This small-group workshop is designed to slow things down and shift perspective. The museum setting creates distance from daily routines and offers a mental and visual pause.

We use art as a way to look at perspective through observation rather than analysis. Participants move through the museum using simple prompts to notice what draws attention, what resists it, and what keeps pulling them back. The art serves as a shared reference point for conversation.

The focus is on observation and discussion grounded in thinking differently and creative problem solving. This approach is especially useful for people navigating pressure, perfectionism, or a sense of overload, and for those looking for clearer ways to organize complex ideas.


Facilitator

I’m Ryan, founder of Campfire Tales and a visual artist with over 22 years of experience. I work across art, facilitation, and coaching, and regularly design small-group experiences that help people step back and see their thinking more clearly.

Advance registration is required to keep the group small and focused.
