Training/Staff development days:

Creative "Kick Start"

This workshop is beneficial to any group experiencing “stuckness” or lack of motivation. Breaking through and setting new goals that are presented through the creative process. Working with image, breaking through to give the image the possibility of movement and flexibility. New approach’s allow   us to begin recreating ourselves in a transforming working environment. This brings through untapped/underused potential in the team.

"You must do the thing you think you cannot do."

Eleanor Roosevelt

Team Building

This day is about accessing group synergy and allowing ourselves to be inspired by one another. It is about flow and flexibility. Group energy is a powerful tool. This workshop helps bring about a  greater awareness of group energy. In order to do this we use a combination of the following; movement, ensemble work, improvisation, music and ritual. The workshops assists communication on many levels.

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life  That word is love.”

Sophocles

The Winds of Change

Suitable for groups undergoing change or about to be part of change. Bringing the desired transformation into the physical through the visual. A process involving paint and collage is the core   tool of the day, the artistic creation is a reminder of choices made and can go back to the workplace   as focus for moving forward. The aim is to help the group understand and embrace change.

"Painting is just another way of Keeping a diary... "

Pablo Picasso

Creative Wind down

A gentle day to spend time together in a relaxing atmosphere. We replace the written word as the means to evaluate with mixed media, paint, body sculpting and movement work. Through these    pieces we recognise and honour what has been useful and let go that which no longer serves us.       This workshop helps reveal many layers to the work undergoing evaluation and by doing so assists clearer communication. It helps the voice of all members to be heard.

These training days are facilitated by centre director Mary Pat Moloney. Each workshop can be adapted to the specific requirements of the group to get maximum benefit from the time in Croi Anu.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge... "

Creative Mentoring

A time for self care and nurturing.

These one to one sessions provide a space to honour the individual.  Using creative tools we work to release old patterns that no longer serve us.  The sessions help to illuminate blocks or areas where we may feel stuck. Then we access our creative energy to move or dissolve the block so that we can go forward with a sense of freedom and renewed energy for life.

Whether you perceive yourself to be creative or not these sessions can be of benefit.

Every individual is met where they are at, in the truth of the moment.

Time has been allocated for these sessions in Croi Anu due to demand.  Since the service has been offered feedback is very positive.  If you want to find out more about these sessions or make a booking call. (059) 8624854.
