Workshop Themes
-
Worldbuilding
-
The art of worldbuilding is to weave the threads of imagination into a tapestry that transports us beyond the boundaries of our mundane existence. It is an invitation for both creator and beholder alike to embark on a boundless journey through realms yet unknown, where breathtaking landscapes unfold beneath vibrant skies and ancient civilizations breathe life anew.
-
In this session, we tackle worldbuilding in a fictional and literal sense in terms of architecting mental, spiritual, and physical realities.
-
-
Entrepreneurship
-
Architecting any business requires fostering curiosity about how industries move forward.
-
Participants will practice connecting the dots through a series of reflection exercises and prompts.
-
-
Turning Dreams Into Reality
-
Execution matters when it comes to bringing things to life. Time management and project management become even more important if you lack resources.
-
Yet, your ingenuity is a powerful tool to take what we are passionate about and turn it into a lucrative career.
-
Prompts/Main Points
-
As you look at everything in this room, think about the business side and each element that goes into creating all that you see. What do you observe? How is it made and presented to you?
-
We don’t often have time or permission to play, but in this workshop, give yourself permission to.
-
Connecting imagination to monetization is the art of turning your wildest dreams into food on your table, clothes on your back, and a roof over your head.
