Creative Sessions for Organisations & Teams

 

“Thank you so much for facilitating the clay team-building session, Jess.  It was definitely needed by the staff team and they relished the opportunity to be playful. You facilitated a safe space where everyone was invited to participate without pressure.  The team felt taken care of and supported, and felt reinvigorated afterwards. They are a diverse bunch and all feedback I have had has been positive and along the lines of ‘when can we do it again’?! I would definitely recommend this session to other organisations.” 
Jenny, Youth Services Manager


Thank you for co-ordinating and facilitating the Art Therapy & Working Outdoors workshop… it was so inspiring and relevant for me… and made me realise that ‘I think I can have a go at this’!” 
Niki, Trainee Art Psychotherapist

 

 

Creativity and play are important aspects of work, and are essential to maintaining healthy working environments and encouraging problem solving.  But, very often, the regular workday doesn’t provide enough space for these activities and, when operating in pressurised environments, teams might become susceptible to:

  • Workplace stress
  • Interpersonal and organisational conflict
  • Lacking cohesion

Working with your organisation, I can develop and facilitate bespoke sessions tailored to provide your team with a dedicated and protected time for creativity, play, experimentation, and self-expression.  This can inspire new perspectives, give respite, bring understanding of group dynamics, help to resolve organisational conflicts, improve attention and engagement, and offer opportunities for team building.

Inviting your team to take part in a creative workshop can be a joyful, mindful, and collaborative way to help them to:

  • Discover new skills to inspire confidence, healthy risk-taking, and excitement in trying something new
  • Bolster trust and empathy, building resilience
  • Find a shared language, which will enhance communication skills
  • Foster a shared understanding of identity, difference, and diversity
  • Nurture a co-created sense of purpose
  • Rediscover positivity in their practice
  • Accomplish something new, together
  • Celebrate their achievements
  • Develop leadership qualities
  • Compassionately make mistakes and embrace imperfection in themselves and each other
  • Become aware of their inner critics
  • Explore uncharted territory and feel their fears in a safe space
  • Enter a meditative flow state
  • Get in touch with their inner worlds and understand how these impact team dynamics
  • Co-create together in an empowering and playful way
  • Create objects that serve as lasting and positive reminders, which can be exhibited in the workplace

 

I can offer professional organisations in-person and online sessions, and costs are dependent on your team’s requirements.  If you would like to find out more about my bespoke creative workshops, please get in touch.
