BODYSPIRITS
Practice of Embodied Art Making
Tuesday, June 2nd, 7-9pm,
Lichtenberg, Berlin
Art making is how we recover our memory and basic trust in knowing where we come from, who we are, and our relation with the world. Recovering our creativity and imagination through art making is how we express the deepest truths sensible to our bodyspirit being, and how we begin to liberate ourselves from the trance of Western reality.
(excerpts from “Loving Body is Embracing Spirit“ by Suzanne Lovell)
Can you hear it, the noise getting louder? The news, the media, everything we touch becoming commodified.
Our attention split between a million competing things, ever thinning, never quite there?
Do you sense the growing weight of it all, the pressure, the guilt, while feeling more and more isolated and alienated, even though we were never meant to carry this alone?
Does your mind loop, trying to predict how bad things might get? 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 refusal to become a commodity. It moves beyond “isms,” especially the dualism between body and mind. This isn’t something we have to figure out intellectually; we can experience it directly.
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 creatively.
Through movement, guided meditation, breath, drawing, and journaling, 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
My work is rooted in the trust that your innermost self wants to be seen, expressed, and lived. Through intermodal expressive arts, I create 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, I support 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 my way of coming home, it brings us into the present moment, into the body, into aliveness.
Although I have been close to art my entire life, I first chose a different path. I studied physics and spent over a decade working in software engineering, leading teams and navigating fast-paced environments. This chapter gave me 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. My explorations of expressive arts, yoga, Buddhism, and contemplative practices helped me reconnect with intuition, embodiment, and the creative roots I had long set aside. What emerged is the work I now offer: a fusion of creativity, presence, curiosity, and a profound respect for the human experience.
