From the first days of our lives, we are all lead by feelings and intuition. Conscious reasoning comes in later. To be happy, open and successful, we need all of this combined. In this workshop we are going to paint without brushes, but with natural materials together. You will see and feel this by yourself, “emotion and nature” goes deeper. Even if you have painted never before – you will just do it, and be surprised by the result! Ultimately, our nature are humans too.

Meet Xindanwei, a Shanghai based international open innovation program in experiential and radical learning for organization, startup and strategy development. We design and deliver creative participatory learning environments and experiences for game-changing conversations and disruptive solutions, and connect the participants with the movers and shakers of China’s creative, technology and social innovation scene. We challenge participants to leave their comfort zones, harness individual and collective creativity to evolve and innovate. The outcome is inspiration, transformation, confidence, ownership and next individual and organizational endeavor. This isn’t just about generating ideas. It’s also about making the ideas happen.
The co-working community we serve and work with is a self-nourishing network embedded in China’s creative, tech and social sectors which provides community members with the opportunity to seek out resonated spirits and share in rich discussions about creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation and impact to the society.

After a long time in education and managing a kindergarden in Germany, I saw established education methods being too narrow to unleash the full potential in pre-school and early school children. Therefore, I developed an experience based learning program for pre-school children years ago.
After having moved to Shanghai, we added arts to the program, for which we started “emotionandnature”.
