Behind the scenes in Chicago. Our facilitators have been sharing some of the most joyful behind-the-scenes moments of the year, and this Chicago workshop is no exception. Watch them practice the TimeSlips method, lead with imagination, and discover just how much creativity lives in every room. Thank you, Rebecca Dumain, for capturing these moments! 📸 Is your organization ready to bring TimeSlips training to your team?

Have you been loving our behind-the-scenes facilitator content? Here’s another glimpse. In early October, Anne Basting led a workshop in partnership with the @alliancetheatre in Atlanta, Georgia. Moments like this are what happens when art, care, and imagination come together. Then the facilitators put it into practice — and the result is pure joy, laughter, and creativity. 💛 Is your organization interested in bringing TimeSlips training to your team? Visit TimeSlips.org or send us a DM to get started. We will be back at the Alliance Theatre in November for another Trainer Institute - stay tuned for more! And to every facilitator who has shared behind-the-scenes or end-of-session photos with us: thank you! Keep them coming, because your moments of joy deserve to be seen. #TimeSlipsCreativeCare #GetTrained

Next stop - Virginia. In today’s vlog, Caroline takes us inside Blue Ridge Respite in Nellysford for an intimate look at a trainer workshop in action. There’s laughter. Curiosity.

Ride along with Regenia, a Meals on Wheels delivery driver for Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin and Metropolitan Chicago, as she delivers creativity with each meal by asking “Beautiful Questions”. TimeSlips has worked with several home delivered meal programs, including a two-year pilot with @mealsonwheelsamerica to help reduce loneliness and social isolation. Through these partnerships, we’ve created training opportunities specifically designed for staff, well-check caller volunteers, and delivery drivers.

They never lost their voice. 🤍 A resident who is often quiet, blooms. Someone withdrawn opens up. A person who thought they had nothing left to say discovers they have stories that matter. TimeSlips doesn't create voices — it reveals the ones that were always there. And when a Facilitator truly sees who someone is beyond the diagnosis? That's when the real healing begins.

Nearly thirty years ago, Anne Basting asked a question that changed everything. What if we stopped asking people to remember and started inviting them to imagine? Through “Beautiful Questions,” Anne discovered a pathway to connection that shifts us away from the expectation of memory and toward the freedom of imagination. In her TED Talk “How to Meaningfully Reconnect with Those Who Have Dementia,” Anne shares how bringing creative care to scale — embedded within care systems — could ease so much pain. Watch as she brings together artists, staff, and elders to reimagine stories and create beauty and meaning together. This is the work. This is the vision. 🔗 Link in bio to watch Anne’s full talk and learn how you can bring TimeSlips to your community. #TimeSlipsCreativeCare #BeautifulQuestions #CreativeCare
