play + creativity for teams

Creativity & Connection

Using Treasure Time principles of play and creativity, our guided workshops bring people together to make, talk and connect in a relaxed and playful atmosphere. From a two-hour team social to a full-day collaborative art experience, we create opportunities for colleagues to get to know each other beyond their usual roles.

something different for your team

The best conversations happen when you’re doing something with your hands.

Creative activities give people something to focus on together. The pressure comes down, conversation happens more naturally and people have an opportunity to share parts of themselves that don’t always come out during the working day.

We guide the process so nobody needs to consider themselves creative or know where to start. People can simply join in, make something and see where the conversation takes them.

something different for your team

Play helps people feel part of something bigger.

At work, we often spend our time focused on our own roles, responsibilities and individual goals. There aren't always many opportunities to experience what it feels like to create something together.

Play gives everyone a chance to contribute, regardless of their role, seniority or creative ability. Everyone has something to bring, and every contribution becomes part of a shared experience.

When people create something together, they experience a sense of belonging and collective achievement. They get to see how their individual contribution fits into something bigger, while discovering new sides of the people they work with.

These shared experiences help people feel included, valued and more connected to their colleagues and the team they're part of.

The playful elements made it feel relaxed and easy to open up. Although there were Directors sat at my table, it felt like everyone was talking to each other on a human level.

Participant feedback, Creativity + Connection Workshop

When I try creative bits I tend to struggle with where to start, but having the prompts and cues for discussion really helped me get involved. It was really enjoyable!

The playful elements created a safe space to open up, there were conversations around our table about parenting and relationships that probably wouldn't have happened in other settings.

The session changed how I relate to colleagues, particularly as a lot of people in the room were not people I directly work with in the day to day. I felt more bonded to them.

What is a Creativity & Connection session?

A Creativity & Connection session is a guided creative workshop that brings people together through shared experiences. Using playful, hands-on activities, we create opportunities for people to connect, express themselves and build stronger relationships in a relaxed and enjoyable environment

Not at all! Our experiences are designed for everyone, regardless of artistic ability or experience. All you need is a willingness to get involved and try something new.
