We are all born imaginative, curious, creative, but these qualities can
fade with the passage of time. The Creativity Workshop's aim is to
people get their imaginations back.

Whether you are a writer, a business person, a teacher, or an artist,
the Workshop can help you discover and nurture your particular way of
expression and break through the fears and blocks that inhibit
creativity. Working with more than 2,000 individuals, businesses, and
institutions since 1993, the Creativity Workshop helps people believe in
and develop their creative process through using a unique series of
exercises in memoir, creative writing, visual arts, sense perception,
brainstorming, and storytelling. Our concentration is on the process of
creativity rather than the product and emphasizes the importance of play
and the sharing of ideas to nurture creative growth.

The Creativity Workshop is dedicated to teaching individuals and
groups about their creative processes and how to use them in all aspects
of their work and lives. The Workshop's goal for participants is refined
creative skills, expanded perception, innovative problem solving,
inspired brainstorming and ways of looking at life as exciting and
transformative.
