The World Between
There is a world between what is seen and what is merely imagined.
French philosopher Henri Corbin called this the mundus imaginalis: the imaginal world.
The City of Living Hope is a journey into that world.
Building The City Together
Please come and join us for this very special event.
As we co-create and build The City Of Living Hope.
Not from bricks.
From imagery
From presence and attention
From our senses.
From what reveals itself.
From what each person brings in the moment
From hope made real.
This is a co-creative imagery journey: a shared act of co-creation in which the imaginal City of Living Hope begins to appear.
It is not a lecture.
Not a workshop.
Not a passive meditation.
Together we will enter the imaginal world and allow the City of Living Hope to reveal itself.
Each city is different because each gathering is different. Its places, people and pathways emerge through our shared attention, imagination and presence.
The city is not fixed in advance.
It builds itself through what appears between us.
What You Need To Know
You are welcome to speak, but you will never be called on.
There is nothing to prepare and nothing to get right.
Simply arrive, be present, and notice what comes.
A Co-Creative Imagery Journey
What Happens On The Night
The journey unfolds gently, in five movements.
01
The Arrival
We begin with music, a short welcome and time to settle.
02
The Opening
The room softens, attention deepens, and the journey begins.
03
The Path
We slowly walk the path that leads us to the City of Living Hope
04
The Arrival
The city reveals itself through our collective imagery, feeling, senses.
05
The Immersion
We immerse ourselves in the living life of the city, as if we are residents.
06
The Return
We come back gently, with time to write, reflect or share.
Who Is This For?
This is for the dreamers, the poets, the romantics, the visionaries and the futurists.
But you do not have to think of yourself as any of those things.
If you long for hope, you belong.
If you feel the world is heavy, but have not given up on beauty, kindness or courage, you belong.
If some part of you still believes that hope is not something we wait for, but something we can build together, you belong.
A quiet space.
Headphones, if you have them.
A notebook, if you like to write afterwards.
Nothing else is required.
You do not need to prepare anything.
You do not need to have experience with guided imagery.
You do not need to know what you will see.
Just arrive.
