Many of the teachers and students taking the workshop receive financial help from their schools and can also get 3 university credits and CEUs.
We teach from the point of view that people are by nature creative and that creativity, like DNA, is unique in each individual. To access and develop creativity, our workshops use exercises in: sense perception, free form writing and drawing, associative thinking, map-making, constructive daydreaming, and sensitivity to our environment.
