Creativity and Play

We all have a story to tell that is uniquely ours and a way to tell it like no one else could. Creativity is part of who we are at our deepest level, and when we access it we reveal a piece of ourself to the world. To access our creativity takes an open and often lighthearted attitude; we need to look at life as if we've never seen it before.

Creativity is a kind of play, and play, as Albert Einstein once noted, is "the highest form of research." Through play and its creative qualities, we learn to express our most authentic self and discover who we really are. We make contact with the places in us that we usually avoid, and open ourself to the myriad experiences of life.

As adults, many of us have lost touch with our creative and playful side, bowing to the perceived gravity of families, careers, and daily life. But the desire to create remains in us, calling to us from our innermost depths. Maybe you want to write, paint, build, draw, make music, sing, or dance but don't remember how to do it or even where to start.

A program at Omega provides a safe environment where you can feel free to reconnect with your creative self. Whether you are interested in art workshops, dance workshops, a writing retreat, or something that will help you feel the joy and exhilaration of childhood again, there is no shortage of ways for you to express yourself at Omega. Omega art workshops, dance workshops, a writing retreat and other creativity workshops go beyond merely teaching techniques of a particular craft; they show you how to create from your very essence.
