This Valentine’s Day, connect with yourself or someone special (a partner, best friend, flatmate—or simply yourself) in our special edition of “Self-exploration through experimental portrait drawing and movement.”
Whether you come alone or with someone close, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore self-awareness, relationships, and identity through creative and sensory exploration.
Combining Tai Chi/Qigong-inspired exercises, meditation, and experimental portrait drawing, this immersive experience invites you to deepen your connection with your own body and reflect on how we see ourselves and others. In a supportive and inclusive space, participants will explore both individual and shared perspectives, cultivating empathy, introspection, and meaningful connections.
Whether you're looking to strengthen a romantic relationship, deepen a friendship, or simply enjoy a creative day by your self, this Valentine's Day edition workshop offers a unique opportunity to celebrate love, creativity and self-discovery in a supportive and inclusive environment.
What to Expect:
❤️ Body Awareness and Shared Space:
We will start with a short Tai Chi/Chigong session to focus on our personal body awareness and space awareness, followed by mindful movement and shared group exercises.
❤️ Whispering Presence and Partner Portraits:
Through meditation, reflect on where or when you feel most connected — whether with yourself or with your special one. You’ll then take turns drawing experimental portraits of one another, inspired by this introspection.
❤️ Life-Size Portraits:
How do you see yourself, and how do others see you? What's our ideal self? If you come with someone, you’ll explore these questions together by creating life-size portraits that reflect your bond. If you come alone, you’ll dive deeper into your self-perception, creating a portrait that embodies the several dimensions of your self-awareness.
All Levels Welcome. No prior knowledge of drawing or movement techniques is required—the focus is on shared discovery, connection, and experience, not technical ability.
