3 hours Class size 4 to 15     label $75 ($75 per class surcharge applies for private classes)

See NYC in a whole new way with this unique outdoor experience that combines the beauty of the natural world with the power of creative expression. In this art workshop in NYC, your instructor will guide you through a series of engaging activities that incorporate art, writing, creative expression, and mindfulness.

Whether you're looking to spark your creativity or simply let go of stress and anxiety, our Creativity in Nature Experience is the perfect way to nourish your mind, body, and soul.

You will enjoy a series of activities and exercises designed to help you express yourself in new and meaningful ways while deepening your powers of observation and tuning into your senses.

Some of the activities that you can look forward to might include:

  • Mindful nature walks - Take a leisurely stroll through the park, breathe in the fresh air, and let the sounds of nature calm your mind and open your senses.
  • Creative writing exercises - Use your surroundings as inspiration for journal writing, poetry, or prose. Follow guided prompts for unexpected ways to combine writing and exploration of your surroundings.
  • Visual art - Create land art using natural materials such as leaves, twigs, and stones, or express yourself through painting or drawing.
  • Photography - Capture moments of beauty and surprise using prompts and questions.
  • Group discussions and sharing - Connect with other workshop participants and share your work in an environment of support, open-mindedness, and empathy.

By the end of the workshop, you'll have not only gained new skills and insights into your own creativity, but also a deeper connection to yourself and the natural world around you. Join me on this journey of self-discovery and creative expression!

Please note:
  • While I normally offer this experience in various NYC parks, I am happy to travel to you to create a unique experience in a natural setting of your choice.
  • In case of inclement weather, class will be rescheduled.

I'm Karen Sullivan, a Creativity Coach based in Brooklyn, NY.

What is a Creativity Coach, you ask?

I use creativity and arts-based tools to help people grow, get unstuck, and reignite the magic inside. We are all innately creative (yes, even you!), but many of us have lost touch with that side of ourselves. My goal is for each and every person to reconnect with their creativity and harness its power to be happier, more whole humans.

I have an MA in Counseling, an MFA in Drama and Theatre for Youth, and I'm currently in a graduate program in the Expressive Arts. I love to learn and am committed to continuing to grow and deepen my knowledge and skills.

I have worked with people in and through the arts for over 20 years. I've been on Zoom only for the past few years and am thrilled to finally be offering a workshop in person! If you want to talk more about what I do, reach out, I'd love to chat!
