Welcome to Creative Insight Workshops!

Introduction

Firstly, I would personally like to thank you for visiting the Creative Insight Workshops web site. On this and the following pages, follow the links in the menu above, you will find information about our life-changing workshops. Creative Insight Workshops are unlike any other traditional creative or art workshop you will have seen. Here at CIW we specialise in workshops that are designed to be concentrated in content, stimulating and challenging to you. We will help you maximise your learning experience so that you benefit the most during your time with us.

The Emphasis on Creativity

Our workshops strongly emphasise creativity and creative thinking using teaching techniques and practical exercises that are based on the latest perceptual and creative thinking research being undertaken by gifted scientists and educators around the world. These methods: tried, tested and refined over many years by educators worldwide, are known to maximise your potential and 'unblock' your creative mind (often referred to as 'the creative child within').

We want everyone who attends one of our workshops to become a more creative, and therefore more complete, person. When you leave us you leave with a new and fresh approach not only to whatever art you enjoy but also to your life in general. That's why we refer to our workshops as 'life-changing'.

Can anyone be creative?

The simple answer to this question is YES! We are all born creative and we are meant to create, whether you create a great work of Art (with a capital 'A') or simply create a garden table out of old wooden boxes. The act of creation is something all human beings naturally strive for but if this inherent desire is not harnessed in some way we cannot be a complete person. Just like many other people, what may be holding your creativity back is an inability to 'switch on' your creative mind at will. We can easily and quickly teach you how to do this so you can gain access to your own 'creative child within'.

Creativity Blocks

Creativity blocks are those nagging thoughts that float around most of our heads constantly telling us we are not artists so how can we be creative. Most people at some time (or many times!) have experienced the painful mental torture of the 'creative block'; painters, photographers, writers, actors, singers are all affected, so you may identify with what I am saying.

Here at Creative Insight we have the solution! A revolutionary technique, based on the science of kinesiology that uses the new 'natural meridian psychological' theories, will be incorporated into the workshops on a group basis for those that feel they need help to overcome their 'creative blocks'.

Les is a practitioner of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) which has been found to be very effective in removing the barriers to creativity. EFT is based on traditional chinese acupuncture BUT without the needles! Instead of needles, in EFT we simply tap with the fingers on specific acupuncture meridians to release and channel your body's natural energy (known as Chi or Qi energy).

Since many creative blocks have an emotional basis, e.g. 'I haven't the confidence to draw because I can only draw stick people' or 'As a child my mother always told me Photography was a waste of time' or 'My older sister always made me look a fool when I painted pictures', etc, (you know the ones for you!), EFT is used to harness the natural energy and use it to remove these emotional links to our creativity! This frees you to be more creative and confident.

Don't be put off! EFT is NOT some esoteric 'new age' thing but a tested process for unlocking confidence. Since EFT takes very little time to do (usually one to two minutes at a time) it can be a great way to start a creative session!
