Workshops
Teaching that respects lived experience and sees students as active participants in their learning
Poetry, Consciousness, Birth
This workshop is open to anyone who is interested in processes of transformation that set the stage for moments of acute insight. In this two-hour workshop, in collaboration with artist/musician Cole Highnam, we will explore how physiological changes become pathways to access altered states. Along the way, we will chart parallels in the manner in which undisturbed childbirth and acts of creation have been co-opted by mechanistic and capitalistic worldviews emphasizing production over process. In the spirit of maintaining our creative agency, we summon the cosmic from the quotidian. Proprioceptively, we come into our bodies as they are, and through verbal, aural and visual cues, venture along an inward trajectory that brings us deep into our innate poetic capacity, for we are natura naturans: “nature doing what nature does.​"
