A 3-layered approach

A typical Purposeful Creativity exercise is built around this time-tested sequence:

Opening the Way:
Lauren offers a prompt, chosen by the team leader and Lauren prior to the workshop. Participants reflect on the prompt, jotting down their thoughts, often gaining new insights through this initial writing.

Creating:
With Lauren’s guidance, and inspiring materials to choose from, each participant creates their own piece of personal art.

Sharing:
Participants share their work with one another, reflecting on their work, the process and what they noticed through the experience. Participants learn about one another in a truly meaningful way. This is where the real magic happens.

“Lauren draws on her exceptional blend of artistry and intuition to create a powerful group experience that enriches both individual participants and the team as a whole. The real payoff comes when participants share their creations and reflections with one another, nurturing a deeper sense of empathy and connection.”
Rene Carew, Conference Program Director, The Conference Board

“Lauren’s creativity workshop for our public policy seminar was the perfect confidence and team building experience. Many of our participants were nervous about trying their hand at art, but they learned so much about themselves and each other, and had a terrific time while doing it! The evening was a huge success.”
Sarah Bruno, Executive Director, The Public Leadership Education Network (PLEN)

Your team will be inspired and empowered:

“I know that the creative process I learned in your workshop plays an immense role in my saying yes to new ventures.”

“It was a wonderful day of creativity, warmth, inspiration, and learning on so many levels. I love what you do and how well you do it!”

“Your gentle coaching brings me to a place of self-observation and understanding that I never imagined.”

“Listening to each person’s explanation of their piece was profoundly fascinating.”

“You offer a rich multi-layered process that is magical.”
