together human connection, creativity, emotional presence, and a deep respect for the many ways we experience life, loss, and transformation.
I believe difficult moments don't always need immediate answers. Sometimes, what makes a difference is having someone willing to sit beside us, listen without judgment, and offer genuine care. I know this because I once needed that someone by my side. So I became someone who is here to be by your side when you need it.
THE CLAN invites you to experience that kind of companionship.
Come as you are. We'll begin from there.
