The 28th of November is Buy Nothing Day! A perfect day to explore ways to create and enjoy life - without buying.

Consumer or creator? You decide. BOOK NOW!

All living things consume. Plants need nutrients, minerals, sunlight and water. Animals need food and water to grow and reproduce, but they only take what they need or store for long winters. Throughout human history, we have been the same.

Thankfully, many of us today are far removed from hunger and other hardships. Yet, we still feel poor and unfulfilled. We overeat, overshop and hoard - and still don't feel happy. The human species is unique in it's over consumption. Perhaps because we're wired to think it won't last for ever; an old animal survival instinct?

We’re not going to tell you what you can and cannot buy. We’re here to help you discover what you could be doing instead and to nudge you out into your new creative universe.

In this one day workshop, we use ideas, tools, and dynamic activities to:

* find out where our creativity has gone

* switch from consumer to creator

* remove the barriers and editors that can hold us back

* uncover our creative identities

* reconnect to our intuition, to what drives our creativity

* discover what creative projects need to succeed

* learn tools to help us communicate and collaborate with others

Together these seven sessions will help you:

* get the most from any given situation

* unlock your creativity,and apply it in the everyday world

* share your creativity with others

* rediscover your ability to feel, think and live creatively

The venue, Time for Tea is a charming old silk merchants house decorated with 1940's antiques.

We'll hope you'll stay for tea, homemade cakes and conversation after 4pm when the teashop opens.

No paint required - though you will need to bring a notebook and some coloured pens or pencils.

Live to Create will be delivered by project founder, activist and creative consultant Lucy Wills, and the inspirational low carbon living Erica Grigg from Carbon Outreach, both RSA fellows.

There are 16 places on this one day workshop priced at an introductory rate of £50 for individual and corporate creatives and £30 for low waged, concessions, social enterprises.
