What to expect…

Imagine That! - is seriously playful.

Join us in a relaxed, non-judgmental space where the focus is on imagination & joy, not perfection or being ‘good enough’.

Meet new people, de-stress, reawaken curiosity through cooperative creative games, and experience the wellness benefits of human-to-human connection — something we all need in today’s divided world.

Led by Lois, the founder of Innervative Creatives, whose ethos centers on nurturing creativity as a path to wellness, personal growth, and in turn, harmonious communities.

These workshops invite you to embrace creativity in a supportive, non-competitive environment.

Offering 6 weekly sessions, each one builds upon the last to help the group grow in confidence, develop openness to creative possibilities, and fortify healthy connections.

Here’s a breakdown of the sessions week by week

Week 1 (16/04) - Re-connect with yourself & others through movement and mark making - we will start by gently grounding in our own bodies before getting to know each other through creative movement and mark making.

Week 2 (23/04) - Express your playful side through Story, Movement and Visual Art - building on the connections we made in week 1, we will play games which provoke imaginative thinking and use the ideas that came up individually to co-create something in small groups, beginning collaborative

Week 3 (30/04) - Awaken your imagination through characters & co-created narratives - this session will build on the week before helping to develop the skill of generating ideas. We’ll use music and movement to inspire characters and co-create scenes using them as a group.

Week 4 (07/05) - Explore sound & creative writing to create a sonic portrait - this may sound daunting to those of you who firmly believe you aren’t ‘musical’, but don’t be put off. In this session we’ll explore what holds meaning for us and have a go at translating what comes up through sound and movement.

Week 5 (14/05) - Express your inner threads through textiles and story - this session we’ll work with fabrics, threads and visual arts materials to explore our lived experiences. This may sound quite conceptual, but it will be infused with fun and joy as well will as offering a chance to chat and get to know each other whilst creating.

Week 6 (21/05) - Bring it all together : collective creativity - as this will be the last session, we will celebrate what we’ve learned and experienced together in a playful, light, fun session. The group can decide which games we want to revisit, and the session will culminate in a collective creation of some sort.
