Dubai is a vibrant international cityof fascinating contrasts. You will see ancient marketplaces and ultramodern malls side by side. There are pristine beaches where you can swim to your heart's content and stretches of desert, where you can ride camels or picnic under the moon. Overnight safaris let you sleep in the desert under the stars at Bedouin-style campsites. Meanwhile, back in town, you can go to outdoor cafes, concerts, plays, art galleries, artisan stores or shop at one of the largest international malls in the world.Each day the Creativity Workshop in Dubai will meet for 3 1/2 hours. We will explore ways to expand our creativity through a series of exercises including guided visualization technique, automatic drawing and writing, map making, memoir, and storytelling. Throughout the workshop, the exercises and talks by the instructors will focus on ways to: Believe in your creativity Stimulate your perceptive abilities Find inspiration in the world around you Discover and use images from the unconscious Get over creative blocks and the fear of failure Engage your curiosity Recognize and use your creative instincts Give yourself the time, permission, and nourishment to do creative work Develop a daily practice to accomplish these goals Work collaboratively Use your memories to engage the imagination
