The Image That Eludes the Conscious Mind

Workshop presented by Tenzin Phuntsog

What is the image that eludes the conscious mind? Often our conscious mind is wrapped in ego, disrupted by life events, and distracted by the challenges we’re navigating. How can we be present and find deeper meanings and layers in our creative work? 

Drawing from dream practices and unconscious exploration, participants will be guided into a lucid, semi-dream state of mind. Please bring still images or references that are part of the work you are trying to process. Through discussion and sharing, we will find the image that is central for you.
