We explore:

  • the wisdom that comes with being together 

  • the inherent ways natural systems self organize

  • expanding capacity through pleasure and enjoyment 

  • creative experiences to facilitate and reiterate nervous system health

  • reiterating patterns and the biology of fractals

  • our individual and collective Organic Intelligence 

You will discover what experiences for you are self organizing and learn how to support them through the experience of reiterative practice.

"...a kind slowing down, the constant reminder that all is welcome, and the invitation to be in alive reciprocal relationship with the materials/things around us. It’s different than a passive meditation or a didactic teaching. It’s like a living meditation, a metaphoric invitation to enter into the dance of creation as a dancer not a separate audience member." -Joanna Groebel, MA, R-DMT, LPC​

“It was lovely taking such a long time to get into ‘The art project’ and how my concept changed of what ‘art project’ and life is about.” -Kate

"Everything depends upon the quality of attention that we can apply to our perceptions. The humblest expressions can be sources of insight and wonder." -Shaun McNiff, Trust the Process 

“In the kitchen, in the street, in the forest, in the sea, in my cells and in the cache of breaths I cannot count—there is something holding all of this together, all of us together. There is an alive order that we are within and that is within us.” -Nora Bateson
