Facilitator: Dawn Garisch (Life Righting Company)

SOLIDitech runs an annual Wellness Month every October, designed to nurture both physical and mental health across its global teams. The company’s goal is to encourage creative outlets as part of its wellness programme - promoting balance, connection and curiosity in a high-performance culture.

The session introduced journalling as both a wellness practice and a professional skill — a bridge between creativity and performance. Even in a fully remote setting, it created a collective moment of pause and reflection across global teams.

Although participants could only engage via chat, the energy was reflective, engaged and curious. Dawn’s facilitation style combined intellectual depth with warmth, creating a calm and psychologically safe environment.

The course offered insights and benefits that:

• Promoted play as a primal and productive human need/instinct – Reclaiming play rekindles learning and imagination. “Play is our birthright.”
• Proposed curiosity as preferable to control – Creativity helps manage uncertainty and builds emotional flexibility. “Creativity, by definition, is not knowing what’s going to happen next.”
• Recommended the page as a safe space – Participants found calm and perspective through structured reflection. “The page is a safe space to explore.”
• Suggested writing as calming and reflective – Journalling transforms emotional overwhelm into self-understanding. “Putting it down on the page helps you put it down in your life.”
