Mind(less) Creativity: Drawing the Senses
Art Meets Absurdity ;)
Step into a playful, multisensory journey where art, mind(less)ness, and design converge.
In this guided life drawing experience, you'll explore creativity through movement, breath, sound, and touch. Each exercise invites you to loosen the mind, awaken the body, and connect with your intuitive flow.
Draw from a live model and experiment with expressive techniques, all while befriending an unexpected companion who becomes part of your creative ritual - a tool for drawing and tactile play.
Through immersive soundscapes, subtle scents, and sensory prompts, we’ll explore how perception shapes imagination, presence, and joy.
This is an invitation to let go of perfection, embrace the absurd, and rediscover the art of feeling fully alive.
