With Elena Solano
Arts Based Research creates a space for a collection of subjectivities, for spontaneous visioning and public dreaming, allowing synchronicity, non-linearity and complexity to lead the way.
We are also able to find ourselves and each other through art and image.
Elena Solano talks about her work incorporating Arts Based Reseach as a group and collaboration process that de-centers colonial communication practices such as argument, persuasion, debate, judgment, case-building, verbal sparring, defining, categorizing and opining.
Arts Based Research as a community practice allows participants to engage in a process that centers rest, silence, reflection, play, self-regulation, amplification, intuition, meaning making, and imagination and image and to hold these functions up as forms of power and ways of knowing.
With Martha Crawford & Elizabeth Honer
What does it mean to contemplate our dreams? How can art, illustration, and virtual reality become a practice for creative integration? What does it mean to make art for the primary purpose self-reflection, self-awareness and personal growth? How can visual art practices help us enter into a healthy, grounded dialogue with our dreams and engage with what Jung calls “the voice of nature within us”?
Visual artist Elizabeth Honer and Martha Crawford invite you to join us in a conversation about art, animation, virtual reality and contemplative immersive dream work.
Elizabeth Honer is a graphic artist and animator with over 10 years experience of exploration into the world of dreams and dreaming. Her work will be featured at this year's Annual Dream Conference for the International Association for the Study of Dreams.

The Trump administration is “flooding the zone,” overwhelming us with ruthlessness as a matter of practice, with every executive order and policy change meant to show us their teeth, and terrify us. Ruthlessness is a human quality for better or worse and in this session, we will explore what we can know and understand about it, how to face and how to face ourselves…

How might we respond to students in compassionate, realistic and en-couraging ways in the face of danger and uncertainty? What do we do when our own grief, despair, confusion, and fear are activated in the room?
What are our various tasks in this moment, as instructors, compatriots, colleagues, peers, elders, role models and initiators?
The work of grief, loss, and aging is profoundly shaped by the dominant cultural myths of individuality and community, failure and success, power and weakness, victory and surrender.
A link to my recorded module from Pacifica’s Extension Course on Conscious Aging will be made available to those who register to view at their convenience. This presentation examines prevalent myths of age and eldering in the dominant culture and as they emerged in the 2024 election.
a recording of a live 90 discussion that was held on Zoom examining some of those myths that shape and misshape our beliefs about ourselves and others as we navigate elderhood.
I will be drawing on these texts, although there is no required or necessary reading to participate.
