Shiver.Smile.Sigh.
Shiver. Smile. Sigh. - Sensorial Nurishment
How do we experience that our body is “engaged” with our imagination? We need to give her/him unspoken signals, intensive sensory impulses wrapped in easy to grab docking sites for the human emotional world.
Shiver. Smile.Sigh. is about a highly accurate series of unconventional body experiences that enable you to “dance“ with the non-linear, the space where connections and pattern appear that are not immediately apparent.
Our Shiver. Smile.Sigh. selection of practices
will train your unbiased attention to explore:
What makes your body shiver in comfort?
What makes you wear a smile?
What makes you sigh in relief?
Shiver. Smile. Sigh. - Embodied Emotional Ripping Free
We're taught to treat the world as if we can predict and control it. As if we can and master it. We can't, and trying to do so only makes things worse. You find yourself having to make decisions with incomplete data, not knowing whether to trust your head, heart or gut.
How do you find clarity on what course will be productive for yourself, for your business, for society, for the planet? Whether you're a founder, an investor, or a policymaker, you need to navigate exactly these kinds of situations.
Shiver. Smile. Sigh. - An Uncorrupted View to the Inside
Shiver. Smile. Sigh. is arranged as a community of practice that will give you opportunities of dancing at the edges of what is known and what is not.
It is a safe-enough space to decipher, to encounter your own personal paradoxes,
using them to inform and sharpen your perception. You’ll have the chance to engage with the things that you feel, but can’t quite be named, and to develop your own way of turning those into something you can work with.
In small-group experiences, you are introduced to learn unique sensation focussed
body experiences, edit popular behaviour shaping methods and reflect with community members on how practising has worked for you.
By the end of the encounters, you will have designed your own behaviour rituals, celebrating a change that matters most to you. Along the way you’ll challenge your senses, developing your ability to respond to what’s really happening for you.
The first move you’ll make with us is to greet yourself as you may not have before.
The Initiators
Patricia von Papstein and Matthew Bellringer first met at a Future of Work conference in 2020. They connected around a shared interest in technology, mythology, and how to bring about a future without unintended consequences.
Their explorations have already included the remodelling of the Arthurian heroic epic, AI as therapy, classy gossiping, the impact of the non-linear on emotional turmoil, and the politics of things. It figures that down the road they will not run out of material that waits to be questioned and honoured.
Patricia is a clinical – and organisational psychologist with a fondness for unruly mental health. She successfully teases out the healing energy of the trickster in people and products. The relieving embodiment of friendly madness in all of us is her Dada Charms inspired focus.
Matthew is a neurodiversity and innovation specialist who believes it takes an unconventional perspective to engage with some of the trickiest problems we face. Matthew focuses on supporting work that takes a new approach to complex issues, co-production, and regenerative working practices.
