Have you been thinking about writing for a long time, but your inner critic has been louder? Do you want to find joy, flow, and playfulness in writing? Would you like to awaken your creativity, but don't know where to start? This course is for you!

The Door to Creativity is a gentle and inspiring two-day weekend course where you can explore writing without any pressure to perform. No prior knowledge or skills are required for this course—all you need is curiosity and a desire to try something new.

Door to Creativity course

We unlock creativity through easy and fun exercises.
We write a lot – concisely, freely, experimentally, surprisingly.
we use stimuli – texts, pictures, objects, and memories – that spark the imagination
we explore the sources of creativity, the birth of inspiration, and finding topics
We liberate the writer who lives within each of us, even if he or she has been dormant for a while.

All you need is a notebook, a pen, and an open mind. No previous experience in creative writing is necessary—the course is suitable for everyone, from beginners to experienced writers.

Why this course in particular?

Because every person is creative.

Creativity is not just for writers or artists—it is in all of us from birth. As we grow up, our inner creativity often becomes quieter, but it never disappears. It just waits for someone to open the door.

Ovi luovuuteen (Door to Creativity) offers you a peaceful, encouraging space where you can experiment, write, and discover something new about yourself. Creativity brings joy, relaxation, meaning, and new perspectives to life, and it can be rediscovered at any age.
