🎨 THE PLAY LAB 🎨Break Free from "Doing It Right": A Creativity Circle Cultivating Delight
Led by Ilana Ingber
Professional Life Coach & Hypnotist | M.A. in Art Education, Columbia University
✨ This Is For You If You...
✔️ Battle perfectionism, overthinking, or feel limited in your creativity
✔️ Miss the freedom you felt making art as a kid
✔️ Want to create in community and connect with your soul
✔️ Have loads of art experience OR haven't touched a crayon since kindergarten
🌈 What to Expect
We will…
• Connect through guided conversation exploring our beliefs about creativity
• Play with art warm-ups to shake off perfectionism
• Explore art materials to connect deeper with our intuition
• Reflect through writing exercises to discover meaning
• Learn tools to interrupt limiting patterns
• Close with guided meditation and sharing
💫 What You'll Walk Away With
✅ Creative confidence—even if what you made is "unfinished"
✅ Powerful tools for interrupting perfectionism, overthinking, and negative self-talk
✅ Practices to rewire your unconscious mind and bring more ease into daily life
✅ Fresh perspective and courage to show up differently
✅ Connection with like-minded souls creating a more playful world
✅ Permission to delight in the process, not the product
✅ A fuller heart and a quieter inner critic
These aren't just tools for making art—they're practices you can bring to your work, your relationships, and anywhere you need more playful energy.
🎨 All materials provided. No experience necessary. Just bring yourself and your willingness to play.
🦄 Come create, connect, and remember what it feels like to play. ✨
