For this session, you’ll be joined by Support Act’s in-house psychologist and creativity expert Ash King alongside co-facilitators Grace Newton-Wordsworth & Aaron Birch from Joan & The Giants. They’ll work through an interactive workshop exploring how you can nurture conditions for a sustainable creative practice.
