Creating opportunities for transformation
We at Treecreate work across a range of sectors in local, national and international contexts, including arts, education and government.
With over 25 years experience in working strategic across cultures and knowledge systems to provide education programs, symposia and experimental fora, we focus on implementing transdisciplinary approaches to some of the globe’s ‘wicked problems.’
Our workshops focus on applying user centred design and design thinking with participatory action and social practices theories and methods. Our goal is to facilitate and empower people to activate change to be in alignment with environmental awareness and the need for transformational change. We work with all ages to encourage creativity, social empowerment, exploration and self expression.
Treecreate brings our experience together to offer a unique combination of mentoring, coaching and co-creative experience labs for individual development and organisational change programs.

Past programs
Weaving Water @ Yarun
Weaving Water @ Yarun was an onsite and virtual program presented 27 November to 8 December 2023. The overall program was framed by acknowledging First Nations peoples and their deep understanding and relationship to place.
The aim of this ArtSci project was to create a space to explore Yarun (Bribie Island) and its environment, history and community. The objective of the project is to build connections between the local creative and environmentally focused community organisations with artists and scientists that are internationally recognised for their work.
