Unlearn to Be - Caminocreativo Canada Tour May '23

CAMINOCREATIVO Training Program Canada Level 1. Unlearn to Be 5-7/05 Nelson, BC 12-14/05 Salt Spring Island, BC 19-21/05 Montreal CAMINOCREATIVO is an experiential cross-path between arts, shamanism and psychology developed throughout 20 years of experimentation by researcher, artist and group facilitator Nicolas Cambas (Arg/Ita). A body of creative contemporary practices and ancestral knowledge designed to heal, transform and enable self and collective growth into evolutionary paradigms for a more meaningful, balanced and authentic existence. This year coming for the first time to Canada with the introductory workshop to this whole experience. Level 1. Unlearn to Be This workshop consists in unfolding extra-ordinary collective states through a balanced mixture of radical playfulness and subtle awareness, opening the way to inhabiting the creative level of existence: life as a creative process. “Unlearn to Be” combines ancestral knowledge from non-western cultures with creative frames coming from body-based contemporary expressive arts. It’s an exercise of letting go of what we (think we) know so that we can authentically Be, in relationship to ourselves and the others. The psychological and shamanic background is based in the recognition and awakening of the trickster archetype, a deep aspect of the human psyche celebrated as a sacred mixture of light and shadow in shamanic cultures and historically repressed in western society. This archetype has the power to subvert the established order of things enabling creativity and transformation for an evolutive purpose. The structure of the workshop combines practical and intellectual content, directed to detect, understand and transform the collectively inherited programs and unacknowledged traumas that unconsciously run our lives, into a more enjoyable, powerful and pristine version of ourselves as individuals and as a collective. Content: Life as a creative process Transformative playfulness Material, sexual creative, mental, and emotional aspects of the Self 1st and 2nd chakras as the creative centers in the body Feminine and masculine forces in the ancestral world and their alchemical creative relationship The fool path of the Trickster Archetype Coming back to the Tribe, the forgotten Power of the Collective.
