Shaping the Landscapes of Belonging: an interdisciplinary expressive arts workshop for personal healing, community understanding, and connection
Irish poet and philosopher John O’Donohue tells us, “The hunger to belong is at the heart of our nature. Cut off from others, we atrophy and turn in on ourselves. The sense of belonging is the natural balance of our lives… Our hunger to belong is the longing to find a bridge across the distance from isolation to intimacy.”
This 2-hour interdisciplinary expressive arts online workshop runs as a counterpart experience to the earlier in-person workshop. The online gathering will contain a longer learning or teaching component and an abbreviated experiential component. The teaching portion of the gathering will be recorded, but the experiential part will be private.
Themes for this workshop will explore forms of artistic expression and what ‘belonging’ means to us as individuals, as part of the human collective, and as part of Nature. Using movement, voice, poetry, and storytelling, we will move out of ‘thinking about’ and into ‘moving with, through, and in the world’. The workshop is open to everyone 16+, regardless of artistic experience, gender, spirituality, sexual orientation, nationality, or heritage. We work in a spirit of peace and non-violence, with acceptance and care for one another.
The pricing is structured to invite the possibility for everyone to participate.
Sliding scale donation starting at 5 Euros for the Under-Resourced, up to 15 or 20 Euros suggested for the reasonably well-resourced. Please keep in mind that Hipsy takes a fee of 80¢ per ticket; we appreciate it if you can add this to your donated price so that we receive the full amount of your intended donation.
NEXAA is a non-profit arts and education organization that depends on membership fees, donations, and grants to be able to fulfill our mission. We welcome any contributions beyond these levels. If someone cannot meet even the lowest level contribution, we encourage you to contact us to discuss the possibilities to be able to participate.
*Registered NEXAA members receive the appropriate discount for whichever membership level applies.
The Zoom link will be provided to the registered participants on the morning of the event.
This workshop will be led by expressive arts psychotherapist and practitioner Suzan Lemont and expressive arts facilitator and poet Hannah Behrens. Together, they bring a wealth of insight and knowledge to the process of discovering what is at play in the heart, the head, and the landscape, and helping to put it all in context while creating a warm, supportive, and stimulating environment or container where one can step out of the everyday world for just a little while.
