    Yogi Berra once said famously, "You can see a lot by just looking." The creative professional practices intuitively the art of looking at a creative challenge from different perspectives. The trick is to find the place within oneself that allows new insights and ideas to emerge from the subconscious without the constructing filters of preconceptions and limiting beliefs.

    In this highly interactive session, we will explore and experience the Creative Constellation Process - a dynamic, new approach practiced in a group or individually, that opens the doors to the productive abundance of the subconscious mind. When we gain a new perspective and see things differently a shift takes place within that opens up new levels of creativity and possibilities. When that shift is big enough we find, in the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes, "The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size."

    Bring a goal, vision or aspiration that requires creative thinking to engage in the session - one that is personally meaningful to you. We will use the Creative Constellation Process to explore what it takes to make that dream a reality. You will leave the session with:

    • A new understanding of how to access the creative powers of the unconscious mind
    • Direct experience exploring an actual creative vision or challenge using the process
    • Insights around strengthening your innate creativity and removing hidden blocks that limit your access
    • An increased awareness on how to move your vision forward
    • A version of the approach you can use at home

    A New Culture of Learning: Cultivating the Imagination for a World of Constant Change by Douglas Thomas and John Seely Brown. "Exploring play, innovation, and the cultivation of the imagination as cornerstones of learning, the authors create a vision of learning for the future...in which knowledge is seen as fluid and evolving, the personal is both enhanced and refined in relation to the collective, and the ability to manage, negotiate and participate in the world is governed by the play of the imagination." ~ Amazon
