👇Hello, Creative TEam Building👇
Creative Team Building is designed to look after your teams wellbeing and help them bond as they play, relax, connect, enjoy, and rest.
Let’s not sugar coat it, remote working can be draining and isolating.
Your team needs regular breaks from the constant creative demands they face every day and a fun challenge to keep them healthy, happy, and invested in their place of work. That’s where Creative Team Building comes in!!
Creative Team Building is all about taking rest in a way that is intentional, different from daily demands, and free from set outcomes. It’s often thought of as something fluffy and unproductive. But that unproductive fluff brings about incredible, immediate impacts like, stress reduction, engagement, connection to self and others, divergent thinking, problem solving, mindfulness, self-compassion, and much, much more.
Creative rest IS necessary maintenance for our ability to problem solve, think critically and analytically, to keep the brain stimulated and challenged, as well as in managing stress.
Did you know that just 20 minutes of colouring in is enough to release serotonin and endorphins which start flushing out the stress hormone cortisol? AND people that create together have better wellbeing and tend to live longer. Thanks unproductive fluff!!
PLUS creating together is fun. It allows people to showcase their individual personality and skills in a low pressure way, meaning they feel seen and see each other in new, meaningful ways.
Letting your team take a break from their ‘normal’ creative demands and formal communication will inspire their creativity in work, soothe the nervous system, help them feel valued and more motivated to do well.
Plus, future applicants are drawn to companies with strong workplace culture that value cohesion and individual wellbeing. It’s a win, win, win.
✔ manage stress
✔ foster better overall health for productivity and outcomes
✔ reduce absences
✔ create meaningful connections aligned with workplace culture and values
✔ spark interest and intrigue to keep the mind fresh and challenged
✔ maintain or improve team cohesion and communication
✔ happy team = better results

Why do you think Lego Creative Play exists? And play areas in Google? And 64 Millions Artists? And the Institute of Art and Mind?
It’s because creativity is a game changing source of focus, motivation, wellbeing, ideation and energy!
Whether you’re looking for quarterly team building, a one-off event, or to mark a particular milestone for your team, Creative Team Building is the perfect practice!!
Creative Team Building are 90-minute workshops that happen during the work day so they are a real break from daily demands.
Your creative session follows 4 phases
Phase 1: THE PLAYGROUND
We start in the Playground with open creative games: drawing to music, creating using your non-dominant hand, symbol making, copying, etc. This helps individuals relax and sink into a mindful approach where the end result doesn’t matter.
Phase 2: THE DISCO
Then we move to phase two: Time for Creative Collaboration!!
Team members are placed in groups to complete a collaborative creative task. These are intentionally ‘silly’ and low pressure. But they still require plenty of creative thinking, problem solving, and team collaboration, which is the point.
For example, your group are a band. Your mission is to write a song about one value you share. You have 20 minutes then we’ll come back together. Groups will giggle and open up, problem solve, create in community and get to know each other new ways.
Phase 3: THE GARDEN
Then we sink into the Garden, a holistic space for listening, sharing , and tuning in to the body. Groups share what came up as a team and what they co-created. Then we move into a grounding pallet cleanser to soothe the nervous system and round off the experience, leaving the everyone feeling seen, appreciated, and relaxed.
Phase 4: CLOSING REFLECTION
Finally, we close with a short, reflective questionnaire to help participants embody their creative rest and explore how bonded they feel now as a team.
I share these results with you as the team leader, so we have data on impact, engagement, cohesion, confidence, positive impact, enjoyment after each session.
Creative team building is perfect for:
✔ quarterly team building
✔ wellbeing days
✔ when your team are smashing targets
✔ when your team are struggling
✔ special occasions like World Mental Health Day
✔ any time you want your people to feel blooming fabulous!

Are these art workshops?
They are creative and ‘arty’, but the intention isn’t to create ‘Art’. The end result isn’t actually important. Instead, it’s all about using your brain in a different way to normal, encouraging divergent thinking and problem solving, encouraging play, collaboration, and enjoyment in the process not the outcome.
You can read more about our method here.
We’re not a ‘creative’ company. Can we still join?
YES! All humans are naturally creative, whether we think of ourselves in that way or not. AND creativity benefits all of us because it teaches us to release the striving for control and perfection, to take risks, to be more expressive, it helps us relax and reduce stress hormones in the body, and it opens up our mind to new ways of thinking and seeing each other. You don’t need to be ‘good’ or to have done anything ‘arty’ before. I’ll guide you every step of way.
We’re professional creatives. Can we still join?
YES! Mindful art brings novelty and awe back to your practice. We all need space to be silly, explore, play, test new skills, and make for the sake of making, in a not-just-for-work-but-for-you way. Plus, these workshops are all about team bonding, connection, play, collaboration, and exploration. This will be PERFECT for your team.
