Many of the world’s problems are exacerbated by our disconnection to the natural world, other people, our emotions and to our creativity – which is of course the very thing that could and would solve them.
Our creative selves are more powerful than we can imagine – and our imaginations and desires shape our world. We can choose whether to reinforce the destructive status quo or to truly live and to create a new world around us.
Consumer or creator? You decide.
Though the smallest gathering so far, this may well have been the one that raised the most passionate responses in all those taking part.
in the first half of the evening we split into two groups to explore the pros and cons of all working by yourself and working in a team respectively. What was interesting was that one group really closely followed the facilitators suggestion, and looked for the negative and positive sides of certain aspects, whereas the other went for a much more organic approach and explored possibilities of working together in a very imaginative and light-hearted way.
Right now as a society we are engaged the biggest gamble of all time, a bet that the global warming canaries are wrong, climate change is all natural and inevitable and that there's nothing we can or should do.

Our creativity is an important part of our everyday lives and yet is neglected, demeaned and for many of us something we are made to feel is a luxury.
We’re exploring how we can return creativity it to its rightful place and we’d like to invite you to join us.
We believe you’ll enjoy exploring this topic with us in an informal way, and it will also help us develop a more structured training model for the future.
