REDISCOVER YOUR CREATIVE INSTINCTS THROUGH INTUITIVE, MESSY, MEANINGFUL PLAY.
We all solve problems in different ways. Some of us plan, some of us noodle, and some of us stare at the ceiling until something finally clicks. But what if there’s a more fun, less stressful, surprisingly effective way to spark ideas?
What if the best creative tool we have… is play?
This hands-on, 2-4 hour workshop is designed to help you reconnect with curiosity, creativity, and your own intuitive spark. You’ll explore the role of play in problem-solving and idea generation through quick-fire solo and group activities — like drawing with your non-dominant hand, sculpting with Play-Doh, and building wild ideas together
THE NITTY-GRITTY (BUT MAKE IT FUN)
TIME COMMITMENT
2–4 hours of creative mischief, tailored to your team & timeline
WHERE IT HAPPENS
Live, in-person, playful, and adapted to your team
OPEN TO EVERYONE
especially the curious, the blocked, and the box-breakers
WHY PLAY?
As kids, play was how we learned. We made rules and broke them. We told stories. We explored. We got messy — and we made sense of the world in the process.
But somewhere along the way, play got pushed aside in favor of productivity, perfection, and performance. Our creativity became something to control, not explore.
HERE’S THE TRUTH
Play isn’t a distraction from real work. It is real work.
It taps into intuitive thinking, encourages risk-taking, and helps us break past the Inner Critic that tells us we need to be right instead of real. In fact, research shows that play helps form lasting neural connections — the kind that make us better thinkers, collaborators, and problem-solvers.
And it doesn’t take much. Just a little space, a little curiosity, and a willingness to get weird.

WHO IT’S FOR

No artistic talent required. Just bring your imagination, your inner child, and maybe a willingness to get your hands a little messy.
