CONNECT WITH YOUR CREATIVE POTENTIAL
With the Shell Release Method® and Conscious Gest®
With Anna Guasch
A weekly proposal of body and automatic writing, body and unconscious, body and creativity.
The purpose of the Shell Release Method® (MLC®), created by Marie Lise Labonté, is to free us from physical and/or psychic and/or emotional rigidities, to return to the body its own spontaneous movement. Her body proposal is the result of Carl Gustav Jung’s unconscious work, Wilhelm Reich’s shell theory and Thérèse Bertherat’s antigymnasia® body work. Regular practice is a path to explore self-knowledge and connect with our authenticity, while toning and making our body more flexible.
Gest Conscient®, created by Àngels Massagué, also provides awareness through anatomy in movement. This consciousness is closely linked to the health, vitality and fullness with which we unfold ourselves every day.
Automatic writing is a technique that was born within the framework of the surrealist movement. André Breton defined it as ‘a dictate of thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason and outside of any aesthetic or moral concern‘. In this workshop we will use it as a tool to drain creative expression. So each session becomes a dialogue between the conscious and the unconscious, between the body and the mind, movement and creativity, between the external and internal world.
“When the body is flexible, the mind relaxes. When the mind relaxes, creativity happens.” –Anna Guasch–.
