​This workshop is ideal for anyone without any design or artistic, creative experience! (But creatives will also benefit greatly from it).

​🌱 Why Originate?

​We’re not here to do more. We’re here to do different.

​In a world obsessed with growth and speed, Originate Institute invites you to pause… and return. Return to what matters. To what lasts. To what’s real.

​This workshop is your entry point into a radical new methodology, The Origin8 Method™, a creativity system rooted in timeless wisdom, nature’s intelligence, and cultural depth.

​For 4 hours you will put on a architect's hat, and search for inspiration in nature, human wisdom and the environment around you for ideas on how to make this world a better place.

​🧭 Who This Is For

• ​Anyone who were told by the world they are not creative or a designer (but deep inside knew that they really are)

• ​Designers and creatives who want to fip their toes into a new, origins-inspired methodology

• ​Educators and researchers building new pedagogies

• ​Professionals seeking deeper, purpose-driven innovation and leadership

​🔍 What You'll Experience

​In just 4.5 hours, you'll be guided through a transformative process—not just for your designs, but for your mind.

​You’ll learn to:

​✅ Search for inspiration in nature, human history and cultures
✅ How architecture thinking can help you solve your daily problems
✅ Uncover your artistic intuition with structured frameworks
✅ Work with AI tools to come up with original ideas (Instead of it creating them for you)
✅ Create one concept rooted in nature, culture & user insight

​And you’ll walk away with:
💡 A tangible concept
🎓 A digital certificate
🌍 A spot in the Global Originators Network
