The creative is the place where no-one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself."

The Creative Edge in Pretoria
Following the African creativity conferences my friend and colleague Francois Coetzee organised a day long Creative Edge workshop for a small group of people at the Ubuntu Training Centre in Pretoria.
We explored the characteristics of creative people and 'measured' ourselves against them. This at times meant we tied each other in knots!
We explored the six habits of creative people - be open, collect, surround, seek, challenge and play - and looked at ways making them a greater priority in our lives. And played with with modelling clay
We spent time using Speed Thinking - a very effective thinking process developed by Dr Ken Hudson - more at www.speeedthinkingzone.com
