TRANCE STATES FOR CREATIVITY
Can meditation, hypnosis, breathwork or altered states of consciousness be expressed in language or image?
In this workshop guided by Tiohtià:ke/Montréal poet, novelist and multimedia artist Tawhida Tanya Evanson, we will explore and engage in contemplative practices to attempt entry into liminal space and capture its epiphanies in word or drawing.
What is a trance state?
Altered states of consciousness where the thinking mind quiets down and intuitive, non-linear forms of awareness take over. These states can feel like being in "the zone," deeply immersed in a flow where time slows down, ideas come effortlessly, and creative expression feels guided by something beyond the rational mind.
