IIDI’s DYW Artist Lab is part of our commitment to finding creative solutions to social and global challenges through the communal dreaming of artistic works.
Enhanced Creativity
Dreaming is the language of creativity and idea generation, engaging our neurobiological creative processes. At IIDI you learn how to access this wellspring, and understand the creative process. We teach you specific tools so that you move fluidly through each aspect of creative work to effectively bring your ideas to fruition.
Problem Identifying and Problem Solving
IIDI's grounded, structured approach to dreaming teaches you to identify problems and find the underlying necessity, discerning its context within the larger system. Using specific perspective-taking steps you move through the problem-solving process while maintaining your connection to the creative flow of ideas.
Making Projects Tangible
Through dreaming and imagery we help you identify where you limit your creative expression and block your ability to manifest. These same methods provide the means for transforming these blocks so that you return to a fluid and effective engagement with your creative work.
Embodiment & Emotional Strengths
Through all of our experiential work at IIDI you learn how to develop your senses and to be conscious to your bodily responses to experience. Not only does this increase your intuition, here you can identify and shift energy-depleting emotions like fear and anger, to return to a responsive, creative state of being.
Deepen the Meaning of Your Work
Dreams return you to your inner dialogue. In this inner space you engage with your true questions, and find what you really want to say to the world, and how to best express it. This work of self-becoming, and artistic contribution, is facilitated by inquiry-based imagery exercises to focus questions and expand perspectives as they develop within you.
