Workshops and Retreats
for Corporate, Non-profit
and Educational Organizations
Is your group
dealing with cultural differences?
Is there a transition in the works?
Are you dealing with new challenges?
Need help thinking 'outside the box'?
Looking to enhance your creative energy and direction?
Need a rejuvenating experience or help finding balance?
The Center for
Creative Consciousness offers a wide range of workshops and retreats to
assist groups with all this and more. Our programs are designed to offer
participants both professional and personal development, as members of a
group and as individuals. We have offered workshops to organizations
representing the private and public sectors. We have worked with groups in
the fields of education, social services, the arts, health/medicine,
business and government.
The Women
Creating Retreat Day is a workshop held three
times a year. All other workshops are scheduled
by request for specific groups. We can custom design a workshop or retreat
to meet the needs of your organization or group. They range in length from
half day to week-long workshops. Workshops can be held at
our studio and
workshop facility, in Western Massachusetts - or at your location.
Our workshops
and retreats are interactive with ample time for exploration and reflection.
Participants engage in a process of discovery and learning through the use
of visual arts, including symbolism and metaphor. We add to this an
opportunity for personal reflection, writing, and dialogue through group
discussions. Our skilled facilitators guide participants within the group,
and individually, as they explore their own experiences. The various
expressive techniques we use help participants expand their ways of knowing
themselves and their organizations, and tap into their innate wisdom and
creativity.
During our
workshops, we develop a supportive and challenging learning environment
based on respect, shared information, and compassion. Participants don't
need any previous art experience to benefit from our workshops, just a
willingness to explore.
