About Sprout Creativity
Our mission is, to help people lead a more creative life and when you join Sprout Creativity, you don’t just start your own creative journey but you also join our creative journey!
Talking to our users we saw that while creative work leads to a sense of accomplishment through completing projects and provides a break from regular routine, most of them still face challenges in leading a creative life.
One of the biggest challenges that make it difficult to be more creative everyday is consistency and both internal and external barriers like busy schedules, difficulty in finding guidance, and lack of an engaged community.
Need for Creative Expression
Everyone has a need for creative expression, however our busy schedules and multiple digital distractions leave us with limited time for our creative outlets.
Creative expression has been known to increase feelings of joy and optimism and also lead to reduced stress and relieve anxiety. At Sprout we believe creative outlets help us engage and immerse ourselves in activities and experiences in a flow state or as some say being in the zone. The creative experience is not just about what you get as an output but about the process itself.
And like meditation or fitness, engaging with creativity is a practice that requires training and habit building to achieve long-term benefits. This is why at Sprout Creativity we encourage our members to set their own creative journey and track progress.
Creative time = Me Time
And anyone who chooses to be a creator can build their creativity with some guidance and training. Some other benefits of crafting include
- seeking for wellness or relaxation,
- gaining a sense of accomplishment or joy,
- building self-esteem through projects and learning new skills
- fuelling our curiosity
- making social connections and friendships.
It’s time for Creativity - Its time for me.
