"We do everything so automatically that we have forgotten the poignancy of smell, of physical anguish, of tactile sensations of all kinds." ~ Lygia Clark

Testimonials:
"Before going through the Sensorial Visualities course I was feeling tense, stuck, and most of all: disembodied. Through the work together I let go of my anxiety of being judged by others, noticing instead my own internalized judgements of myself. I let go of the idea of "pushing" and instead adopted the notion of "holding" space. I also let go of my barriers around emotions and expression. It was transformative, meditative, formative."
~ Chris (Sensorial Visualities Course, Summer 2023)
"Through this course and the connections I made I significantly reduced my social anxiety. I also feel that I largely overcame any sense of disconnection I felt to myself and/or the world around me. The most impactful realization I had during this class considered just how deeply I could feel the reverberation of sound in my body. The degree to which I felt the humming of others was something I would have never expected and left me feeling very uplifted. Sensorial Visualities each week allowed to explore both myself and the world around me. It gave me a strong sense of community and taught me many excellent strategies to ground myself. It came together beautifully in the final performance and exhibition. It was an excellent experience."
~ Leo (Sensorial Visualities Course, Summer 2023)
I would say I was feeling pretty lost with where I was/where I wanted to go. Not really sure about a direction and was just open to new things. Sensorial Visualities gave me a sense of community and embodiment especially being able to be a part of a journey together while witnessing at the same time. It was life changing <3 I felt a real connection with the things we’re learning and not only in a theoretical sense but the sensations we explored and learned together felt like we were teaching our mind through our bodies and that felt very revolutionary for me."
