Creative Death Fantasies – from Inner Images to Shared Narratives

with Dennis Trendelberend and Matthias Gockel

"I have to get up earlier every day to stare at the first rays of light in the dark sky with a cup of tea in my hand. I want to die in winter." – Wolfgang Herrndorf

Have you ever imagined how you might die – from illness or old age? From an accident, violence or suicide? In a dissociative state or a dream? In an erotic fantasy or spiritual experience? Perhaps the idea frightened you, paralysed you, perhaps it relieved you or excited you.

In the workshop, we meditatively explore these images of death and gently bring them to the surface. We will share our fantasies about dying. Just talking about such a personal topic can be intense and liberating. And we will go one step further (with those who want to): we will confide our fantasies of dying to one or more other people and let them tell us about them. We will explore them together in an intimate and magical space.
