POST DOCUMENTA - VISION QUEST
VISION QUEST: Lecture
In Summer 2021 I teached at Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig.
VISION QUEST: Workshop by Mylasher
The forest, with its strange effects, lies outside the inhabited zones of consciousness. Many spiritual and psychological journeys begin with entering the “Dark Forest” of the psychic wilderness. A peculiar radiance emanates from the forest; one ventures into the forest as if into a daydream and loses one’s orientation until disappearing, encountering one’s own shadow demons. The forest is a place of solitude, confusion, healing and regression, sublimity and isolation, uninfluenced growth and continued decay.
The workshop can be seen as a school of experience and perception. The focus is on simply being, thinking with the hands. Be in a magic system, the fantastic is what is real.
Topics: Harkening, walks, journeys into the subconscious, shamanic & psychological excursions, places of power, shelter, bodywork, ritual, working with clay, building an earthen oven.
