Imagination is the Medicine
We Need
Why Unstuck? Like you I'm a real live human being bombarded by the daily news of grim narratives and unimaginative solutions. In spite of the forces proclaiming otherwise, I find most people are naturally imaginative, brave, kind, creative, generous, and often, lots of fun to be with.
I also find we humans are at our best when we're sharing inspiration, new perspectives, and enjoying laughter together. Through guided practices and play we will counter the narratives keeping us us stuck, sad, angry, and afraid.
We are the medicine needed to restore our own well-being and the health of our planet.
What's the laboratory look like?
ADX is a safe and welcoming space where multiple sensory rich play centers will be open for exploration.
An enticing buffet of mushy, colorful, sticky, loud, gooey, soft, familiar and unfamiliar elements invites us to squish,
splatter, create sounds, write, and dance however we like.
Is there a Lab Guide?
Yes! Each gathering introduces the play centers and brief theme-based, road-tested strategies for getting unstuck.
Open-ended recipes and non-directive activity suggestions are available upon request.
