In the upcoming circle—as the (in)famous Berlin winter creeps up on us—we invite you to befriend the darkness. We will wander through the dark and challenge the hierarchy of the senses to awaken our inner compass. Can the dark become a place of resource? How does it arrive and how do we enter it? What lives in the dark and how do we relate to it? Does that relationship transform over time? What does it truly mean to “see”? Reorienting from the outer world to the inner landscape, we will connect within and without, in a brand-new way.
Our traces will be documented, and our journey witnessed. We will pay attention to our guiding stars and new encounters, inviting the unseen to be touched, heard, and felt. We will explore how space shifts and our being reshapes through art.
“In the beginning, there is darkness, the womb from which we emerge.” We will return to the earliest days of our lives, reconnecting with the wonder and awe our bodies knew before vision took hold.
You don't need any art experience to join, come as you are! All bodies are welcome.
🌔 About The Liminal - Expressive Arts Collective
The Liminal Expressive Arts Circle is an opportunity to connect with yourself and like-minded people, engage with different forms of arts, and find your own language through various expressions. We meet twice a month at a beautiful space next to the Spree for imaginative exploration. The collective is run by a group of expressive arts facilitators based in Berlin.
This session is led by:
Yi Jen Chang - Expressive Arts practitioner
Vera Jonas - Expressive Arts facilitator & musician
🌔 Our Approach
The activities offered in this monthly circle are informed by Intermodal Expressive Arts (Paolo Knill). It is an integrative, multimodal approach that utilises a variety of methods including poetry, music, visual arts, drama, sounds, clay, movement, and nature-based methods to help individuals navigate and achieve personal growth, using their own resources.
We begin the session by sharing inquiries and tuning in. The liminal space unfolds during the creative process, as we engage in guided art activities. No habitual thinking - just full presence, imagination, play, and welcoming the unexpected. At the end of the session, we reflect and share what has arrived, along with any messages or stories that need to be told.
🌔 Contribution to the event
We kindly ask every participant for a contribution to cover the rent of the space and materials: Pay from the heart sliding scale: €20/€25/€30+ per session (please pay directly through Eventbrite)
If you can't afford to pay, we offer two free spots for every session. You can request one of these spots by contacting [email protected].
🌔 Cancellation Policy
After payment, contributions are non-refundable. If you are unable to attend, notifying us at least 3 days in advance allows us to transfer your reservation to a future circle.
