Micha believes that through Creative & Collective processes with our conscious body-mind-soul, it is possible to survive patriarchy and to transform violent, traumatic and sex negative upbringing into a joyful path of recovery.
Stella is convinced that by coming together, with all our differences, with Radical Honesty, Radical Listening and Radical Empathy, we can set the path that leads to a world where all being can be happy and free.
A word from Micha...
"In this Irish edition of the Creative Weekend....I wish to recall our magical experience of the Creative Mornings classes and have more time to train in creative practices in an intimate and caring space where we learn that it's possible to be brave and vulnerable, to dare and explore personal and collective fantasies, and also to discover new ones.
I will share with you tools and techniques that you can use to create and support a challenging and inspiring space, where it is possible to combine thoughts and actions, liberate bodies and minds, and experience an empathic, consensual, honest, playful, and sex-positive collective, where everybody is encouraged to express themselves and is celebrated and respected for that.
The weekend is open to everyone (couples or singles, any gender and orientation). I desire to bring together people with different backgrounds, tastes, and experiences to explore without shame and negative judgments in an inclusive, radical, creative, and intimate space.
We will also address the topics of consent, self-responsibility, and self-care, empowering practices and rituals, and we will train skills to establish healthy relationships with ourselves and others.
We will observe our individual behaviours and try to recognise destructive patterns, unexpressed dreams, regrets, frustrations, romantic projections, and self-fulfilling prophecies. We will bring our emotional needs and desires to the centre and understand how to equip ourselves to support freedom, well-being, and self-empowerment for all.
Together, we will create a space of awareness where we can allow exploration to go further without letting fear and ancient conditioning determine our experiences. I will encourage you to develop your own palette of magical skills: you will be encouraged to communicate your boundaries, question and express your wishes, play and explore, surrender into trust, and come together in catharsis, ecstasy, and oneness."
What people said about Micha's previous workshops in Ireland:
"Your inner child will love it"
"Connect with your deeper & sexual self & express your deep longings in a safe, g-rated way"
"The sexual empowerment workshop gave me a safe, warm, queer and quirky space to explore different aspects of my own sexuality and a wide range of perspectives on human sexuality more generally"
"Micha guided us wonderfully through grounding ourselves in our body in order to be able to open ourselves up to creative connections with others. I left feeling seen, held, sated, connected and full from the playful intimacy and creativity I had experienced. I so want to do more!"
"Be spontaneous, try something new, discover connections and get playful. This will take you out of your comfort zone, but not too far."
"If curious about mindful connection with yourself and others, looking to expand your sexual awareness, explore boundaries and how you communicate, these are safe accepting and playful workshops to experience"
"It was a completely new experience that I would wholly recommend for anyone who is looking to expand group work to creative expansive fun in a really fun and supported environment. Gold stars all round. Can't wait to try it again."
"The event will open their views and mind, create new dimensions in some of the reservations people have about themselves and society."
"Connection, playfulness, surprising insights, transcendental moments, new friends"
"I felt very held in that space by Micha - I trusted her immediately and it enabled me to be brave and open."
