What’s it all about?

Unleash your creativity and get happy! Unearth your passions and turn that hobby into a career. No matter what career you may currently be in, finding happiness through creativity can release every day stress and tension.

What will we cover?

Thinking about your soul and passions.
How to begin writing / drawing / photographing your experiences through journaling / social media.
Enriching and developing your personal experiences and passions further, to a more creative career path.
Handouts will be given to help develop your creative passions, (thinking outside the box) and a list of different inspirational avenues to help develop your passions into a career.
