Creativegarh launches Creative Retreats to revive creative passion amongst seekers
Creativegarh, the most vibrant and engaging community for people relentlessly discovering and pursuing their creative passions, today launched Creativity Retreats to extend creative transformation opportunities to those seeking. The 5-day creative retreats are curated to help people discover their creative selves and help them build a toolkit to embark/pursue their passion and the road to rediscovering the genuine joy of life.
The last 18 months have been quite disorienting for most people across the globe. Besides a proactive focus on physical and mental well-being, the other learning from the pandemic is the significance of continuously reinventing ourselves. Careers can be protected and grown with continuous intervention and developing skill sets relevant to the new normal. However, a career that is influenced merely by earning a living may not be enough if we fail to discover and pursue our creative selves. Our creative passions emanating from our purpose have the potential of delivering true joy and happiness in life, and yet very few take the road less travelled.
Creativegarh is launching these Creativity Retreats to bring alive the dormant passions of people. The first Creativegarh Retreat is coming up in Kasauli from the 25th to the 31st of October 2021. A 5-day residential retreat, priced at INR 59,000, will be limited to a small group of 14 creators, founders, professionals, hobbyists, mavericks and seekers to help reignite their creative spirit, to create fearlessly and live a fulfilling and inspiring life. It does not intend to teach creativity but inspires people to allow themselves to be creative.
These retreats will be a deep and immersive creative transformation journey. Each retreat aims to create a safe space for non-judgemental and protective nurturing of one’s creativity and is customised to specific needs, professions, experiences, passion projects and creative purposes. They start with a guided exploration into a life full of creativity, including reflective, detective and creative exercises, experience sharing and storytelling, idea generation and idea swapping through meditations and visualisations, ideation through play-journaling, creator dates, cookouts, games, music, treks, nature listening, or just being, late-night fireside conversations, walks and ideas.
