Everyone has untapped creative and leadership genius—but the weight of daily stress, from work to family to global uncertainty, can block our access to it. In this one-hour masterclass, award-winning singer/songwriter and founder of Imagiin Lab, Domanique Grant, partners with SaskMusic to present Creative Visioning—a transformative wellness and professional development experience.

Creative Visioning is a signature session that combines visualization, sound design, and nervous system regulation techniques to help participants move beyond mental blocks, fear, and perceived limitations, and access their career breakthrough.

Through inspiring, immersive and centring experience, attendees won’t just imagine success, they’ll mentally step into the rooms, boardrooms, and stages that define career breakthroughs. This session rewires limiting beliefs and activates a deeper sense of clarity and confidence. It also helps to unblock creativity, ideas and a sense of purpose.

Developed by Domanique Grant and used by CEOs, elite athletes, and award-winning artists, The Imagiin Lab, has been praised on international stages in Germany, the UK and Canada. Drawing from her own journey, Domanique shares how, in the absence of accessible mental health resources, she became her own scientist—reprogramming fear, anxiety, and limiting beliefs linked to being neurodivergent. This session reinforces a transformative idea: we don’t have to overcome our challenges to move forward—we can move forward with them.

Whether you’re a creative, administrator, CEO, entrepreneur, or emerging leader, this session delivers accessible tools to elevate both your inner and outer performance.

Participants will explore:

• Creative visioning and mental priming techniques for daily creative flow and peak performance
• Mind mapping to clarify your vision, goals, and next career steps
• Breaking out of toxic productivity culture and designing your "24 hours" with strategies that work for you
• Reframing neurodiversity, cultural, and gender-based differences as drivers of innovation
• Somatic tools to reset and regulate your nervous system throughout the workday

ABOUT THE IMAGIIN LAB

Imagiin Lab is a female-founded Canadian social enterprise redefining professional development through creativity, brain science, and mental wellness. Founded by award winning artist and founder Domanique Grant, we design transformative professional development programs and workshops for all, with intentional programming for neurodiverse, creatives and equity deserving leaders.

The Imagiin Lab supports conferences, festivals and organizations with training, masterclasses and immersive presentations

Domanique Grant Biography: 

Domanique Grant is an award-winning artist, global keynote speaker, and the founder of The Imagine Summit — one of Canada’s leading professional development and wellness conferences for creatives, youth, and changemakers.

Recognized by Women’s Executive Network as one of Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women, and a recipient of the Black Canadian Humanitarian Award, Domanique’s career bridges creativity, business, and social impact. Her work has been featured by BBC Radio London, Financial Times, Microsoft, CTV National, Global News, and the 68th Grammy Awards through RBCxMusic.

In response to the global youth mental health crisis, Domanique founded The Imagine Summit, pioneering a new model for creative leadership grounded in brain science and professional development. Through neuroscience-backed techniques, The summit brings together global thought leaders to equip creatives, youth and founders — with training to reprogram fear, trauma, and anxiety—empowering them to build sustainable creative and economic futures.

Domanique’s music has been a driving force behind some of the most significant social movements of our time. Her mental health anthem, Till We See the Sun, was hailed by CTV National as “the anthem of our time.”

Through her social enterprise, Grant Creativity Inc., she delivers wellness-driven leadership programs that fuse entertainment and brain science — empowering both underserved communities and Fortune 500 companies.

A thought leader in mental health, women’s empowerment, education, and art for social change, Domanique is redefining how artists create global impact

SaskMusic seeking expressions of interest for Black Advisory Committee

SaskMusic is currently seeking interested individuals to participate on our new Black Music Advisory Committee (BMAC), dedicated to uplifting and empowering the Black/African music community in Saskatchewan.

The committee will play a crucial role in guiding, advising, and supporting SaskMusic as we continue to better understand and meet the needs of Black (or those of African descent) artists, creators, and professionals in the province’s music industry.

Specifically, the committee will be consulted on various strategies, initiatives, and programs that ensure meaningful inclusion, representation, and support for Black musicians and artists in Saskatchewan, in an advisory capacity.

If you are motivated to contribute your voice and help direct our organization toward a more equitable future, please visit the form to learn more or to apply!

Artist Tip #4: Promote Your Shows!

You can debate us on this — but artists should also be promoting their shows (not just the venue/presenter).

Let people know where they can hear you, and encourage them to support venues and festivals that present live music!

Presenters take note when you put no effort into promoting shows they've booked you for.

Don't forget to share these tips widely with all the musicians you know! Help spread the word with #saskmusictips!
