BODYSPIRITS: Practice of Embodied Art Making

  • Berlin, BE, 10 Germany (map)

Hosted by Gohar Gasparyan from Colors of the Soul Expressive Arts

In a reality that is uprooted from nature and communities, that is chaotic, loud, and competing for attention, that is injected with fear, steaming with rage, wincing with grief, so isolating, so alienating… Do you feel the burden? Do you feel the weight? Do you feel the sadness? Do you feel your mind looping, trying to make sense? Mine sure does. And I can’t think my way out of it. Neither can you.

What we can do is pause, take a breath together. We can soften our grip, lay down the inner weapons, slow down, and then slow down a little more.
We can feel what’s here and give it expression.

Bodyspirit is a remembrance of our essential nature. It’s a full-body, somatic yes to what’s there, and then the possibility to express it artfully. It’s a way to connect beyond words, a sensory glue to keep us together.

Bodyspirit is a refusal to become a commodity. It moves beyond “isms,” beyond the body and mind dichotomy, beyond dogmas and dominating cultural constructs. This isn’t something we have to figure out intellectually; we can experience it directly.

What to expect:

  • Movement

  • Guided Meditation

  • Breath

  • Drawing

  • Journaling

Through these practices we gently reconnect with ourselves as whole beings.

We feel. We sense. We move. We play. We express. We share. We connect.

In doing so, we touch our aliveness and perhaps carry that felt sense with us as a talisman and a guiding light.

About the facilitator

Gohar’s work is rooted in the trust that your innermost self wants to be seen, expressed, and lived. Through intermodal expressive arts, she creates spaces where reason softens, imagination awakens, and something meaningful can emerge. In this liminal, playful territory, we often meet the insights, symbols, and inner movements that guide us toward deeper alignment.

As an expressive arts facilitator, yoga teacher, mother, and highly sensitive human being, Gohar supports people in returning to the ground of their being, to the quiet soil where seeds of truth can be felt, nurtured, and invited to grow. Creative flow has always been her way of coming home, it brings us into the present moment, into the body, into aliveness.

Although Gohar has been close to art her entire life, she first chose a different path. She studied physics and spent over a decade working in software engineering, leading teams and navigating fast-paced environments. This chapter gave her security, resilience, and an ability to hold complexity as well as multiple burnouts and a sense of hopelessness.

Over time, a deeper inner calling began to surface. Her explorations of expressive arts, yoga, Buddhism, and contemplative practices helped her reconnect with intuition, embodiment, and the creative roots she had long set aside. What emerged is the work she now offers: a fusion of creativity, presence, curiosity, and a profound respect for the human experience.

Tickets: sliding scale from 15 to 45€
