We will propose a subtle, mentally and physically stimulating inquest into internal and external conditions. We have prepared a variety of engaging games and perspective shifting tasks that disturb and refresh viewpoint and offer grounds for renewed understanding, awareness and choice of options. This session is meant as a key-in to tune into the self, and tune oneself to the local environment, to the others present, to the larger biosphere, the planet, the universe….
We will accompany you in transforming this experience into a creative journey, assisting you in an artistic re-elaboration that we will share at the end of the session.
Environmental Frequencies will culminate with a public showing
