"Flourishing Through Creativity" is a transformative program designed to unlock the inherent creative potential within diverse individuals (open to all residents of Minneapolis), fostering personal well-being and building stronger communities. The program is designed by and presented by Nicholas Harper, owner fo the Rogue Buddha Gallery (25 years) and professional artist (30 years).

In today's fast-paced and often stressful world, many individuals feel disconnected from their creative potential and struggle to cultivate a sense of well-being. This disconnect can lead to feelings of stagnation, isolation, helplessness and weakened community connections. Recognizing creativity as a fundamental human need and a vital pathway to flourishing, this program provides a safe and supportive environment for participants to explore, develop, and apply creative principles to enhance their personal and professional lives.

Consisting of interactive workshops at the Rogue Buddha Gallery in NE Minneapolis, participants will engage in collaborative creative exercises designed to harness creative intuition, fostering self-discovery, innovative thinking, problem solving, relationship building and internal resilience. Each of 12 individual workshops, held monthly, will be open to 10 participants.

By empowering individuals to unlock their innate creative potential, "Flourishing Through Creativity" will contribute to more fulfilling and engaged lives, a culture of lifelong learning and personal growth and contribute to stronger, more resilient communities.

My Ask: I will need help spreading the word so as to book all 120 slots this spring and summer.  In particular I'm focusing on finding individuals who do not consider creativity a major aspect of their life, either by way of professional or personal pursuits.
