The Faculty of Expressive Arts embraces two departments – creative expression and communication. What they have in common is that they are about connecting with one’s Essence and letting it flow outwards.

Programs in the department of Creative Arts refer to your essence to that which is most essentially you, and give you the tools to liberate this energy and express it. They help you open to the reservoir of this creative potent inner source and find the outlets for it. When you are in contact with your real self everything you do becomes creative because of they way your life is flowing. Your words have a poetry, your movements a rhythm and your touch a graceful presence. Everything you do becomes a contribution that enriches.

The Department of Communication recognizes that living is essentially a process of communication. We speak not only with our words, but also with our gestures, our thoughts, our eyes and with our energy. It teaches conscious communication as an art form that greatly enriches all our forms of relating with others. Because in our upbringing we haven’t been so clearly taught to communicate we create many unnecessary difficulties for others and ourselves. The programs in this department address many aspects of communication, working with clearing old limiting communication patterns and learning new more fulfilling and effective ways to express ourselves.

Acting Coordinator Bavari Amode Bavari Amodé has been working as an actress in the theatre, the movies and and on TV for 25 years. She has also worked in broadcasting and synchronisation. She teaches acting and speech training, and she is an NLP-practitioner und certified Essence trainer.

Creating from Essence

This training is for anyone wanting to rediscover or enrich their creative potential, be it in their daily life, their relationships or in their work. In this workshop we create an atmosphere where participants can connect to the deep and silent stillness of Being within, open to inspiration and let it express outwards. We explore what inhibits our creative flow and work to clear the limiting statements and patterns such as "I can’t do it, I’m not good enough" which separate us from the ecstatic experience of being creators.

The Art and Science of Communication

We become conscious creators of our own communication

Being open and sincere with me … enables you to come into contact with yourself.

Many people are looking for ways out of the communication crisis. The atmosphere in partnerships and professional teams is often highly explosive and tension-ridden. Despite attempts at finding solutions, conflicts tend to escalate and we are not making any headway. Patterns, blockages and prejudices that never seem to change, prevent us from genuinely appreciating the people we communicate with. This has far-reaching implications. Our society is incapable of resolving existential environmental, economic and ethic issues. Tools for productive dialogue seem to be missing on a small as well as on a big scale.

This training opens up new possibilities and offers new tools: A magnifying glass for the inner witness and sensitive receptors for precise perception. We start a process of genuine questioning: What supports me and consequently my communication? What brings about resistance, paralyis, anger, justifications etc.? You become your own observer and begin to see what lies behind the patterns that come up time and again, and what are the causal factors for your incapacity to communicate. This process leads to the deep inner truth and reveals inhibiting factors. Part of this is the conscious tracking: “Which energy do I communicate from? - Do I, for instance, convey messages that are overpowering on an energetic level, are they based on fear, or do we associate the energies that come across with heartfulness and creative ease?”

This Essence training seminar leads us on the path of mindful communication. It offers us the tools to leave behind old patterns. It opens up a new way of seeing which helps us to understand ourselves and others. This creates the basis for sincere and productive communication. We stop being victims and become conscious creators of our communication.
