Expressive Arts Circle: Dance of Grief

Dance of grief: a quest for meaning and imagination

Grieving is a deeply personal journey, yet we all experience it. Each individual navigates it uniquely, with different intensities, durations, and coping approaches, but we all hold profound insight in response to this shared experience.

In our upcoming circle, we invite you to connect and engage in dialogue with the wisdom of your body. As movement unfolds, we empower the creative body to articulate its narrative, sculpting a new future guided by the boundless power of imagination.

What does grief mean to you? What shape does it take? Can grief transform into a vessel for change, inviting imagination and new meanings in life? How can we find balance and support while moving with and through grief?

Join us in this exploration through art, movement, and ritual. No art or dance experience is required; come as you are. All bodies are welcome!

About The Liminal - Expressive Arts Collective

The Liminal Expressive Arts Circle is an opportunity to connect with yourself and like-minded people, engage with different forms of arts, and find your own language through various expressions. We meet every month at a beautiful space next to the Spree for imaginative exploration. The collective is run by a group of expressive arts facilitators based in Berlin.

This session is led by:

Yi Jen Chang - Expressive Arts facilitator

Elise Lein - Expressive Arts facilitator & dancer

Our approach

The activities offered in this monthly circle are informed by Intermodal Expressive Arts (Paolo Knill). It is an integrative, multimodal approach that utilises a variety of methods including poetry, music, visual arts, drama, sounds, clay, movement, and nature-based methods to help individuals navigate and achieve personal growth, using their own resources.

We begin the session by sharing inquiries and tuning in. The liminal space unfolds during the creative process, as we engage in guided art activities. No habitual thinking - just full presence, imagination, play, and welcoming the unexpected. At the end of the session, we reflect and share what has arrived, along with any messages or stories that need to be told.
