Upcoming events
Drawing Ritual is a celebration of freedom of expression, connection, sensibility, and trust. This is an experience in which people explore drawing and meeting in an embodied way. This ritual involves movement and various drawing processes on paper by pencils, with closed eyes, with both hands and with feet. Furthermore, different parts of the body are used as platforms: the paper is placed on the back, the belly and the head, activating different tactile inputs and impressions.
Here the body and mind relax, and the playfulness, creative flow and the drawing process beyond representation is activated. There is only one rule: no words. It helps to activate other senses and intuition. Furthermore, the absence of words allows people to connect with each other, beyond cultural and social categories. After the ritual there is space to share the experience, with cake and tea. The duration of the workshop is 1.5 hours.
