Melbourne Workshop – Beyond Pandora’s Box

 

What if you allow your curiosity to take a peak into your own box?

What if you let go of the rule books and paint outside the lines?

What if your creative instincts burst forth to show you a new path?

 

We explore inquisitiveness, courage, love, and what is beyond.

We have so much inherit genetic potential that lie dormant and are waiting to be uncovered and harnessed to create more life and new possibilities

The Invitation

Lifting the lid, driven by your curiosity, thirst for knowledge, hunger for freedom, desire for love.

You courageously open the box

A box you had been told not to open

A box that is forbidden

You have always held the key to unlock its potential. The moment you open this box, you unleash the unknown. All the hidden dramas, the mess, the pains, the sadness, hope.

When you excavate through these, you find the hidden gems within.

Vitality

Connectedness

Creativity

Sexuality

Transcendence

 

Pandora was prepared to be brave, prepared to break the rules – a classic rebel. Humankind has rebelled throughout history with the knowing that there’s something more – because we care, we love life. Longing for more. Thirst, Hunger, Desire.

Indulge in your genetic potentials – to not be defined by rules/structures/expectations. To understand that they can dissolve and be permeable.

You have capacity to dissolve, expand and create
