Unearthed: A Workshop with Paige Geffen 
March 31

2-4:30 pm pt 
Highland Park  - participants will be emailed the address the Friday before

In this workshop we will venture on an exploration of our physical surroundings in order to unearth the vastness that lies within our inner landscapes. Through this process, we can see where we may be projecting and seeking safety externally, so that we can instead lay bare our naked selves. Our "things" can then transform from symbols of identity to tools for connection. We will learn, through animating our objects, how to be present and embodied in order to integrate our intentions into tangible and tactile practice. 

Through exercises and discussion, we will dive into our relational history with our spaces and objects from childhood until now. I will then guide the group in a visual meditation, which will reveal from the subconscious what is yearning to be expressed in waking life. From there, we will create personalized rituals that will become our home-work.

Participants will leave with somatic rituals to practice at home with, as well as tools to create a portal from the physical to the metaphysical, which will enable greater connection to self, objects/spaces, and others. You will learn to become the bridge between the tangible and the intangible, in order to feel the interconnectedness of everything and to embody this in everyday life.

This will be an intimate, small group of no more than 12 people. 

Join us if you:
need help grounding 
feel either drawn to or disconnected from all things tactile

What to bring with you:
a journal, a pen, and an open mind/heart
