Creative Contemplation is a 4-part process for teams and individuals using mindfulness and the art form of collage to express insights and take action; each session is customised for the particular needs of the group or individual, and there are 4 different areas of application: team effectiveness, wellbeing, creativity, and memory consolidation.
Guided visualisation is the first step; a means to come into the present moment and then move gently towards future focused and positive visions and feelings. Linking then seamlessly into collage making, you find images to represent your yet-unexpressed hopes, intentions and wisdom. During the collage making you will discover insights, integrate thoughts and feelings with greater ease, and start to express, through reflection or conversation, what is significant for you. The final step is dedicated to actions, the commitment to ways you can bring your vision to reality, in a small way tomorrow or in a big way in the future. Your art product serves as a powerful memory hook, a daily reminder of where you want to go or who you want to be.
Collage is an art form that is relaxing, integrative, healing and transformational. In a picture, I can best describe the benefits of an art practice as a virtuous circle. Collage is especially effective because it has an ability to slow things down.
The four applications of Creative Contemplation are:
Team Effectiveness: facilitated sessions using collage for team building, purpose, vision, values, ways of working, from-to's or strengths
Wellness: use collage to explore self-care, resilience or inner resourcing and then take action
Creativity: facilitated sessions using collage to imagine possibilities without constraints and then plan next steps
Memory Consolidation: A visualisation process for individuals to internalise and integrate key learning from a course or programme
