the need for creativity
"The times are urgent, let us slow down." — Bayo Akomolafe
Our creativity and imagination make us human.
We recognize the intrinsic benefits of returning to creative whole brain functioning, both personally and collectively — for a healthier world.
Creative play is soothing and regulating to the nervous system and the self-connection that comes from a sustained practice is foundational to overall emotional well-being.
****
The Beehive is a sanctuary for what is still alive and wild inside of us.
The creativity at the heart of things - our essential nature and joy - often get lost in our overculture which values productivity over process and outer development over inner experience.

We love to collaborate. If you're a like-minded nonprofit or community member, we'd love to hear from you!
