#Reflective Carving
Discover the meditative art of carving while reflecting on your inner thoughts.
We will carve a small object, sculpture, kitchen tool or whatever comes to your mind.
Sometimes we need creativity to solve problems, reflect on our thoughts or simply spend an hour or two immersed in doing something fun, relaxing, and inspiring without purpose or too much effort. We simply want carving to feel like a gentle brain massage! It is about intuitive carving rather than aiming for design perfection. Connect with the group and have some time to reflect in silence.
Everybody is welcome!!!

→ Join us!#The Idea Catcher
Hand Knitted Collective Web for Ideation and Inspiration.
Do you know that repetitive movement helps your brain to slow down and help you to tap into a state of flow?
We will harness the power of knitting with our arms and using the potential of the repetitive movement of crafting a simple knot to calm our racing brains and allow our thoughts to emerge naturally and effortlessly. The brain does the work and you become the observer of your thoughts. Some of them are worries, others are memories, and others are great IDEAS!
And we will “Catch” them with the IDEA Catcher Net.

#Attention Mapping
Building the Miniature World of Attention
We are not magicians but for sure you can expect some magic to happen.
Did you know that creative mapping enhances your focus and mindfulness?
This workshop focuses on the science of attention harnessing our brain’s embedded ability to create mental maps of our surroundings. In our daily activities, it is important to notice the details that often go unnoticed and how bringing attention to these details can enrich your daily life. Whether it’s the thought flooding your body, a part of the city you love on your way to work, or the jokes of a friend that bring you joy, these details are so important for our daily routines and inherent rhythms.
Through the art of miniature-making, you will materialize your observations and create a tangible representation of your mental maps. This hands-on activity will challenge your patience and precision, helping you build focus resilience and appreciate the power of detailed attention.

#WooD-woo Magic
Crafting objects of care
Do you believe in MAGIC?
We are not magicians but you can expect some magic to happen in our mini-workshops.
Combining embodied practices with ideation, creative building, and prototyping this series of short workshops aims to bring awareness to the underlying processes that accompany our daily decisions and actions. Where our attention goes, our energy flows…or gets wasted!
This workshop will reflect on the notion of CARE, a very important act towards others and ourselves. Starting with embodied awareness you will reflect on how you perceive, receive, and offer “care” and you will craft a special object that reflects your values. This process will stand as a great reminder of what priorities you set in your day and as a kind gesture of not forgetting to nurture yourself! Expect some clarity and intention for your next moves!
