When setting dates for Creative Steps, we intentionally selected the change of seasons. As we move from one season to the next throughout the year it’s a perfect time to take a moment to reflect on the past months and focus on the days ahead. Moving together it is a perfect opportunity to reconnect with those already within our circle and start new connections.
Creative Steps was designed with purpose. Moving has positive impact on our bodies- physically, mentally and emotionally. With just 20 minutes of movement new neuro pathways are created; neuro pathways that can help us think through complex problems we face in our business and professional lives. Research shows the benefits that trees bestow upon us, beyond converting carbon dioxide to oxygen. Trees provide shade and cooler temperatures, for sure, but also studies show the positive emotional benefits that people derive from merely viewing trees. That’s why we choose natural locations like parks to hold our Creative Steps events.
Now, combine the movement and trees with other people and the magic takes shape. Bringing people together from different life experiences generates a creative energy. Conversations that I have had on past Creative Steps have sparked new ideas for me personally.
Sarah Young, CEO Zing Collaborative and author of Expansive Impact shares this reflection, "Creative Steps is a great alternative to typical networking events that take place over happy hours, in bars. It's an opportunity to get out in nature while connecting with others. As a bonus, I was grateful to meet a new friend and kindred spirit at one of the recent events."
We invite you to join us on our next Creative Steps adventure on Tuesday, September 19th. Visit the event page for details.
