DreamBook 🌈 Integral Embodiment Program @arthaus.berlin & @thomasprattkicentre Somehow, it's clearer now: I choose to be guided by Love. The signs are along the way. The messages are everywhere. It's exciting, it's liberating, to trust that we are all balancing this human experience together. The light and the shadows, the highs and the lows, in company or alone. What feels painful helps us wash away the burden of the ego. A lighter experience of Love is unfolding within us.

Dreams Book ✨ Integral Embodiment Program @arthaus.berlin @thomasprattkicentre Dreamlike reality feels fragmented, encapsulated. Dystopias and utopias of alternative realities. Life is a dream; to create is to play at doing it again. 📽️ Ritual video at the beach: @kayarena_love 🫀Txs to Giramid, Felix, Marcelo for their presence. (Jana, Savannah and Kyung Jin, even if not on camera). Rik, Juan, Emily and Fede for holding the space. ✨ Txs to Thomas, Loek, Maria, Nora for lighting the way.

✨Who's part of our Community Art Wall✨ MEET MARILU MÉSZÁROS ORTIZ! Marilu/Fennel is a Costa Rican psychologist, dancer, art director, choreographer and entrepreneur. She sees art in everyday life and treats creation as something essential to her existence. Whatever medium is available becomes a tool for processing emotion, experience and the constant movement of inner life. Spiritual and regenerative growth are central to how she approaches both art and people. Ballet shaped her early sense of belonging. It taught her discipline, perseverance and the vision to dream. That foundation still lives in her work today: the body as language, as a path toward connection. The three-minute video shown at BLUT! was used as the prologue to 'You Are Here', a performance where five dancers and a musician gathered in Kortrijk to embark on a shared journey of soul-searching and channeling. Music by: @zer0rei_ 1st 📷 by: ©Kay Lacombe 📍 Come check out their work at BLUT!

"You Are Here" (work in progress) During two days of intense coexistence and residency, we embarked on a journey of soul-searching and channeling to bring our own stories into the present, being and existing together.
