Imaginarium Homing is an in-person and online programme that encourages you to come home to yourself.
Run by Sarah Hymas and Katherine Zeserson from October 2026 to March 2027, this Imaginarium is inspired by noticing how the cycles of nature enable us to notice cycles in ourselves.
All life begins in the dark. The light stimulates growth.
The present multi-crises call on us to ground ourselves and honour our place in the world, in the face of dissonance, violence and despair. By tapping into your embodied knowing, you’ll become reacquainted with your passions, skills and capacities. You will be guided through a process which will refresh, reorientate and renew yourself within the world. This reacquaintance builds confidence in what you can offer yourself, your community and the wider world, without overcommitting or feeling guilty.
Working with our creative, physical and spiritual bodies, we will write, make, sing, move, reflect, discuss, walk, explore and unpack what rises within us as we travel.
Our work draws on the knowledge of Joanna Macy, adrienne marie brown’s thinking around Emergent Strategy, and bell hooks, as well as permaculture principles, coaching techniques, improvisation and other creative loosening practices.
Details
The process begins with a four night retreat in Yorkshire. There you will be given space and a mix of directed and free-style activities to remember what you love to do and how to be, and begin to build a small community of like-minded people who want to support others as part of their learning.
Over the following four months we’ll spend three sessions together online, embedding new habits into our daily / weekly practices, and nourishing our connections with ourselves and the others in this Imaginarium and our wider communities.
Our final session together in this Imaginarium is a daylong in-person gathering in South Cumbria. This will be a gently activating day of talk, play, fire and food.
