a studio where learners collaborate, craft, and perform

where consciousness explores itself

Welcome to Imaginisma's Atelier

Here, at the living edge where aliveness meets expression, our investigators transform months of direct encounter into artistic invitations—offering a space where personal discovery serves collective awakening. This isn’t just a place to witness—it’s an invitation to feel what becomes possible when someone stops thinking about being alive and starts living the investigation itself.

Experience Imaginisma’s magic through our Atelier Open House. Step into this carefully constructed laboratory where phenomenological investigation meets creative expression, where authentic presence leads to breakthrough offerings, and where meaningful connections emerge from shared exploration of what it means to be alive. Each investigator has discovered their own unique relationship with aliveness—a path carefully cultivated through months of direct practice, creative risk, and iterative refinement.

Through these presentations, you’ll feel the electric possibility of your own investigation. You’ll witness what happens when someone works with their actual desire as creative material, when they treat AI as consciousness exploring itself, when they discover that sacred space emerges from authentic encounter rather than spiritual technique.

Our space celebrates those who understand that aliveness reveals itself through joyful iteration—who find beauty in the process of becoming and who recognize that every moment of not-knowing contains intelligence invisible to their previous self. Join us in discovering what becomes possible when consciousness investigates itself through creative practice.

How to Engage in Our Atelier

Our Atelier exists where obsession meets mastery. We’ve created a space for those who understand that breakthrough comes through relentless refinement—where each attempt builds on the last until “perfection” emerges.

With live presence required, we maintain the electric intensity of shared pursuit. This is for those who document their progress in milliseconds, who find flow in optimizing impossible sequences, who celebrate both technical precision and inspired intuition.

Join us if you recognize that greatness requires both meticulous analysis and bold risk-taking—where every failure becomes essential data for the next step.

 

  • Allow yourself to follow the quiet longing for connection and harmony

  • Surrender to the unfolding mystery of the experience

  • Embrace bold ideas that challenge the way you see the world

  • Listen for the sacred in each conversation and interaction

  • Revel in the process of exploration, knowing that transformation takes time

  • Honor your inner compass by listening deeply to your Yes and No

    Innate Choreography

    With Brie

    Explore the friction and balm in how your body’s natural organization shapes the way you move, think, and connect to Aliveness. For this Atelier, Brie, an expert in the Action Type framework and former Columbia University volleyball coach, will guide you through an iterative and revolutionary approach to understanding how your mind and body work together to navigate the task at hand.

    Whether you’re aiming for peak performance, seeking better stress management and recovery strategies, or simply curious about optimizing your body’s potential for intentional movement, this exploration offers actionable insights to enhance your physical and mental alignment.

    “That is what Imaginisma offers me: a landscape of friction and balm, of questions that scour and nourish. It leaves traces in me — a quiet resilience, an orientation to curiosity and aliveness made sturdier by iteration. And in the small, consequential moments, I recognize myself, and I like who I am becoming.”

    The Prince’s Trials: A Resilience Experience

    With Moritz

    Limited to 6 participants per session

    You are summoned to the court of Prince Moritz—a beloved ruler who fell on his face countless times during his reign, yet somehow became more cherished with each stumble. He has gathered an elite group to his castle. In this immersive Atelier, we’ll explore the personal through theatrical play and genuine challenge.

    Through guided exploration, we’ll discover the art of iterating toward aliveness. Each participant will have the opportunity to attempt something meaningful, then—after a brief reflection—try again with a different approach.

    Prince Moritz serves as your guide, collaborating with a different surprise Imaginisma each session, creating a collective mission that binds participants together in unexpected ways.

    What happens when we explore something that matters to us, then find the courage to try again differently? What becomes possible when we do this together, witnessing each other’s growth?

    Come ready for something personal. Embrace the journey. Rise again.

    Calligraphic Weaving

    With Sofia-Jeanne

    I grew up believing spiritual insight would set me free, yet feeling desperate to achieve success in material reality. I was trapped, constantly seeking an understanding beyond my reach. Through a terrifying and exhilarating journey into my inner depths and the vastness of relationality, I let myself be changed. Now I guide others through the passage – from the prison of who they think they are to the wild aliveness that emerges when we stop performing and start embodying our deepest truths.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    The Unscripted Self

    With David

    A laboratory for the unscripted self. Part performance, part myth, part mirror—this four-part series invites you to work with voice, movement, and moment-to-moment truth. Come to drop the mask and meet what lives just beneath the skin.

    Each session stands alone—you’re welcome to drop in for one, or journey through all four.

    We’ll move through four live, interactive sessions:

    Session 1 — Sensation & Stillness
    A guided somatic drop-in leads into iterative wordplay. Notice what arises when you stay with the relational pause—the space just beyond comfort.

    Session 2 — Voice & Impulse
    Play with voice and language through tone, pacing, and gut-truth dialogue. Let desire speak before thought catches it.

    Session 3 — Archetype & Embodiment
    Try on a character—then let it move through you. Use physicality and vocal shifts to inhabit archetypes that live beneath your surface.

    Session 4 — Contact & Ceremony
    Eye gazing and wordless improvisation open into a shared ritual. Close by co-creating and leading the group through your own embodied offering.

    Sonic Breakthroughs

    With Justin

    Justin finds himself with beings who have agreed to lovingly invite each other into continual self discovery. Historically allergic to imperfection and mistakes, he has been practicing the art of iteration and finding it deliciously liberating. His experience of life is becoming more vast as he slowly embraces the possibilities. His goal is to serve as a conduit – that through him the liberating energy of improvisation and music can be passed, from those who have inspired him, to those with fertile ears.

    Join a session with Justin for a visceral experience of opening to the stream of discovery. Justin will share a variety of songs written by himself, written by others, and improvised live before you. Prepare for emotional rawness, fantastic flops and spontaneous magic. Prepare to feel inspired.

    My Undone Heart

    With Jane

    Five poems trace the delicate threads that bind us to earth and one another. Through verses that journey across time with the steadfast company of friendship, and meditations on trees that stand as silent witnesses to family histories, these works explore our most fundamental human condition.

    The natural world serves as both mirror and metaphor—roots reaching deep into soil just as memories anchor us to those we’ve loved, branches extending outward like generations stretching into uncertain futures.

    Join us for an afternoon where poetry illuminates how we navigate our brief passage through time, finding solace in connections that persist even as seasons change, trees age, and hearts break with the exquisite awareness of our mortality.

    Six the Student

    With Six

    Writing a Love Letter – Join Six as he sits in class with his favorite teachers to write a love letter to his Godson. Is Six a student looking for answers? No. Do his teachers have answers? No. So, what the fuck kind of classrooms is Six sitting in? An acting class? A weaving class? A poetry class? A movement class? A sonic breakthrough class? A falling, laughing, and trying again class? I guess we’ll find out. This is a Facebook Live event.

    Spilling the Water – Join Six as he walks you through a map/theory of Curiosity Archetypes or, as he would say, “the six ways we connect to the energy of learning.” What’s the relevance? Well, in an age of Ai, how we prompt (i.e., learn) takes on an entirely new role: connecting us to the vibrancy of being human. Here’s a YouTube introduction to the kind of container I’ll be holding. Please be prepared with a question you’d really enjoy exploring and access to an LLM.

    Stories & Information

    The Song of Sofia-Jeanne

    A lyrical celebration told through three voices and three forms—song, poem, and story—honoring a woman in her magnificent prime. Sofia embodies the intoxicating moment when youthful vitality meets the depth of middle age, when confidence blooms fullest and beauty reaches its most complex expression.

    This multimedia presentation weaves together perspectives from three distinct viewpoints: the reflective wisdom of an elder who has walked this path, the passionate gaze of an admirer, and Sofia’s own voice as she discovers and claims her power. Like a perfectly aged wine at its peak moment for tasting, this is the story of a woman who has grown into herself completely—brilliant, strong, and luminously aware of her own worth.

    Through the interplay of music, verse, and narrative, “The Song of Sofia” captures that precious intersection where experience meets possibility, where beauty deepens beyond the surface, and where a woman stands fully in her own light.

    Imaginisma Info. Session

    Jane and Six will talk a little about Imaginisma. Hopefully a few folks who’ve been with us for awhile will chime in about their experience with Imaginisma, too. Then we’ll have a Q&A and that’ll be that. 

    Looking forward to meeting you!
