This Intersection will feature a workshop led by Tracy von Ahsen: Conscious Collage: A Studio Method by Tracy von Ahsen Cinematic. Intimate. A beautifully raw encounter with your creative unknown. Conscious Collage is an intuitive, hands-on studio workshop rooted in fully analog collage. Participants engage directly with material, image, and composition to engage their subconscious mind. Designed for participants of all experience levels, the workshop begins with a guided meditation, inviting participants to quiet the mind, connect with their intuition, and enter a space of creative openness. Combining technical instruction with open-ended exploration, participants are encouraged to trust their instincts, experiment with imagery, and discover unexpected relationships between visual elements. The creative process concludes with a closing. Participants are then invited to receive Deeksha, a traditional Oneness blessing offered through gentle touch, inviting stillness and connection. Participation in the blessing is entirely optional. Experience: All levels welcome. No prior art experience required.
