Live to create

believe that creativity is within each and every one of us, and that rediscovering, nurturing and allowing it to bloom is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. We're here to help you.

Our first Live to Create session delivered under a shady tree by Lucy Wills as Mermaid Nation at a festival of free speech on the 4th May 2007.

Live to Create grew out of spontaneous and commissioned workshops given at festivals such as the Big Chill and the Big Green Gathering. In late 2007 we expanded the concept into seven key stages, delivered through regular workshops and events.

We use ideas and exercises drawn from the corporate world, grassroots activism, personal development, dance theory, festivals and our experiences to find out where our creativity has gone, and what we can do about it.

Through simple exercises and sharing we learn how to switch from being a mere consumer to living fully as creative people.

We explore how to remove the barriers and editors that can hold us back and uncover our creative identities and reconnect to our intuition, to our inner muse.

Using our past experiences we discover what creative projects need to succeed and learn tools to help us communicate and collaborate with others.

"It's a wonderful thing to be clever, and you should never think otherwise, and you should never stop being that way.

But what you learn, as you get older, is that there are a few billion other people in the world all trying to be clever at the same time, and whatever you do with your life will certainly be lost-swallowed up in the ocean-unless you are doing it along with like-minded people who will remember your contributions and carry them forward."
