HEALING SPACES

How do the places we live and work affect our lives and wellbeing?

How can public places facilitate healing in subtle and surprising ways?

How can spaces themselves become a creative partner and help to bring natural solutions and support?

Healing comes in many forms and one aspect that is sometimes overlooked is how we much are influenced by the spaces around us. Both nature and human-made structures can support, encourage or initiate healing processes, if we learn to listen and collaborate. 

Open to all, this course explores essential and everyday aspects of life that can make a great difference in how we experience the world and our place in it. It is for anyone who wants to feel more connected, at home, at work, or out in the world, and for people who are interested in helping to build and shape a better way of living. 

Animistic design and creative awareness offer simple and effective steps that are easy and exciting to take. We will teach you how to grow your awareness and notice changes and find directions. You will also discover how to use your senses when building and developing relationships to various spaces around you. 

The sessions explore what Healing Spaces are and can be, and show you a range of ways to work with them. We will explain how animistic design works, and how to come into partnership with the world. We will look at organic change and co-creative processes, and unearth solutions that may be already naturally present. As we pay attention to and build contact with the spaces that we spend time in, new ideas and inspiration emerge. Working together in this way transforms how we engage with the world and how we too can become part of a healing space.  

We will learn more about how to invite and expand healing opportunities, both in our own home, at work and in public spaces. Even when we feel that we might not be able to affect a place or create solutions, there are always further options to explore. By focusing on the relationship with the space itself and what it suggests, we can uncover new perspectives and possibilities to bring support, power and wisdom. 

When we open to the appreciation of the areas we live in and come into deeper relations with them, we can create opportunities for communal change and connection, and bring healing in surprising and powerful ways. Sometimes it may even be the space itself that needs healing, and in such cases we can let it lead to show us what is required and what steps we can take to help this happen. By nurturing connection we can help to share healing power in many different ways.

All sessions are interactive with creative exercises, sharing and reflection. There will be guided meditations and focused writing or drawing exercises, with time to ask questions and imagine possibilities.You will receive exercises to do on your own in between sessions, to bring the work home and personally experience the many possibilities. Towards the end of the course we will look at next steps for how to continue and how to encourage our our visions and wishes. This course is open to all, no previous experience is needed.
