Meeting the Trickster Within

Taking trickster tales and shapeshifter myths from around the world as a point of departure, the workshop explores the archetype of the boundary-crosser, the rule breaker, the holder of opposites, their role in the creative process and our relationship with her/him/them within ourselves. As a shapeshifter, dream weaver, mythmaker, healer and bringer of chaos and new visions, the trickster and shapeshifter is a powerful and mysterious presence not only in ancient mythology, but also in our creative process. Through movement, embodiment, painting, sculpting and writing, participants will connect with mythological images and stories, but also with their inner trickster.
