The open studio
The open atelier invites you in:
You will find silence, a large window, a clean floor. There are
materials in the room that invite you to read, feel and reflect.
On the wall, a “dialogisches Geflecht-Wandbild” invites you to participate.
You can spend time here, write, stare at the wall,
leave something on it, read, take a nap, enjoy the silence.
You can come once, or more often. Alone or with others.
There is a break area in front of the room.
Workshops take place on weekday evenings and Saturdays.
Outside of that, we practice the friendly silence
of a reading room in the space
At the beginning there is a blank wall.
Everyone is invited to leave something there before leaving. Thoughts, observations, questions, comments, feelings, poems, quotes, pictures.
There are pens, colored and uncolored, thick and thin. Different papers and pieces of paper.
With every day, the collection grows and becomes a mesh - a mesh of paper and thoughts, colors and feelings, writing and associations.
With nodes, connections, unusual neighbor and other fields of investigation. Threads of conversation can be spun. More and more sides of a “medal” (perhaps) come into ‘play’.
In this way, a “dialogisches Geflecht-Wandbild” (dialogical mesh mural) develops that breathes and can be rediscovered and questioned again and again through our participation..
Dialogisches Geflecht-Wandbild
Workshops
The workshops offer the opportunity to exchange perspectives with others and space to deepen your knowledge. We will mostly work with or in the cosmos of the “dialogisches Geflechtwandbild” (dialogical mesh mural).
The workshops within the framework of the open studio invite small moments of reflection. Starting from the material in “dialogisches Geflechtwandbild”, we will explore individual aspects of silence in the workshops with the help of mindfulness and creative practices.
The workshops on Saturdays allow for more time and a more intensive exchange with others.

Together in Silence
18.00 bis 21 Uhr
Simple.
Being together.
Listening to the candles.
Following the silence. Breathing.
Maybe someone moves. Sighs.
Maybe someone writes something on the wall.
Maybe someone quietly leaves. Maybe they return.
Simple.
Listening to the candles.
Following the silence.
Breathing.
We will immerse ourselves in
the experience of beeing together in silence.

Together in Silence
For the opening of the open studio, we will immerse ourselves in the experience of shared silence.
Two gentle figures will ring us in and out with sound. We will be together in silence. We will create the first layer of the “dialogisches Geflechtwandbild”.
We will sit or lie on the floor, or sitting on a chair. Time will pass. We will be silent. Time will pass, we will be silent.
From time to time, a gentle sound will call us to ask ourselves the questions: What am I perceiving right now?
What is silence ?
Afterwards we will come together and collect our impressions, thoughts and images. If you like, you can put some of them on the wall. And thus create the first layer of the “ dialogisches Geflechtwandbild” .

Why are we silent…? Investigating our Silences
Interaktive Workshop
We start with a joint gathering and exchange on the questions:
What forms and types of silence do we perceive?
How Where When do they appear?
What questions do we have about them?
In the second part we will turn to individual aspects from our collection and explore depths, edges and relationships.
We will explore this with the support of mindfulness exercises and creative writing.
(re)collecting
At the end we come together again for collecting and sharing.
Also there will be time to work on the “dialogisches Geflechtwandbild” /”dialogical mesh mural”.
