Reconnecting to natural rhythms, the tides, light and darkness. Realising a visceral quality of time, lost to us in minutes, hours and years. We move from linear time to cyclical time, an embodied memory unfolding…… 

Imaginal spaces/ in the context of psychology and creative practices, refer to mental realms where imagination and imagery flourish, often involving symbolic representation and collective imagery. 

Performative spaces/ are environments designed to actively shape and influence human behaviour and experience,  through interaction, performance,  the interplay of social and spatial elements. They go beyond mere physical structures, becoming dynamic arenas where actions, interactions, and perceptions are shaped and reshaped. 

We sit in the tension points between past and future, listening and engaging with multiple ways of knowing and doing. Exploring pathways, and creating experiences, that translate into personal meaning, ways of connecting people more deeply with the environments they live in and with each other…
