14th May. 7 - 9PM
Join artist and teacher Kate Walters for an evening exploring the fertile ground between art practice, dreams, and shamanic ways of working. Drawing on many years of teaching and studio-based enquiry, Kate will reflect on how images arise from the unconscious — through dreaming, memory and imagination — and how these can be engaged through drawing, painting, writing and ritual approaches to making.
Dreams have long been a source of artistic insight and transformation. This talk will consider how attention to dream life, symbols and inner imagery can deepen creative practice, resonating with both shamanic traditions and psychoanalytic understandings of the unconscious. By working with images that emerge in sleep and reverie, artists can encounter material that lies beyond deliberate intention, opening new relationships with intuition, landscape and inner narrative.
Known for bringing together artists, writers and curious thinkers, Kate’s courses explore creativity as a process of discovery — one that connects the making of images with reflection, presence and the wider natural world. Through images, stories and conversation, this evening offers an introduction to the ideas underpinning her teaching, where meditation, dream attention and creative practice combine to support a more spacious and exploratory approach to art.
The talk will include a short presentation of Kate’s work, insights into her methods, and time for questions and discussion. Suitable for artists, therapists, writers and anyone interested in the relationship between creativity, dreams and the unconscious.
