We combine traditional Learning & Development theory with a
humanistic approach grounded in
Expressive Arts Therapy

Our experience brings together an understanding of organizational needs and work cultures with expertise in
arts-based interventions

How do we use Learning & Development theory?

• We are aware of and sensitive to the complexity and impact of organizational culture

• Our understanding of Learning & Development research on areas such as team formation and behaviour cycles, leadership competency, and learning style theories provides a meaningful context for the experiential work we do and for our reports and recommendations for action

How do we use art?

• We use techniques and activities from visual arts, drama, writing, and music

• Our sessions tap into the power of mindfulness, movement, and creativity to explore and connect with ourselves and each other

• Our approach is humanistic in the sense that it focuses on potential and agency

• There is no need to be good at anything: what matters is the process of creating, not the result

• The approach is playful, and the emphasis is on fun, insight, and connection

• We create a supportive space, a playground that encourages people to experiment

Goes beyond the cognitive and connects with emotional reality at a deeper level

Creates experiences of calm, wellbeing, and perspective, which help build resilience and resources to cope with stress, uncertainty, and change

Works in a more right-brained way, tapping into the power of intuition, play, and the imagination

Recognises the uniqueness of the individual and at the same time helps to reveal the universality of human nature and experience

Encourages creativity and experimentation, with all the benefits of playful risk taking and challenge in a safe space

Embraces the power of exploration and expression to provide insight and an enhanced sense of self-worth, positivity, empathy, and connection with others

Why is mental health so crucial?

Attention to mental health is the “secret weapon” of today’s successful company

Supporting your employees is not only the right thing to do ethically; there is also a strong economic case for investing in their mental health.

Why People Horizons?

Our approach works because it connects with the whole person, and recognises the relationship between mental wellbeing and performance.
