The Dream Sanctuary
of Hyphae
is the project started by Annette Assmy who started the Mystery School of the Soul. She blends ritual with performance and this time around, she chose to play with the spirit of the fungi. I happily accepted her invitation to collaborate with her and others to co-create what turned out to be a truly transformative experience!
The Co-creation
I love collaborating on projects.. especially when they revolve around mushrooms! Not only was I able to contribute my visual art – my masks (I made 4 new ones for the occasion), my artwork was used for the flyer, I also created new imagery for mushroom cards used during the ceremony. Plus I had fun exploring AI capabilities to animate my artwork to create a mushroom dream world. The videos were projected during the evening’s mushroom dance. (video clip from this is down below)
Plus, my knowledge about fungi and their history, including the different species of fungi and symbology was fun to share. I have also been fascinated by dreams and the subconscious for a very long time, but recently, even more.
