Creativity on Prescription.

The evidence based, trauma-informed 8 week program provides opportunity to explore a range of practices with expert teachers, and create targeted self care strategies for managing a range of physical and mental health experiences.

Press Play.

Press Play themed courses are designed to ignite curiosity, fun, delight and creativity. Whether you spend four weeks learning a range of textile craft techniques, or songwriting, how to grow a garden, or an introduction to painting and drawing, this course builds up your capacity to cultivate a joyful habit of creative play into your routine, for proven mental health benefits.

Creative Immersions.

After four years of hosting Jamboree Weekend Escape where people come to the forest to glamp, bunk and camp to learn Traditional Batik, Foraged Cooking, Indigenous Iconography, Songwriting, Bush Plants, Found Object Sculpture, Storytelling, Coil Weaving, Life Drawing, Choreography, Animation and so, so much more, we understand what makes a truly transformative creative immersion.

Lunch Break.

Make Shift's four week course, Lunch Break, takes you on a one hour weekly immersion into creativity through drawing, music and movement, plus some quick tools for learning now to manage stress, overwhelm and stay grounded. These are designed with our expertise of workplace wellbeing and psychological safety elements for teams.
