Elevating people through a shared creative experience.

You will engage in a series of fun, creative challenges designed to increase your creativity and build more productive habits.

Each challenge pushes you to rethink the way you see yourself and the world around you to uncover new possibilities and ideas.

Throughout these exercises, we reveal misconceptions about creativity, annoying aspects of the mind that lead us to repress creative thinking, and the research behind these methods.

If you want to share your results with fellow creative thinkers, There are fun hashtags at the end of each exercise. No pressure, though, think of each exercise as a gift to yourself.

How it works.

These exercises are taken from proven brainstorming, ideation and innovation exercises across art, design, business, and science.

Through a series of entertaining, creative challenges, you develop both an understanding of creativity and increase your own ability.

The principal learning mechanism is a series of "Think differents", where you are challenged to identify and change your own cultural, habitual, and normal patterns of thinking.

These employ variations of proven tools, frameworks, and concepts to move you outside of your existing comfort zone and reawaken your innate creativity. The exercises involve observation, imagination, abstracting, pattern recognition, and analogies.

Who we are.

Pilgrim Soul’s Creative Thinking Project is a collaboration of creative professionals from diverse backgrounds contributing to the greater creative good.

Our mission is to elevate creative thinking to give people a competitive edge in life and work.

Creativity is not just for artists. It's for business people looking for a new way to close a sale; it's for engineers trying to solve a problem; it's for parents who want their children to see the world in more than one way.

Creative thinking is about reinventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.
