Are you feeling a bit demoralised, or feel dismayed at the art or publishing world and want to get your creative mojo back? Come to this course to explore how other fields can help you see problems in a different way. This is an entertaining and supportive session to 'big' you up again and help you think 'outside the box' for what you want to achieve: learn about weird puzzles which great thinkers used in down times, the art and romance of Mahjong and pattern recognition, and listen to music to slow down your thought process and help you gain clarity... and much more! Students are encouraged to bring in an example of a favourite piece of music on their phones, their favourite art work or book, and a photo that reminds them of a time in their life when they felt most like themselves or most alive!
