About the event
On Knowing is a 6-session multidisciplinary workshop series that blends philosophical prompts with artistic exercises to guide you through a process of discovery and reflection. Rooted in mindfulness, philosophy, art, and inquiry, it offers an approachable way to explore profound themes like trust, identity, hyperreality, psychogeography, imagination, and the balance between solitude and community.
Drawing from a range of thinkers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Simone Weil, Jean Baudrillard, and Gabor Maté, On Knowing encourages you to question norms, contemplate personal experiences, and reimagine the structures that influence our lives. This workshop provides a creative space to think critically, reflect deeply, and challenge assumptions. On Knowing will encourage deeper self-awareness, ignite new ideas, and support a more mindful and intentional approach to life.
COURSE CONTENT
Workshop 1: TRUST
A Philosophical & Artistic Workshop on Self-Reliance & Inner Knowing
We are surrounded by conflicting information, shifting narratives, and a constant stream of external noise. In the midst of it all, it can be difficult to know what is true, what will last, and what is worth believing. This perpetual hum of outside influence challenges our ability to hear our own voice, leaving us adrift with a weakened sense of inner guidance. Over time, as we lose the muscle for turning inward, we begin to rely on others’ views to shape our own, missing the opportunity to interpret and understand the world for ourselves. In this process, we risk losing our own sense of truth. When we explore our ideas only through the lens of others, innovation and curiosity are replaced with recycled, uninspired thinking.
By rebuilding trust in our own intuition, we rediscover our ability to create, engage, and move through life with authenticity, connection, and strength.
TRUST is a reflective and creative workshop designed to help you recognise when and why you neglect your own voice in favor of external perspectives - and how to rebuild the habit of trusting yourself. Through a multidisciplinary approach, you’ll engage with big ideas through a blend of guided discussion followed by a hands-on artistic exercise. With simple yet powerful introspective questions, along with an art activity designed to express what you’ve discussed in another way, you’ll begin to disentangle your ideas from outside influences, reconnecting with your own sense of clarity and authenticity.
Workshop 2: CONDITIONS
Workshop 3: HYPERREALITY
Workshop 4: CONNECT
Workshop 5: REIMAGINE
Workshop 6: SOLITUDE & COMMUNITY
Workshops run for 2 hours, with an equal split of time between the philosophical portion and the artistic exploration. To preserve a thoughtful and impactful environment for our workshops, group sizes are kept small and spaces are limited.
No prior experience with philosophy or art is needed and all materials are provided. This is a welcoming, pressure-free space for exploration.
This can be booked as a 6 week complete course (as above) or each workshops can also be booked as a standalone experience. Each session builds on the last to deepen trust, clarity, and creative exploration.
