SYDNEY: Creative Wellbeing
October 10 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
This is a CREATIVE PLUS BUSINESS event 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.
Participants will learn the following in this FREE workshop with a focus on arts practice and creative business success:
+ Wellbeing: We’ll explore how physical, mental, and emotional well-being are all interconnected and crucial for creative success.
+ Creative Wellbeing: Discover how self-care extends to nurturing your creative spark.
+ Creative Illness: Learn to identify and overcome roadblocks like imposter syndrome and self-sabotage that can hinder your progress.
+ Burnout: Understand the signs and impacts of burnout on creatives and develop strategies to prevent it.
+ Actionable Techniques: Walk away with practical tools to safeguard your creative wellbeing and integrate it seamlessly into your daily professional life.
More resources and help will be provided for broader wellbeing support. This workshop has been designed by creatives for creatives and includes a variety of activities.
