Creative workshops for teams & communities in Berlin
Not just another team building
What I bring to the room
Hi, I'm Zoé, a certified expressive arts facilitator and founder of the sozo space. After more than ten years working in marketing and communications, most recently leading a team in Berlin's tech and startup scene, I know how easy it is for work to become all about getting things done. I also know how difficult it can be to catch your breath in an environment where overwhelm and burnout are common.
Drawing on my years of experience in demanding workplaces and my background in psychology, writing and expressive arts, I now design creative sessions for teams, leaders and communities: spaces to step outside the ordinary, connect in new ways, and explore what becomes possible when we approach ideas differently.
What is expressive arts?
Expressive arts is a creative practice that uses simple prompts across visual arts, writing, clay, movement and other forms of expression as a way to connect and explore. You don't need to be good at art, and there's no right way to create. The focus is on process and curiosity, not skill or outcome. Each session is shaped around the group, with time to create, share and reflect together.

Connect & Create
team building workshop
Deeper connection, created together
A creative team experience designed to help colleagues connect beyond their usual roles and routines. Through guided expressive arts, using drawing, painting, clay, writing, movement or other creative forms, what each person creates becomes a starting point for conversation, curiosity and seeing one another in a new light.
A thoughtful alternative to traditional team building, shaped around your team's size, context and goals.Good for: team days, kick-offs, leadership groups
2 hrs from €500 -
Explore & Expand
creativity and innovation workshop
Where ideas start moving
For teams who run on ideas and want to stretch beyond what feels familiar. Through playful, guided creative exercises, participants are invited to make, experiment and explore ideas before judging them. A space to loosen fixed thinking, approach challenges from different angles and make room for possibilities that might not emerge in a typical team session.
Tailored to your needs and shaped around your team.Good for: planning and strategy sessions, innovation days, cross-functional and creative teams
2 hrs from €500 -
Make & Mingle
team social event
A creative way to spend time together
A relaxed, hands-on team experience for people who want to try something new. Instead of the usual bar or mini golf, we play with materials, get a little messy and do something many of us haven't done in years. Drawing with crayons, collage, clay or other creative activities offer an easy way to have fun and spend time together. No pressure to make something perfect, and a little curiosity is all that's needed. Choose the focus and shape the experience, from informal socials to company celebrations.Good for: team socials, summer and Christmas parties, celebrations and quarter closes
2 hrs from €450

Retreat & Reflect
offsite, half or full day
A different way to step away
A bespoke expressive arts experience designed around your team's goals, people and context. Whether you're navigating a new chapter, reflecting on a period of change or making space for what comes next, we shape the session with you. Drawing, painting, clay, writing, movement and other creative approaches can be woven into your structure and plan for the day, with a considered balance of individual exploration, shared reflection and time together. Add any 2-hour experience to your offsite programme, or plan a half or full day around the questions and themes that matter to your team.Good for: company retreats and away days, end-of-year reflection, new chapters and big changes
half day from €1,200
-
Rest & Reset
monthly wellbeing programme
A rhythm for your community
A recurring expressive arts space for your team or community, a place to pause and catch your breath. Once a month, participants come together to explore a new theme through visual arts, reflective writing and other gentle practices, with time to make and share. Each session has its own focus, while the regular rhythm makes creative connection an ongoing part of working life rather than a one-off event.
Programmes can be adapted to your organisation, from a small team to a wider workplace or coworking community.Good for: wellbeing programmes, coworking communities, company-wide sessions
90 mins from €350 per month -

FAQs
-
That's true for most teams (and people), and it's exactly who these sessions are designed for. The prompts are simple, there's nothing to get right, and what matters is what people notice rather than how it looks. Sharing happens in simple, structured ways, and nobody is put on the spot
-
Sessions are held in English. Many Berlin teams already work in English, and because the activities rely more on making than talking, people with different levels of English can take part comfortably.
-
Yes. Connect & Create, Explore & Expand and Retreat & Reflect all work well for leadership groups, whether you're forming a new leadership team, preparing for a strategy cycle or planning an offsite. Having led a team myself, I know the pressures that come with the role.
-
Yes. Make & Mingle works especially well for a Christmas party (Weihnachtsfeier) or company outing (Betriebsausflug), and any of the experiences can be shaped around a celebration. For December dates, it's worth getting in touch early.
-
Yes, online sessions are available on request for remote and hybrid teams, adapted so everyone can take part from their own space with simple materials.
-
Ideally three weeks or more, which gives us time to shape the session together. Shorter notice is often possible too, so it's always worth asking. If plans change, sessions can be rescheduled, and full cancellation terms come with your quote.
