WHAT DOES CREATIVE BY NATURE DO?

Creative by Nature endeavours to integrate creative healing into their practices and portfolio, offering a variety of consultancy services, products and workshops that align with a need to re-imagine how we live and sustain ourselves in the face of a climate change, economic uncertainty, and an increasingly digitised reality.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Creative by Nature creates environments that inspire collective care and collaboration.  We do this by adopting strategies from permaculture, biomimicry, story -telling, and community-based arts counselling. The product is an Arts and Therapeutic Horticulture practice which creates powerful ways to heal, collaborate and connect to the world meaningfully. It cultivates creative expressions and interaction with nature to encourage the well-being of individuals, local environment, and communities.

We combine traditional skills sets in project management, logistics, curatorship, and services and tailor these to each project or individual needs. Creative by Nature brings together the logicality of a highly organised individual, with the intuition and compassion of visionary creative expression. We facilitate a process that uses tangible and intangible experiences to explore new solutions.

Creative by Nature appreciates that time and energy are some of our most precious resources By managing these critically, efficiently, collaboratively, and creatively, the entire project is likely to be healthier, wealthier, and more sustainable.

Creative by Nature employs imaginative empathy and visualisation techniques to design, build and manage complex programmes, plans and archives. We integrate as many elements in a project as possible, and curate diverse outcomes that represent an organisation’s or individual’s vision and intentions.

Creative by Nature strives to bring together Arts and Therapeutic Horticulture, a reverence for nature and growing practices into a collective care paradigm to inspire change, placemaking and innovation in incremental and compassionate ways.
