Meta Sculpting with Locu

In the Meta Sculpting class we focus on mind work and meditation.  Assuming our thoughts are matter. As if they are things - we depersonalise from them - detach and re-act to be in harmony and present with the essence of our being. In dialogues with each other we share patterns and explore different tecniques of meditation and awareness. Through this we get to know our own constructions and how we can shape and form them. This is a safe space. - LGBTQ* friendly. You do not have to bring anything but yourself. Feel free to join anytime - but if you join for the first time please enroll here.
