Untamed Minds Presents: "Creative Wilds" – A Journey Into Imagination

Untamed Minds Presents: "Creative Wilds" – A Journey Into Imagination 🎨🌀

An offering to children—an invitation back to their untamed, curious, and wildly creative minds.

This workshop is designed to unlock pure creative freedom, offering kids a safe, playful space where imagination leads the way. In a world that often tells kids to color inside the lines, Untamed Minds gives them permission to break the mold, explore boldly, and create without limits.

Through a mix of mindfulness, storytelling, and hands-on art-making, kids will:

✨ Reconnect with their creativity through guided meditation.

🖋 Spark their imagination with playful creative writing.

🎭 Bring their stories to life using an exciting mix of art materials.

🧠 Tap into curiosity & problem-solving by turning ideas into structured play.

We’ll begin with a short meditation to center their energy, followed by writing exercises to awaken their inner storyteller. From there, we’ll dive into visual art, experimenting with textures, colors, and unexpected materials to transform their stories into tangible creations.

This is not just an art class—it’s a space where kids can think differently, explore deeply, and embrace the joy of fearless creation. Are you ready to set your imagination free? 🚀🎨✨

📍 Date & Time: March 16th 11-1pm 

📍 Location: Metanoia Toolbox 

📍 Ages: 6-10
