1-4 Antje Ricken and Milly Jackdaw, The Heart of the Story
Free of charge, Rehearsal Room 1
What is it in us that listens to stories? How can stories make us whole?
In this workshop we explore the heart as an organ of perception, using experiential exercises. Technology permitting, we will also get to play with a software program that measures “coherence”, a physiological state of entrainment between heart and brain which corresponds with well-being and healing. Which words, thoughts and images produce this coherence in us? How does the relationship between speaker and listener affect it? What does thinking feel like when it is guided by heart-based perception? And can we generate stories from this tuned-in state of our being?
This will be a fully experiential workshop – please come prepared to participate. Suitable for anyone who likes to tell or listen to stories. No previous experience necessary, just a willingness to explore. (Bring your heart!)
