Imagination & Somatics

An ASTER Conversation exploring the dynamic & generative relationship between the imagination & somatics.

Monday July 17th 2023
6:00 – 7:15pm
On Zoom

What is the relationship between imagination and somatics? How does it function in your life and/or practice? Imagination is part of our embodied design and key to our capacity for novelty, creativity, problem solving and agility among many things. Let’s pool our lived experience and grow our collective understanding of this core life skill.

To get things rolling, the ASTER crew will begin with a discussion and experiential practice. Then it’s your turn in small groups to share your experience and ideas. Finally, we’ll dive into a collective conversation about the power and significance of imagination in your personal and professional practices.

Here are some of the ways we think about and play with imagination. Before we gather we wanted to offer these sparks/thoughts/prompts:

Imagination as pathway to intangible things inside & outside
Imagination for crafting embodied awareness
Imagination for experimentation
Imagination for activating & manifesting somatic experience

We look forward to having an ASTER Conversation with you.
