BUILDING CREATIVE COMMUNITIES
CREATIVE TEAM BUILDING
Align, Breathe, Create is a means for embracing a culture of mindfulness and creativity, where every individual is set up to thrive. In the workplace, this means empowering people to work well together as teams. We help nurture creative individuals to form creative teams. It is essential that a safe space be established where creative risks are valued, and a growth mindset is cultivated. This means teaching how to take risks, learn from mistakes, and ask for help. Breath, art, and mindfulness are key concepts we use to build creative teams. Our program can be customized to fit your team’s unique needs.

Neuroscience
WHY WE CREATE
It’s important to understand what motivates us. We are each here to create something. Creativity is not about outcome. The chemical reward system that makes creating feel so satisfying is based on the joy of working toward a goal; not the end product. Setting goals and then working toward our goals is what gives us purpose. Feeling purposeful and intentional provides a chemical reward system. We release dopamine as we move toward a goal, oxytocin as we feel connected to community, and serotonin as we find gratitude and satisfaction in our work. Creating makes us “feel good” and want to create more. This is the basis of motivation! Align, Breathe, Create is designed around understanding the chemical reward systems that motivate us and move us into creative action.
Mindfulness
ALIGNMENT OF THE MIND AND HEART
The power of mindfulness is evoked when we unite and balance the heart and mind. We can use the conscious or aware mind to link to the heart. The heart refers to our common humanity. The heart as we teach it is our endless resource to find compassion. When the two wings of mindfulness, mind and heart meet, this is the “align” component in Align, Breathe, Create. This is where we enter the creative mindset.
