As facilitators of the creative process, I know of no better instructors than Paul and Stephanie Nolan. I have experienced their expertise as both a participant and as a workshop host who has invited them to train and teach other artists & therapists as a part of my nonprofit’s (BuildaBridge) Institute for Arts in Transformation. Paul’s extensive knowledge of creativity & the creative process coupled with Stephanie’s genius in bringing concepts to life through experiential events is an unbeatable combination. As a participant, they rekindled my everyday creative spirit and my appreciation of the importance of play for both children and adults! If you want to get in touch with your own creativity, need to let go a bit and experience the joy of being alive (as I did), or to gain more expertise in facilitating creativity for clients, attend or host a Nolans workshop.

Paul and Stephanie’s creativity workshop for my interdisciplinary team colleagues at the neurorehabilitation facility was an extraordinary opportunity to explore the transformative power of inner creativity. Amazing facilitators, Paul and Stephanie built up the moment-by-moment of the creative experience with empathy, sense of humor, joy, warmth and expertise. I witnessed outstanding changes in colleagues’ stance while facing their own creativity and in turn rethinking the meaning and benefits of creativity in our patients. Highly enriching experience that enhance everyday personal creativity .

I was fortunate to host a creativity training workshop by Paul and Stephanie Nolan for my creative arts therapy colleagues. I was excited to watch the enthusiasm and energy spread throughout the group during the workshop and I was even more pleased to listen to how the experience infused their practice in the days and weeks that followed. It was a truly memorable day of learning, laughter, and awesome music!
