Join Delfina resident Victoria Scott and curator and writer Michelle Kasprzak for a conversation and introduction to explore practices of Shamanism, digital technologies and VR (Virtual Reality) as similar portals into alternative immersive environments.
Shamanism is one of the oldest spiritual practices, and still widely used as an accessible technology to journey into non-ordinary states of consciousness to receive guidance. The evening will offer an experiential introduction to working with a basic shamanic technique and a moderated conversation on using digital media and VR as means to visualise and share these encounters into Non-Ordinary Reality.
Please bring:
- A journal, note or sketchbook and pen/pencil for writing/drawing
- An eye covering (eyeshade, scarf, bandana, etc)
- You can sit-upright for any of the exercises, or bring a yoga mat or blanket
Light refreshments will be provided.
