Creative Thinking Activation Room

This workshop is designed to engage your creative/divergent thinking through fun exercises. It is a two-hour AI-free workout for your brain!

Feeling like your brain is getting a tad lazy or your attention span shorter, or that you are relying on Chat GPT to think for you most of the time? Or perhaps you want to do something to keep your neural pathways strong as you're maturing. Then this is the workshop for you!

In this fun, engaging workshop with writer and creative practitioner Amanda Anastasi, you will be given easy to understand, brain strengthening exercises, designed to train your creative and divergent thinking while promoting cognitive flexibility.

Many of us regularly exercise the muscles in our body, but don't think to exercise our brain! This workshop will remind you of the unlimited capacity of your own imagination and your ability to generate new and original ideas. Join us for a brain nourishing couple of hours!
