We foster creativity,
collaboration, empathy and team culture
OUR STORY
Purpose
Connect people and open minds through creativity and, in our way, help create an inclusive, tolerant and mindful world.
Belief
A person’s perception is their reality which is guided by their perspective. Therefore, opening ourselves to diverse perspectives makes for richer conversations, better relationships, greater creativity and better solutions.
Yet most decisions are guided by our biases and the loudest voices. Therefore we seek information that supports our decisions (‘confirmatory bias’). Even the internet algorithms enable this behaviour by keeping us in our information bubble.
Mysteries In Colour™ Process
The Mysteries In Colour™ process surfaces rich and diverse perspectives in any room through creativity and pareidolia (per-ˌī-ˈdō-lē-ə), a fun psychological phenomenon.
Sharing perspectives creates a better understanding of each other, leading to more collaboration, better ideas and fewer conflicts.
The Mysteries In Colour™ is an imaginative, fun and nonjudgemental way to see another’s point of view, which helps build empathy and a human connection.
The process opens up your mind to different solutions and wakes up the inner child. The Mysteries In Colour™ process can also be used to practice mindfulness through creativity, reduce stress, or just for fun.
The Author
The Mysteries In Colour™ process was years in the making but came to life during the ‘stay at home’ restrictions of the Pandemic.
Mazarine Memon, an Indo-Canadian mixed-media artist and mindfulness practitioner, combined ‘Pareidolia’ (a psychological phenomenon) with her ‘inkblot’ creative process and tested it as a way to keep her friends engaged and connected remotely.
The process was a hit with her social circle! So in 2021, Mazarine published Mysteries In Colour™ the world’s first art workbook with no lines to colour within and launched a series of corporate and social workshops.
The success of the corporate team-building workshops is attracting interest from hundreds of potential ambassadors worldwide to host and facilitate this concept in their cities.
