THE SEVEN WHIMSIES
OF THE WORLD
(a course on true, epic, spellbinding creativity)
LAUNCHING MAY
PATRICK JOHNS
"With courses I usually have to get through them and it's a chore but this...didn't feel like a course at all. It was like a storybook or videogame. Like I didn't want the experience to end!"
KANGANA PATEL
"I used to think I wasn't creative enough. This course made me realise creativity isn't just the celebrated VAN GOGHS of the world - it's deep inside of me."
THIS COURSE WON'T MAKE YOU A MORE CREATIVE COPYWRITER
This course is not really about copywriting, at all.
It’s about reconnecting with the part of you that made it possible to write in the first place.
The part of you that is responsible for the creation of anything and everything.
The part of you that looks at a gorgeous golden draping sunset and feels inspired to don a poem. Or a painting. Or even to just fill up with a delicious sense of AWE.
It’s a course on how YOU can bring more creative moments into your life - your everyday, ordinary life.
Because being more creative isn’t about learning how to channel Picasso or Mozart or the POETIC RENAISSANCE GREATS.

YOUR MODULES...
explained
Modules sound so fucking boring. Stiff, even. And this course is anything but.
So we’ve given it a new name…
YOUR SEVEN WHIMSIES
Because in this course, you will go on a journey across seven core creative concepts. Concepts that embody the art of whimsy, right down to the very core.
And your seven whimsies will include...
ART
A module on the art you don't see coming. On the art that is unexpected. On the art that is not hanging in the Louvre. In the art you can bring into your everyday life.

this module includes lessons on;
-
the art of graffiti (& how to use the world of TAGS to make your signature truly unique)
-
the art of doodling (& how to use it to unlock your creativity)
-
the art of DJ'ing (& how to create a soundtrack that inspires you to CREATE)
WRITING
A module on writing. NOT COPYWRITING. Just writing. The pure, creative kind. The inner writer in you that got lost in the thralls of trying to find a job. Lost in the thralls of writing with purpose. A module on the sweet sweet serenity of writing...just because.
Writing with... no outcome.
this module includes lessons on;
-
the art of amalgamation (looking at writing through the lens of OTHER authors - taking on their style)
-
the art of literary mapping (exploring the things that make you up as a writer- all the parts)
-
the art of marginalia (& how to create a deeper reading process by writing in the margins)
NATURE
A module on nature. The original piece of art. The original inspiration to everything that was ever created. This is a module on discovering art right outside your window. In the row of daisies. The Mona Lisa-esqe beauty in the draping sun. In planting your bare feet on grass and feeling.
this module includes lessons on;
-
the art of your landscape (exploring the SCAPE you live in- city, rural, beach - and the beauty you can find in it)
-
the art in the garden (a look at the artwork that has inspired poets and painters and writers since they could put pen to paper)
-
the art of AWE (& how it can inspire you to be more creative - you'll be creating your very own schedule of bliss)
THE SENSES
A module that will take you on a journey of sight, taste, and smell...a journey into all your senses and how you can tap into them everyday; to be more creative. Because YOUR VESSEL - YOUR BODY - is what you use to create. Fingertips. Hands. Arms.
this module includes lessons on;
-
the art of ritualisation (exploring how you can take one everyday moment in your everyday life and slow it down - to appreciate fullness)
-
the art of asking beautiful questions (a look at what drives curiosity and how you can ask more questions)
-
the art of COFFEE (a sensory journey through every writer's most well known beverage...coffee. You will be invited to create and sip and savour)
MAKE BELIEVE + MAGIC
You are your most creative when you are a child - fearless, doing without thinking, IMAGINATION UNBOUND. This module is a step back in time to reconnect to your inner kid who got lost to society's 'adulting.' A module for you to dabble in make believe once more. And magic. Real magic.
this module includes lessons on;
-
the art of childlike play (taking a trip down memory lane; to all the toys and things you used to play with when you were little. And how you can use them now to be more creative)
-
the art of unreality (a look at the power of belief - of pure, unadulterated imagination. Through the lens of vampires. Mermaids. And mythic)
-
the art of MAGIC (spell-making and Wiccan ritual is inherently creative to the core. Get guided through making your own creativity spell with the help of a real Witch)
CULTURE
People all over the world have defined their own versions of creativity. It's only a shame that we don't get to experience them. But in this module...you will. You'll get guided through three different cultures - at the source - and how they draw on creativity.
this module includes lessons on;
-
the art of Filipino creativity (creativity through the lens of Filipino culture)
-
the art of Trinidad creativity (creativity through the lens of Trinidad culture)
-
the art of El Salvadorian creativity (creativity through the lens of El Salvador's culture)

HOW DOES THE COURSE WORK?
This course is totally self-paced, first of all ;)
Within each of the seven whimsies, you will be taken on a journey of exploring that medium…deeply. And often through the lens of the unexpected.
Each whimsy within the course is deeply reflective - you will be pushed to slow down and ritualise even the smallest moments. And you’ll be pushed to ask more beautiful questions.
At the end of each lesson, you will be tasked with an ADVENTURE (read; homework). This ‘homework’ is there to help you take what you’ve just explored and apply it to your own life.
what does this
course sound like?
We asked people who've taken the course to send us music and sounds that the course reminds them of.
That if the COURSE were a piece of music, what would it sound like? What would its tune be like?
We thought this would be a fun way of having you feel the 'vibe' of this beauty ;)
