Creative Wellbeing blends the expressive arts, positive psychology, neuroscience into a lived experience where art leads and science affirms.

We are invited to consider facilitation an act of presence that involves empathy, deep listening, bearing witness, transparency, attunement, and positive regard. From there, the journey unfolds through a series of playshops that explore Positive Psychology’s “pillars of happiness and wellbeing,” reminding participants that the medicine they seek is already within.

Creative Wellbeing: An Expressive Arts Journey into the Heart of Human Flourishing

A Live Online | Synchronous | Cohort-Based Training

Blending the expressive arts and positive psychology, Creative Wellbeing offers an evidence-based yet deeply human pathway into flourishing - one that is both facilitator-ready and profoundly personal.

Grounded in Positive Psychology’s “pillars of happiness and wellbeing” (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and beyond), each playshop invites us to paint, move, write, and reflect – strengthening resilience, reducing anxiety, sparking creativity, and deepening agency and authentic connection.

You won’t simply learn about the work - you will enter it, experiencing the playshops from within then exploring the architecture beneath.

Gathering includes:

• A full Creative Wellbeing playshop experience

• Witnessing, community dialogue, and integration

• Practice facilitations in small breakout circles

• Ritual Closer

• Guidance on holding group safety, timing, ritual, and integration

• Reflection

• Access to the expressive arts, neuroscience and positive psychology research.

Objectives

You’ll understand the foundations of how the process unfolds and the science that supports why it fosters human flourishing.

By the end of this training, you will be able to:

• Apply intentional, psychologically attuned creative containers

• Integrate research-informed wellbeing concepts into creative practice

• Articulate some of the science behind creative transformation

• Facilitate circles with clarity

Creative Wellbeing is an arts-based, science-backed invitation to thrive!

This powerful curriculum blends the expressive arts (movement, image, story, and sound) and applied positive psychology. Rather than teaching happiness or wellbeing as a concept, it invites participants to experience it creatively, physically, and relationally.t engages the whole person - mind, body, imagination, and heart.

At its core is the belief that we already carry what we need. This practice does not prescribe healing from the outside in. It helps us remember our resilience, reclaim our creativity, and reconnect with our capacity to thrive.

We are living through a global mental health crisis. At the same time, research - including a major World Health Organization review - confirms what many of us feel intuitively: the arts are not a luxury. They are medicine.

Creative Wellbeing offers a timely invitation, not just to feel better, but to flourish.
