Currently we are developing the participative project “Tracing the past weaving the future”
Mixing criticality with a shamanism that is emerging anew in our own backyards of western Europe. Offering different people a place for mind and stroll journeying in horizontal choreography and collective making processes where being in spiral constellations enables to face all the particles of the circles now and in not yet. Where the whole is reminiscent of a rhizome with branches in 3D mapping, ritual, poetry, collage, dance, performance, trance, constellation work, ecofeminism and many other fields of action. Drop in here, drop in there, drop in enough times, in enough places and you get a gestalt- a sense of a place and a fictional community that pushes for greater understanding on collectivity, inclusion and expansion of what community can be.

Tracing the past drawing possible futures en spirit walk
gevonden materialen, tekeningen en woorden op papier.
In dit geval creeër ik een map om inzichten en ervaringen met betrekking tot de parallel universum wandelingen tastbaar te maken door ze op papier te plaatsen. Op die manier word de methodologie en het ontstaan van de geavanceerde praktijk spirit walk en drawing the past reading the future zichtbaar.
Deze wandelingen en dit soort van tracing en in kaart brengen van laten me toe in contact te komen met spirit (het onderbewuste) en vanuit die plek keuzes te maken en tot inzicht te komen over de volgende stappen die ik wil zetten.
Het wandelen en het creeëren van maps zijn een kunstpraktijk als een daad van verzet tegen de mainstream zoals rationaliteit, productiviteit, snelheid en lineaire tijd.
Typologie van de praktijk: wandelen, 3D mapping, collage, trance, schilderkunst, mindfulness, psycho-magie, deep listening, sjamanisme, collectiviteit, elasticiteit en horizontaliteit.
Op deze speciefiek map vind je een aantal verschillende wandel praktijken die ik in het verleden heb geëxploreerd tijdens en die me geleid hebben naar mijn eigen tracering praktijk: spirit walk en tracing the past drawing the future.
Portable sjaman bag and handbook for walking in the parallel universe
For walking in the parallel universe I’ve created a shoulder bag containing basic objects the young sjaman needs during his, her, they walks. In addition there is a handbook containing different aproaches to walking and connecting to the spirits inhabitating the parallel universe and an altar as a container for power objects.
Sacred Safe(r) space and string telling ritual
Together we build a safe(r) sacred space. Creating the framework for string telling contemporary ritual. As a result of our string telling ritual we have created a meaningful and protective object as the carrier of our fears, stories and intentions.

Sensory Dinner
The participant is invited to reflect about its personal relationship with food. All senses will be stimulated and activated. Food is served through the senses, fantasy and cuttlery made from skin and bones of different animals we eat.
Power games for fun instead of profit
claiming space for non-normative experiences
We offer a guided experience with a score, playcards and bdsm inspired designed tools and wearables for training consent. Consent is defined as the act of willigly and verbale agreeing to engage in specific conduct. We are inviting the participant to question the role of consensual movement and how they can apply what they have experienced during this training to their daily lives.
