This event is difficult to describe: how do you hit a stick with itself? That’s what it is to use English to describe this event.
It’s about language…and the mind. But not in the usual way.
It’s also about embodiment, presence and felt connection and intimacy during communication..but also not in the usual way.
It’s about the the alphabet…and Character…and correcting ‘what’s wrong with English’ in such a way, that, well, by correcting the issues, in a way that makes sense, we end up with new presence for our expression, and if we keep going, we get an entirely new language, yet not.
Maybe this event would be better called Mental Decolonisation, or Hacking the Mind Matrix, or Language Upgraded
or perhaps even The Return to Indigenous Mind…or the most controversial ‘mental healing’?
But no matter it’s name if you are curious about the following questions - you’ll love this event:
Why do we get taught two ways of writing and saying the alphabet, yet hardly use the capitals in our Capitalist world?
What’s with that crazy rule of sentences & names for capital letters?
Why do just a few characters ‘drop beneath the line’ but all the rest are ‘on it’? (g,j,p,q,y!)
Why is only about 20% of English pronounced as written?
And what the heck is going on with silent letters?
Come for a mental adventure that explains and resolves these wonky, seemingly inexplicable quirks of one of the most potent and influential languages of the modern world - English.
We begin chuckling at the obvious craziness of it all, and end up with an embodied, native, felt, new language.
One capable of holding and expressing our deepest presence, thought and feeling.
Whats the point?
Havent you noticed that for sharing deep feeling or insight with another that English is….not great?
Complex objectives ideas? English is superb, and has proven itself again and again to fit for dealing with abstractions and objectivity.
For sharing, and ‘staying in’ embodied feeling, connection and experience? Not so much.
This is a language upgrade, a correction, an evolution, and an integration that can fill that gap in a satisfying way for English speakers.
If we compare the mind to a computer, when we learn new skills or ideas, that’s like expanding your operating system…maybe ‘installing another app’ on it.
But when we make changes at the alphabet and character level of mind and language, it’s like upgrading the Machine Code that underpins the operating system.
Everything is affected, and, if it really is an upgrade - improved.
Every Code Benefits from an Upgrade Patch. Come with me to the bridge between the linear and non-linear mind, where the Sound and Shape of the characters emerge from silences and blank page into sounds and sigils that are built into spells that not only express our innermost and deepest, but can change our feeling, our direction, our Seeing.
This is an event for those seeking a more embodied and felt means of communication and connecting. It is for the linguistically curious. For those who would finally like to crack into the mind properly, reclaiming the raw materials, instead of always being told to quieten it in suspended silos.
This is mental, in the most proper meaning of the word. Come and get stuck in to what usually gets left out.
In this day you will leave with -
a new way to write the alphabet.
a new way to understand, and use, the sounds of the alphabet.
a clear understanding of ‘what IS wrong with English, and why it got that way’…and the fix!
a set of natural and obvious rules that can help you ‘keep upgrading’ your mind and language.
A more effective speaking and singing voice
A pathway to truly ‘freeing your mind’ from the rigid sigils it’s currently bound by.
