This group ritual takes place in nature at Planterwald forest and combines expressive arts therapy, improvised movement and active imagination offering the participants new tools for awareness, empowerment and healing.
It is intuitively based on the ritualistic power of a shamanic wall painting from the central Anatolian neolithic civilization Çatalhöyük (ca 9000 BC), one of the oldest towns in human history. The painting is thought to be made by female shamans as part of rituals connecting the human body with the body of the earth, and the living with the dead. Inspired by this ancient wisdom, the work embraces oneness: with the earth, with one's own body and with each other.

The participants are guided to improvise a ritual: engaging with each other and the natural environment, with the help of a series of symbolic objects that they will be provided with. An awareness of real life issues and experiences is expected to be awakened in the process. The ritual is followed by a short session of individual drawing about the experience and a circle session in which each participant is invited to share their experience.

The ritual will take place at Planterwald Forest (about 45 minutes away from Atelier Gardens).
