For Kids
DRAWN FROM WITHIN: FOR KIDS is not a technical drawing class but a way for children to use drawing as a tool for self-exploration, relaxation, creative expression and attention building.
No drawing experience required. No art background necessary.
All you need is a pencil and paper and an imagination.
Drawn from Within explores the way in which drawing enhances the relationship between inside & outside & allows us to see familiarity with renewed curiosity.
The experience provides a meaningful and enjoyable exploration of creativity in action, and is a restorative and inspiring way for teams to connect & reunite, either remotely or from back at the office.
An experience for everyone!
Drawn from Within inspires a renewed appreciation of your own particular way of seeing and celebrates that vision with respect and appreciation.

Find out why Drawn from Within is receiving such heartfelt reviews during this changing moment…
"Brilliant, Engaging, Necessary! 'Drawn from Within' meets the moment - the moment of now and moments yet to be. With all that we are experiencing in the world, I can’t think of a more timely and meaningful experience. This brought our team pure JOY, helped us build connections and unlocked our receptivity to new perspectives and possibilities - exactly what we needed and more! Ben took us on a deeply human creative journey blending his engaging intelligence, artistry, and expertise to help us shine a light on the unseen. It was harmoniously approachable and provocative. If you are on a personal quest to embrace more “being” and less “doing”, this experience will be a beautiful bridge to bring you closer to the self and to others! If you manage a team or business, as a learning and development professional, I highly recommend this as Ben’s way of using the power of pen, paper and prose is a game changer that teams will not only benefit from intellectually and creatively but they'll have fun while doing it...my team loved it! Just say YES - you’ll be happy you did!"
— Desmonique - Director, People Development, Google
"Ben's experience was just what our company needed. We needed a change to inject some calming and creative energy into our team. The meeting delivered on all fronts. From Ben's tenor & VO through the meeting to the activities themselves, the team left feeling refreshed with a more optimistic outlook on our businesses for 2021. I'd certainly recommend Ben's experience to company's and teams looking to do something outside the norm, but applicable to business."
— Aana, VP of Marketing and Customers, Popular Pays, Chicago IL.
"My company was looking for a year end activity to thank the team for a great year in the face of pandemic adversity. Ben hosted an Experience that was top tier entertainment. The attention to detail, energetic hosting, and quality of the instruction was instrumental in the success of this event. The team left the event with FANTASTIC energy that was palpable, even over Zoom. I would highly recommend Ben as a host of any event you'd like to hold for friends, family, or coworkers."
— Mitch, Sun Prairie, WI.
