http://www.the-creativity-journey.com Creativity Courses in New York City and Europe
Hello,
My name is Vivian Glusman and I am the administrative associate of the Creativity Workshop, taught by Master Teachers Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel. I wanted to let you know about our upcoming workshops, starting with our November 11 - 14 workshop in New York City and also our NYC workshops in the spring and our summer workshops in Europe (Crete, Provence, Florence, Barcelona, Prague and Dublin). We offer 3 university credits for the workshops in Europe.
Founded in 1993, the Creativity Workshop is dedicated to teaching people about their creativity and how to use it in all aspects of life, work, and creative expression. We do this through a series of exercises developed by the founders and directors, Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel. In a non-competitive, nurturing atmosphere, these workshops help participants develop creative skills, expanded sense perception, innovative problem solving, inspired brainstorming, and new ways of looking at life as exciting and transformative. The price of the NYC workshop is $600, tuition only. Our European workshop prices start at $1,750 for tuition and 9 nights accommodations.
The only requirements for the Creativity Workshop are curiosity about the creative process and a sense of playfulness.
See below calendar for the NYC workshops (non-credit) and the Europe workshops (3 university credits available):
NEW YORK CALENDAR 2005-6 November 11 - 14 March 24 - 27 April 21 - 24 May 19 - 22 Tuition: $600
SUMMER CALENDAR 2006 Crete: June 19 - 28 Provence: June 29 - July 8 Florence: July 9 - 18 Barcelona: July 19 - 28 Prague: July 28 - August 6 Dublin - August 6 - 15 From $1,750 including tuition and 9 night accommodations.
Whether you are in business, teaching, art, or science, our workshop can help you discover and nurture your particular way of expression and break through the fears and blocks that inhibit creative expression. Working with thousands of individuals, businesses, and institutions since 1993, the Creativity Workshop helps people believe in and develop their imagination through using a unique series of exercises in memoir, creative writing, visual arts, sense perception, brainstorming, and storytelling. Our concentration is on the process of creativity rather than the product. We emphasize the importance of play and the sharing of ideas to nurture creative growth.

What people say about the Creativity Workshop:
"The new millennium needs bold, creative men and women who can turn their dreams into reality... Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel show how you can do this through their challenging and inspiring creativity workshops...even a simple first contact will prove what these two talented teachers can do for your own gifts." Dr. Kirpal Singh, Writer, Professor Singapore Management University.
"I have attended at least 10 creative seminars and this creativity workshop is far above the others in its inspiration, positive spirit and techniques for nurturing creativity. The Creativity Workshop changed me forever and moved me forward in managing my creative companies, but more importantly in my personal determination, commitment and creativity in my own projects. This workshop is important for anyone who wants to better understand, develop and celebrate their creativity in their personal or business life." Barbara Roberts, President and CEO Acoustiguides, New York City
"I taught a creative writing class yesterday afternoon and felt a new confidence after the summer's Creativity Workshop. I was much more in control and more confident of what I was doing and saying. My students seem more excited about their work using your exercises. I feel that in several months time I shall still be doing and saying things that echo what we covered in your wonderful workshop." Noel Shepherd, Creative Writing Teacher, grades 5 and 6 Washington International School
"Thank you for the great, great inspiration and fun of the Creativity Workshop. It helped me get a whole screenplay done during a trip to Mexico afterwards. It was great for me and my students. I don't think I've ever seen them so happy." Doris Doerrie, Filmmaker, Professor Munich Film School, Germany
"This is my third workshop coming up and I can't wait! Shelley and Alejandro ever so gently are able to get us fellow travelers (and not students) in to a discovery mode that emerges us deep into the experience of our very own creativity. You are magicians who invite us to return to the best of our childhoods. Once there we recapture those golden days of play and dream and fantasy." Carroll Blue, Professor School of Communications, San Diego State University, San Diego, CA
"Because I write for a living, I had forgotten how to write for fun. I learned how to get to that "fun" part of writing again at this workshop." Amy White, VP Internal Corporate Communications Cardinal Health, Worthington, OH
"The workshop was incredible. The exercises and your encouragement were wonderful. But, more importantly, your sensitivity and perceptivity in regard to others and the human condition is unbelievable. I wish I knew 10 more of you!" Neil H. Schwartz, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology California State University, Chico
"Too often in the workplace, a fear of being judged, of "failure," or of appearing "foolish" to others stifles our most creative thinking. The Creativity Workshop showed me how to first examine, then overcome my personal insecurities so that I am contributing with more freedom, boldness and confidence than ever before." Barbara Bazaldua, Director of Editorial Disney Consumer Products, Anaheim, CA
