Neuroaesthetics is the study of how engaging with art measurably changes the body, brain and behaviour.

Susan Magsamen, Founder & Director of the International Arts + Mind Lab Center for Applied Neuroaesthetics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine has proven how art can help billions of people to, “Flourish, learn better, and build stronger communities.”

“The more enriched environments, the more sensorial…delivered in a way that feels safe and novel is how our brains grow dramatically.”

Simple art-making as a team, provides an immersive, sensory development experience that people remember more clearly and for a longer time.

Combined with group coaching and skilled facilitation, engaging in collaborative art-making and sharing stories sparks debate, teaches empathy, encourages perspective-taking and shifts underlying beliefs to bring about lasting mindset changes and deeper team connection. 

McKinsey research, "Psychological safety and the critical role of leadership development" has demonstrated the impact of building trust on business performance.

Purposeful engagement, rather than is required to cultivate a climate of psychological safety.

Not at all! We encourage you to think of the art supplies as tools to better connect to your thoughts and emotions and each other. This is not about improving your artistic skills or making masterpieces, it's about building human connection.

We go deep without pushing people too far out of their comfort zones and only ask people to share whatever is comfortable for them.

We are expert facilitators and coaches and use music, art and a set of trusted prompts designed to help people connect meaningfully in minutes.

Not at all! Our high-quality materials are water-based. We ensure all surfaces are covered and sometimes provide floor coverings and aprons if needed.

Between 2 - 2.5 hours depending on your goals for the workshop and size of your team.

Typically we work with teams from between 3 to 18 months but this depends on the level of change you're looking to achieve, your goals and the size and availability of your team.

Many clients hire us to work with multiple teams across their organisation.

Sometimes this means taking the same event to different teams at their various global offices to create a shared understanding across the company.

Sometimes it involves creating a programme of in-person and virtual sessions for the same team to deepen the impact and achieve their goals.

We work with teams across the world from the UK to Europe, Canada and the USA. Art is a universal language and connects with humans of all cultures so we travel to most places.

We don't teach art in our sessions. We use the art supplies to build a nurturing, trusting environment to unlock the greatness within your people.
