The Creativity Workshop in New York takes place in Manhattan at the Meta Center in the Chelsea district. Chelsea is famous for its art galleries, small boutiques and cafes. The Meta Center is located at 214 West 29th St., about 10 blocks from Penn Station, Madison Square Garden and Macy’s. We will meet for 3 hours and will explore ways to expand our creativity through a series of exercises including guided visualization technique, automatic drawing and writing, map making, memoir, and storytelling. Throughout the workshop, the exercises and talks by the instructors will focus on ways to:

The workshop started in 1993 after many years of teaching in a traditional University setting. It was felt that there were a lot of programs that taught techniques of creative expression, but very few that focused on the creative process itself. The decision was made to provide a workshop that spoke to that neglected area. Experience has taught that thinkers, and artists developed a unique series of exercises dedicated to inspiring and keeping alive the life of the imagination.

The Creativity Workshop teaches 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.

With the use of simple tools : pencil and paper and requirements of curiosity and a desire to explore the creative abilities. The Creativity Workshop works with learning to help you recognize and trust your imagination’s instincts, trusting your process, combating debilitating self-criticism and the fear of failure that lead to creative blocks.

The Creativity Workshop has produced exercises that are broad paradigms that each participant can easily tailor to her/his own goals, whether it be a particular specialty or life in general and there is a belief that creativity is best served in a playful, nurturing, and non-competitive environment where freedom and focus go hand in hand. We concentrate on creative process rather than product and on the idea of creativity as a way of viewing and appreciating life.
