Refusing to be content with one’s own barriers, let’s join this fascinating art-based methods course. Empty space, empty hands, mind free of goals – let the play begin. For only where there is nothing, something new can arise. Dare to take a path of self-discovery, self-understanding and self-acceptance; for many a path of self-realization as well.
Uncovering and unlocking creativity, be it in the artistic or scientific sphere, opening up a number of different areas of investigation and possible paths and goals. Let us try what it means to go out with your voice, allow the body to create, and reach a creative state when “the ear is amazed at what the mouth is saying”.
