Catalyst's Forum for Creative Flourishing
Six days of workshops and events on creative restoration and rejuvenation with Berlin industry professionals for creatives and artists.
The Forum for Creative Flourishing is a series of workshops and exhibitions designed to let participants experientially explore the psychological underpinnings of the creative process. Through hands-on practices with engaging experts participants will have the opportunity to learn more about themselves and build a deeper relationship with their own creative process.
This year’s theme is Creative Restoration and Rejuvenation — what fuels us, sustains us and brings our artistic energy back to life. Together we'll explore what kind of creative habits and practices can help to "fill up our cup", restore our energy, and give us the fuel we need to creatively flourish.
What to expect:
Attendees gain access to workshops and events led by practising artists and psychologists. Each workshop requires its own ticket, allowing you to choose the sessions that best support your creative journey. Through hands-on sessions, you’ll explore the psychological roots of creativity, reflect on your own process and discover new tools for growth.
Every workshop ticket also grants you access to a unique exhibition performance at the end of each day. These exhibitions will include industry professionals who will share their insights on creative restoration and rejuvenation through a captivating live performance.
Open to all, the forum is also a great opportunity to learn more about our courses in Applied Creative Psychology, as part of Catalyst's School of Creative Human Development.

Embodied Creativity: Restoring Flow by Turning Inwards with Laura Koubenec
In this workshop we'll explore how staying connected to one's bodily sensations helps creative restoration. By reconnecting with their physical selves, participants will learn tools to release tension, restore vitality, and reignite creative flow. Using mindfulness and centering exercises, and body awareness practices I will draw on well-established embodiment techniques I have practiced within my certification as an embodiment coach. Exercises will foster self-acceptance/love and grace to start the creative process from a gentle, accepting and nourished place. Participants are invited to do a range of exploratory individual and partner exercises, move throughout the room, and share through open dialogue. This workshop requires a ticket to attend.

Somatic Fictions with Lo Höckner
The concept of "Somatic Fictions" explores the body’s capacity to create and to recover by introducing body-based tools that engage the nervous system alongside the “felt sense”. It addresses the body as a generative site in order to shift from fixity into flow, from overwhelm into possibility, choice and even play. I will introduce practices that bridge neuro-scientific research—drawing especially from Polyvagal theory—and embodied creative practices. The focus is on practices for restoring regulation of the autonomic nervous system, thus offering tools for strengthening resilience and tapping into non-verbal, sensory-based, action-oriented modes. This workshop requires a ticket to attend.
