about CRAVE WORKSHOPS
personal well-being & professional performance
In today’s fast-paced work environment, stress and burnout are all too common. Crave Workshops offers a sanctuary from this, providing a space where individuals can disconnect from daily pressures and reconnect with themselves and their colleagues. By engaging in mindful art practices, participants are guided to be fully present in the moment, fostering a deep sense of calm and focus. This isn’t just about creating something beautiful; it’s about cultivating an internal state of peace and self-awareness that can have lasting effects on both personal well-being and professional performance.
The process-driven nature of our workshops emphasizes flow—encouraging participants to lose themselves in the act of creation, much like one would in a meditative state. This flow state not only reduces stress but also enhances creativity and problem-solving abilities, making it a valuable experience for teams looking to innovate and collaborate more effectively.
The communal aspect of our workshops strengthens bonds within teams. By sharing a mindful, creative experience, participants connect on a deeper level, fostering a sense of unity and mutual support that transcends the usual work dynamics. This shared journey in art-making promotes empathy, enhances communication, and builds a stronger, more cohesive team.
how it started
FOUNDED 2017
BASED IN NAPA, CALIFORNIA
Crave Workshops is a creative experience company founded by artist Agnes Pierscieniak. Specializing in both virtual and in-person events, Crave collaborates with global and local brands to design experiences that connect and inspire. The company's journey began with intimate backyard art parties in Venice Beach in January 2017, inspired by Agnes’s global travels and her desire to bring the community together through art. These workshops initially catered to small groups of participants, providing a space to combat the loneliness and isolation of living in a big city.
In 2020, Crave expanded rapidly, pivoting to virtual events and custom mailed kits to meet the growing demands of the pandemic. Since then, Crave Workshops has transformed into a globally-reaching phenomenon, hosting hundreds of events. As a leader in the evolving frontier of mindfulness, Crave is shaping the future of creative wellness and pioneering new ways to connect through art.
