Body Democracy and Creativity

Exploring how Creativity — as both a Science and an Art — can Reconnect us with the Many Layers of our Being

 

About The Event 

We are composed of countless living systems: millions of bacteria coexisting within us, billions of neurons firing in intricate patterns, and trillions of synapses weaving the fabric of our thoughts and memories. And yet, from this vast biological and energetic complexity, we may be taught to identify with just one unified self — one singular “I” we call home. 

What if that “home” is more like a shared space, a constellation of perspectives, impulses, and intelligences waiting to be acknowledged? 

In this provocative and playful webinar, we’ll challenge the myth of separation. Together, we’ll explore how creativity — as both a science and an art — can reconnect us with the many layers of our being. We’ll touch into the psychedelic perspective as a pathway toward reintegrating parts of ourselves we’ve exiled or ignored. 

Along the way, we’ll ask: What might authenticity look like when the self is no longer fixed? What does freedom mean when we see ourselves as ecosystems, not individuals? And is it possible to reclaim a kind of inner democracy, where competing voices within us don’t need to be silenced/be in on-going conflict, but can be listened to? 

If political freedom feels far away, perhaps psychedelic insight can offer another kind — a liberation of perception, identity, and being. Join us as we explore how not-living-separately might become a creative and radical act of reconnection — with self, with others, and with life itself.
