Testimonials

“The Creativity Workshop is far above any creative seminar I’ve taken in its inspiration, positive spirit, and techniques. It is important for anyone who wants to develop creativity in their personal or business life.”

"The Creativity Workshop took me back to the roots of creativity, those places in your mind you forgot they exist. Sometimes you struggle to get inspiration and you get so desperate trying to find the next big idea that you forgot how simple it is. Shelley and Alejandro reminded me how easy is to reboot your imagination and that the world around you is an infinite source of ideas and inspiration to relax, clear your mind and create. I loved all the exercises and re-discoveries I made in myself. A great transformational experience."

“I wrote my first published memoir because of this class. The instructors are magicians! They gently pushed us into discovering our unique creativity.”

"I brought my two innovation teams for a week to work with Shelley and Alejandro. I can't say that I knew exactly what we were getting into at first. By the half-way point, the experience was nicknamed "The Creativity Spa", and by week's end we didn't want it to end. Part decompression, part reflection, but mostly gentle guidance on reigniting and paying attention to our own creative wisdom. I wholeheartedly recommend this workshop, and know that we will be back."

“You will come back (from The Creativity Workshop) with a heart full of artistic passion, completely convinced that creativity and imagination–yours and everyone else’s–is the answer to just about any question the world could pose. Plus, you’ll have the tools to enable you to fill a whole cargo hold’s worth of luggage with paintings, poems, drawings, and essays. This is one of the 100 Best Worldwide Vacations to Enrich Your Life.”

"The Creativity Workshop is a dynamic six-day workshop that combines travel, interactive experiences, and collaboration with other professionals to develop the creative process and encourage innovation. I learned strategies that would spark my students’ innate curiosity. I discovered methods that would inspire them to explore the creative process so they could confidently design engineering projects and engage in experimental design as well as investigate history using artifacts, maps, and other primary sources. I also explored the rich Catalan culture and learned about artists and architects who used creativity and innovation to influence society.
I was inspired to write my FFT grant to attend the Creativity Workshop because I found that my students were afraid to take an active role in how they learned and to think outside the box. An even bigger obstacle was that I was losing my own creativity as a teacher as education becomes focused on high-stakes testing.This Workshop helped me get my pedagogical groove back!"

"The Creativity Workshop was a turning point for me, especially in how I approach my work. It's the place where I learned to be vulnerable, explore every idea, and trust my own creative power. These are the essential ingredients of breakthrough and innovation, and I'm not sure I would have found them so quickly without the Workshop."
