The courses are attended by people of all backgrounds, experiences, ages, and nationalities coming together in a relaxed and stimulating environment. The only requirements are curiosity about the creative process and a sense of playfulness. Whether you are in business, teaching, art, or science, our workshop can help you discover and nurture your particular way of expression and break through the fears and blocks that inhibit creative expression. Working with thousands of individuals, businesses, and institutions since 1993, the Creativity Workshop helps people believe in and develop their imagination through using a unique series of exercises in memoir, creative writing, visual arts, sense perception, brainstorming, and storytelling. Our concentration is on the process of creativity rather than the product. We emphasize the importance of play and the sharing of ideas to nurture creative growth.

Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel show how you can do this through their challenging and inspiring creativity workshops...even a simple first contact will prove what these two talented teachers can do for your own gifts." Dr. Kirpal Singh, Writer, Professor Singapore Management University. "I have attended at least 10 creative seminars and this creativity workshop is far above the others in its inspiration, positive spirit and techniques for nurturing creativity. The Creativity Workshop changed me forever and moved me forward in managing my creative companies, but more importantly in my personal determination, commitment and creativity in my own projects. This workshop is important for anyone who wants to better understand, develop and celebrate their creativity in their personal or business life." Barbara Roberts, President and CEO Acoustiguides, New York City "I taught a creative writing class yesterday afternoon and felt a new confidence after the summer's Creativity Workshop. I was much more in control and more confident of what I was doing and saying. My students seem more excited about their work using your exercises. I feel that in several months time I shall still be doing and saying things that echo what we covered in your wonderful workshop." Noel Shepherd, Creative Writing Teacher, grades 5 and 6 Washington International School "Thank you for the great, great inspiration and fun of the Creativity Workshop. It helped me get a whole screenplay done during a trip to Mexico afterwards. It was great for me and my students. I don't think I've ever seen them so happy." Doris Doerrie, Filmmaker, Professor Munich Film School, Germany "This is my third workshop coming up and I can't wait! Shelley and Alejandro ever so gently are able to get us fellow travelers (and not students) in to a discovery mode that emerges us deep into the experience of our very own creativity. You are magicians who invite us to return to the best of our childhoods. Once there we recapture those golden days of play and dream and fantasy." Carroll Blue, Professor School of Communications, San Diego State University, San Diego, CA "Because I write for a living, I had forgotten how to write for fun. I learned how to get to that "fun" part of writing again at this workshop." Amy White, VP Internal Corporate Communications Cardinal Health, Worthington, OH "The workshop was incredible. The exercises and your encouragement were wonderful. But, more importantly, your sensitivity and perceptivity in regard to others and the human condition is unbelievable. I wish I knew 10 more of you!" Neil H. Schwartz, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology California State University, Chico "Too often in the workplace, a fear of being judged, of "failure," or of appearing "foolish" to others stifles our most creative thinking. The Creativity Workshop showed me how to first examine, then overcome my personal insecurities so that I am contributing with more freedom, boldness and confidence than ever before." Barbara Bazaldua, Director of Editorial Disney Consumer Products, Anaheim, CA Founded and directed by Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel in 1993, the Creativity Workshop has been taught by them at educational, corporate, cultural and governmental institutions throughout the world.
