The Conscious Creative

We love devising and supporting creative projects that promote the expansion of consciousness and living presently.

We also deliver bespoke, interactive training and talks throughout the UK and beyond. These focus on helping people to live presently, reduce stress, access their creativity, change their relationship to limiting thoughts, increase confidence, productivity and effectiveness, and achieve a healthy life/work balance.

These workshops are delivered in a variety of settings including corporate, charities and universities, but we also offer workshops for drama schools and creative institutions (such as LAMDA, LIPA & Tring Park) specifically designed to help actors, performers and creative artists deal with the pressures of their industry. Surviving and thriving being the aim!

One such programme we’re proud to have been involved with throughout it’s duration has been delivering training at Cambridge University’s ICE to The Queen's Young Leaders.

These exceptional young people from across the Commonwealth were celebrated for taking the lead in their communities and using their skills to transform people’s lives. They received an award from the Queen and met the Prime Minister before attending the 'Leading Change' programme at Cambridge with experts in their field and we were invited to open the programme and deliver workshops, as well as providing ongoing online support. You can learn more about The Queen’s Young Leader’s here. This in turn led us to be invited to work with the AOG (Acts of Gratitude), an NGO in Kigali, Rwanda - Another high light for us.

Heading Up The Team

Micci Gorrod Founder and Artistic Director of The Conscious Creative.

As well as having worked as a professional actress, Micci is also a qualified Mind Detox practitioner, Ascension meditation teacher and was previously a tutor in meditation and wellbeing at the University of Cambridge’s Institute of Continuing Education. She originally graduated with a 1st class BA Hons Degree from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts where she was awarded the Philip Holt Trust award for her consistent support towards members of staff and fellow peers.  Micci also holds a Licentiate Teacher’s Diploma in Speech and Drama from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and in 2016 she was nominated as a modern-day Herts Heroine.

Oh and as well as all things conscious and creative she also loves trampolining to cheesy music, singing, writing, travelling and adventure sports (preferably on water or in the air).

Lee Johnson Educational Director

Lee has been a professional actor and presenter since 2001. He is regularly filming commercials, corporate shoots and compering at Formula 1 races worldwide. As well as creating music videos and training videos, he also loves producing comedy shows which he pitches to TV channels. Throughout his career, Lee has seen the struggles performers go through and has experienced many of them himself. Now as an Ascension meditation teacher and workshop leader, he is able to use his experience to help others enjoy their profession and get the most out of their talent, whilst riding the rollercoaster of change and uncertainty.
