Workshops for Companies

With over five years facilitating workshops for companies including Google, Deep Mind, Siemens, Soho House and Second Home I have experienced the power this approach has in building stronger team bonds, resilience, creative innovation and awareness.

These workshops allow time away from the busy day to day of our roles and the opportunity to free us from our limiting beliefs, our unconscious patterns and our places of resistance. Through guided drawing practices we connect to a deeper place within ourselves and with one another, creating an inner freedom and sense of wholeness that can be taken off the paper and out into the rest of our work and lives.

This approach breaks down the association with creating as being either good or bad. Drawing is simply a process of making marks on the paper. It doesn’t need to look like anything. The practice encourages us to observe the judgements we place on ourselves and others and allow these to transform to a place of acceptance by laying emphasis on embracing it all, letting go of the outcome, and the possibility of finding joy in the process. Over time, it supports us in freeing ourselves from the constraints of perfection which in turn leads to more free flowing ideas as well as a deeper connection and compassion to ourselves and others.

These workshops intend to:

  • Support overall wellbeing, mental and physical health

  • Deepen personal and collective connection 

  • Encourage play as a process for creative innovation

  • Create time to relax and calm the mind

  • Create space for new ideas to emerge

  • Be a fun and innovative approach to engagement

  • Support deeper team bonds

    Workshops can be done both in person and online

  • “Laurie Nouchka and I had the pleasure of working together when Laurie was our Artist in Residence at Soho Beach House in Miami. The week-long residence had Laurie taking our members on a journey of Art and Yoga. This happened during one of the most inspiring weeks for Art in the Miami calendar Art Basel. The following July Laurie returned to Miami as we launched a collaborative collection of clothing inspired by the architecture of Miami beach in celebration of Miami Swim Week. The launch included Laurie giving talks, workshops and dinners. One of the highlights was her drawing workshops where members were taken through her process of meditative drawing. Laurie’s presence in Miami lives on through our members' experience, they still talk of their time with her.”
