Brave Voices ReCreation Party Workshop

You are invited to an experiential ‘party’ where you will explore how recreation (or light & full-hearted play) and creation (hands-on creativity) support reflection. We will discover how creative reflection is a connection to your own best self and look at how to bring more ‘ReCreation’ insights into your own client sessions. For creativity to be not only useful but safe and enjoyable in client session reflections, it is crucial to lay and maintain strong, contracted foundations. This means understanding what is needed for creativity to feel safe and inviting, how to set up and maintain the right environment and how to keep the party swinging for everyone, even in the face of uninvited ‘party-poopers’. What better way of setting these foundations than at a party! We will be thinking about what is needed to set the scene for deep creative reflection, all the elements to keep all client guests safe, happy and getting the most from hands-on creativity and how to close the creative space.
