Featured Organization
St Ann's Intergenerational Center
Milwaukee, WI
Working with Master Trainer Elaine Maly, St. Ann's adult day program staff and elders are exploring the Beautiful Question - "if you could have a super power, what would it be?"
But they are taking it 10 steps further to create full stories around those super heros. They are collaborating with artist Emma Daisy to create comic books that will be shared in a public celebration.

We do large scale (state, national, global) conference keynotes with our award winning Founder and Master Trainers. Contact us to tailor a presentation to your group!
Keynote Karaoke
Audiences learn our choreographic method and create their own dance as part of this dynamic, playful and inspiring 60-90 minute session.

What people are saying about us!
The biggest high point for me is, I have one resident that doesn't come out of her room much, so I do a room visit with her and when I visit she will ask me if I brought a story picture. Storytelling has helped bring her out of her shell, and it's something that she enjoys.

Oh my goodness - the JOY and DELIGHT of the whole shared creative process is so uplifting - who can stop smiling? It affects everyone and ripples out.
- Victoria Orlando, Certified Facilitator, Bridgewater, NJ
One of the participants proudly stated ‘I can’t remember, but here I can imagine’, which I found an incredibly moving testament to the power of this programme.

Having a master trainer to work directly with has been a real gift.

FAQs
Got a question? The answer might be right here.
How does my Organization get trained?-
Just click on Org Training in Services (or here). We offer fully online or in-person training. The training elements include:
I’m a Certified Facilitator. What does that mean I can do?-
Certification assures you that you have successfully transitioned from training to practice, and enables you to facilitate storytelling circles and call them TimeSlips sessions. Certified Facilitators can “model” Time Slips for others, but they can not “certify” others. That is reserved for people trained as In-House Trainers and Master Trainers.
Do I have to take the Online Training to use the Creativity Center?-
As part of our mission to make creative engagement available to all, our Creativity Center is free to use without training. We think the training will be enormously helpful - but it’s not required.
