We invite you to join us to explore ways of bringing the unconscious to the surface through artistic expressions and sensory experiences. Doing so, we might collectively make sense of challenges, thrive in uncertainty, and maintain curiosity. As people interested in groups and organizations, everyone is invited to share thoughts and experiences and to reflect upon the work we will create together. No prior experience with the theme is necessary.
