The Collective Imaginaries is a play amongst images and poetics of inner worlds. It is a moment of becoming homo narrans, curandera, poet. Storytellers, healers, poets. Becoming Carers of the World without, by caring for the World within. Nourishing the World within, With the Winds and Waves, of the World Without.

The Collective Imaginaries stimulate Symbolic expression using visual, poetic and embodied art forms. Inspired by Indigenous traditions of Narrative Medicine, the ateliers hope to encourage the visibility of Narrative Medicine as a much needed system of Humane and Creative care, for the Visibly and Invisibly Wounded.

In this particular atelier, participants will be accompanied in exploring their “History of Difference” through Symbolical storytelling and Positive Imagination. The creative sessions are interwoven with Practices of Care facilitated by healers, including Somatic Dance and Music Therapy.
