TEACHING

The most magical state I have experienced is flow. When I’m there, I feel as though I am being guided by something, by divine elusive energies—something that’s not exactly me. The world becomes a playground, full of marvel. I become a child in search of wonder. I wanted to brush against this sensation more often, eager to share it with others. Through experience and reflection, I came up with portals to experience this form of uninterrupted play.

CREATIVE PRACTICE WORKSHOPS are spaces of guided play aimed at working the muscle of creativity. Each bubble of experience has a focus of exploration that nourishes and forges the mind-body connection, inviting participants through specific doorways of uninterrupted play.

It’s a practice in curiosity and patience: with ideas, with habits, with fear. Participants practice jumping into an instinctual idea, finding one anchor to a flow of presence, a stable seat to follow an unplanned ride. This practice will allow them to calm the overwhelm of infinite choices, to more freely access creative possibilities. 

With a distanced, watchful awareness, we separate the act of practicing from the result, and create access to the wells of experience stored in our being. We enter a subliminal state, the source of creativity, the curious inner child, while paying attention to the rise of harmful consciousness (judgment, planning, fear, shame) and slowly changing the rate of its occurrence.
