CAMDEN: Creative Wellbeing

This is a CREATIVE PLUS BUSINESS event for Camden Council’s Creative Collab for NSW Small Business Month.

Taking care of our wellbeing is vital for creative professionals. Without safeguarding the easy and artistic flow of ideas, it’s more than our health that might suffer. 

Using your creativity for professional work is both rewarding and taxing. While there’s immense satisfaction in building a business around your artistic vision, the constant pressure to deliver and the emotional rollercoaster of the creative process can lead to burnout. ‘Creative wellbeing’ is a unique workshop designed to equip you with the tools and strategies to not only flourish creatively, but also fuel the success of your creative business.
