Meditation Workshop
Participatory workshops
2024–2025
About the work
These participatory workshops explore how attention to bodily sensation can change an encounter with the surrounding world. Guided meditation and shared listening create situations in which participants can notice relationships between their own presence, other people and an environment.
The workshops approach anxiety as a condition to be encountered and lived alongside. The outdoor session in Park(ing) uses Primrose Hill as a place for focused and guided meditation. The later sonic session forms part of Southerly: Breath of Anxiety. Together, they extend questions of perception and presence into a shared practice rather than a screen-based encounter.
Southerly Meditation Workshop
Park(ing) · Primrose Hill, London · August 2024
A performative workshop that moves from focused meditation on bodily sensation to guided attention towards the surrounding landscape. It considers how anxiety and relief can coexist when a finite body encounters the apparent continuity of nature.
