Employee Wellness through Creativity: Focusing on your Workplace Culture Goals
Palette & Stone specializes in utilizing art therapy techniques to battle burnout and reduce stress in the workplace. How? Workshop facilitators use grounding techniques in combination with art exploration. Through art, we explore creative coping skills to reduce burnout symptoms, increase serotonin levels to foster a balanced and joyful workplace. We also engaged our brains and bodies in a mindfulness practice, which is known to reduce anxiety and depression. This creates an environment for participants to tap into their creativity while re-wiring their nervous system, and take a break from environmental stressors. The act of making and expressing is inherently therapeutic, and workshops are led by a licensed and board-certified Creative Arts Therapist to help us get there!
Here are some of our highlighted workshops:
01 — Mindfulness
The Mindfulness Workshop is focused on relaxation, balancing the nervous system, and staying in the present moment. Participants are warmed up with a guided visualization, and then spend time creating a Mindfulness Strand or Intention Bracelet with beading materials.
2 Hrs. All Materials Provided.
02 — Gratitude Boards
The Gratitude Workshop is focused on cultivating work-life balance, and fostering resiliency, especially for those whose work is emotionally taxing. Participants are warmed up with a breathing practice, and then spend time using found images to create a Gratitude Board. No “hustle culture vision boards” here, this practice invites us to slow down and focus on appreciation.
2 Hrs. All Materials Provided.
03 — Let Go
Battling Perfectionism? The Let Go Workshop invites participants to release control as they explore fluid, experimental painting. Using “Pour Paint” and watercolor techniques, participants are invited to explore a satisfying and often unpredictable painting process which embraces the colorful and the abstract.
1-1.5 Hrs. All Materials Provided. This workshop flow is more structured as the facilitator needs to provide step by step instruction.
04 — Creative Grounding Space
A very popular option for a drop-in creativity space. With no set start time, participants are encouraged to drop in and engage in shorter, self-led creative grounding activities and receive literature on creative coping skills and grounding techniques. Palette & Stone transforms your space with all 5 senses, and allows participants to take a quick breather from trainings or conferences. Activity examples include aromatherapy sachets, affirmation stone painting, calming glitter jars, etc, all which make great take-aways for participants.
Drop in style, allow 30 minutes for participants. All materials provided.
