About the Course:
Researchers and theorists link creativity to innovation, insight, imagination, health and wellbeing. Many people do not consider themselves as creative because of habitual thought patterns, which can prevent the further development of their creative potential. Mindfulness is a strategy that may help individuals become aware of this pattern of thinking and then provide the opening to change their perspective or perception. Acquiring personal knowledge and insights about creativity through reflection and by participating in the creative process may help to shift perspectives, increase awareness, and enhance creative potential. (M.L. Batalo, 2012). |
