WHAT FUTURE WILL WE DREAM WHEN WE DREAM WITH PLANTS?

10 Day Virtual dream residency for artists, practitioners and visionaries to dream with plants and cultivate a new vision for the future.

THROUGH ENGAGING WITH EMERGING POTENTIALS FROM THE LIMINAL REALMS, WE WILL SPECULATE, DEBATE AND FORMULATE RADICAL NEW APPROACHES TO BEING BEYOND HUMAN.

‍Dream incubation to dream together a vision of a new future with more-than-human intelligence, in order to cultivate transpersonal solutions to social and ecological regeneration that can be transferred to the waking realms.

A core group of facilitators and artists will be holding the dream incubator on the island of Kos, Greece. This call is for residents who will join us remotely in the liminal realms and via video call and messaging platforms. Sessions will be recorded, so can be accessed at any time.

‍PROCESS

• Cultivate a dreaming practice

• Investigate creative, societal and ecological blocks

• Explore and transform these through somatics, alchemical psychology, dreaming and play.

• Apply this method to our position as a group within the collective, and in response to the question: What Future Will We Dream When We Dream With Plants?

• Address global socio-political and ecological stressors to look to ways in which we can reposition ourselves in society and community, to dream together a new vision of the future: one co-created with plants and more-than-human intelligence.

• Experiment with influencing waking life and implementing real world solutions through dreaming and intention.

• Dedicate time to your own creative projects or be part of an immersive body of work envisioning the future we dream with plants
