TEACHING/WORKSHOPS
Collaborative Storytelling Workshop with Axvall Folkhögskola (2026)
The collaborative storytelling workshop with students from Axvall Folkhögskola was a rich and inspiring experience and formed part of my artistic residency at Skövde Konstmuseum.
Axvall Folkhögskola is part of Sweden’s folk high school tradition, which emphasises learning through participation, creativity, and dialogue. The school is also involved in the European SchoolChanger programme, an initiative that explores innovative forms of education focused on creativity, sustainability, and social engagement.
Over two days, we worked with the story of Ishmael, a young drummer from the eighteenth century. Through watercolour painting, tableaux vivants, and sound exploration, the students and I imagined how the landscape might have appeared through his eyes and how his presence might still echo in the place today.
The workshop became a shared space of storytelling where history, creativity, and collective imagination came together.
Social Entrepreneurship/ The entrepreneur with an heart. (2018-2023)
A 8 week course on social enterpreneurship. This is an heart-centred business model of the future. Part of the course is a mini workshop on empathy and listening skills. Delivered at INSEEC. Social Entrepreneurship course, was an hands-on programme with guest lectures from social entrepreneurs and site visits to enterprises.
I planned empathy workshops and soft skills development sessions, based on role play and reflective practice, because I believe the “social” in social entrepreneurship must rest on compassion and ethical awareness as much as on business acumen.
The harmonious geometry of Plants (2024)
Museum of Biodiversity – University of Porto
This workshop, delivered at the Museum of Biodiversity at the University of Porto, explored listening as a gateway to a deeper form of perception—one that seeks to encounter the subtle wisdom present within the natural world. Set within the botanical garden, the workshop invited participants to slow down, cultivate silence, and reflect on the relationship between human awareness and the intelligence of plants. Drawing on ideas from sacred geometry, particularly the work of Pythagoras and Keith Critchlow, participants were introduced to the harmonious patterns, rhythms, and numerical relationships that shape plant forms and connect nature with universal principles.
Through meditation, contemplative observation, and active imagination exercises inspired by Carl Jung, participants explored ways of engaging with plants as sources of inspiration and insight. The workshop combined reflective practices with creative expression, culminating in drawing exercises that translated the geometries and forms observed in the botanical garden into personal artistic interpretations. By weaving together contemplation, creativity, and dialogue, the workshop created a space where the geometry of plants became a pathway for wellbeing, creative exploration, and deeper connection with nature.
The laboratory of dreams (2018-2024)
This series of workshops explores dreams as a source of personal insight, creativity, and spiritual reflection. It forms part of my ongoing artistic and educational practice investigating imagination, consciousness, and inner experience through arts-based methods.
The workshops have been delivered in different contexts, including Artist Space Nomadic School / MAAT, Goldsmiths University, and more recently in online formats, bringing together participants interested in exploring the symbolic and creative dimensions of dreaming.
Drawing on a range of traditions, the series integrates contemporary dream theory—particularly the work of Carl Jung—with contemplative approaches such as the ancient Tibetan practice of Dream Yoga. Participants are introduced to practical ways of remembering and working with dreams through dream journaling, dream sharing, and reflective exercises.
Using drawing, word association, and discussion, participants explore the imagery and symbolic language of dreams and how these inner experiences can inform their lives and creative practices. No artistic background is required.
Through these workshops, dreams are approached as living sources of imagination, self-knowledge, and transformation.
