Sense Lab: The Collective Unconscious
A Collaboration with Nica Celly
Jun 01, 2024 | Cuatro Vientos, Todos Santos, BCS México
In this second Sense Lab, we are curious to discover what occurs when we connect and transmit collective communication through meditation, movement, and writing. What deeper ways will we connect? Where and how will we find each other in the collective unconscious, in the liminal space that unites us? Three layers inward, we will relax, slow down, and witness.
The workshop will begin with a sensorial meditation and movement practice with Nica to uncover what resides beyond our initial intentions. Then we will take these discoveries into the writing realm to unfold messages from our subconscious with Amanda. Diving deeper, a subsequent meditation and writing exercise will invite forth what is taking place in our collective unconscious. This is an opportunity to safely move into the deeper layers together, writing our way into connection with the innermost tributaries of our mind.
Nica Celly is an artist and designer who connects disparate practices to build a common understanding and equanimity across disciplines, from ways of working to contemplative practices. She has been studying and practicing yoga (tantric Shaivist lineage, 500+ certified, nearly 1008 complete) for over 25 years, holds an MFA in textiles from California College of the Arts, and works across the fields of contemplative studies and mid-life established practitioners to connect mastery of their craft to emerging audiences.
