What Participants Discovered

"I came here so upset. This calmed me so so much ... I felt most like myself today making these funny little trees, because I didn't follow the directions!!" 

~ Karen, Hampden Parks & Rec Participant



"Before this workshop, I felt very stressed. After this workshop, I feel relaxed."

Participants most frequently described feeling calmer, more focused, more present, and more willing to engage creatively without judgment. 

Why Creativity?

Most workplace experiences ask participants to absorb information.


This experience asks them to notice.  To observe. To explore. To engage with curiosity rather than performance.


For a brief moment, attention shifts away from deadlines, expectations, and constant demands and returns to the present moment.


Participants begin with a gentle transition from doing into being.


Through guided artistic exploration and accessible creative techniques, attention shifts away from constant demands and toward the present moment. 


The experience concludes with reflection, allowing participants to notice what has emerged and carry it forward.

What Makes This Different

Calming the Chaos™ is not an art class. 


 Nor is it a conventional team-building activity. 


Calming the Chaos™ is a structured creative experience designed to help participants shift from constant doing into focused presence. Through accessible artistic exploration, employees experience a different mode of attention, one that encourages curiosity, observation, experimentation, and reflection.

About Erin

 Artist, educator, and former public-school art teacher, Erin Leigh Boughamer has spent more than two decades helping people access creativity through observation, exploration, and process.
