Workshop: How to Become Octopus (and sometimes squid)

This experience is open to anyone curious about cephalopods (octopus, squid, and cuttlefish), developing new ways of sensing, and expanding the definition of self. No prior experience with cephalopod mimicry required—just an open mind and a willingness to experiment and play.

Spaces are limited. Registration is highly suggested. Join us in redefining the next stage of evolution!

Guided by the Institute for Transhumanist Cephalopod Evolution founder Miriam Simun, attendees will foster a new kind of listening and connection to the self, the environment, and the other beings in our midst. The 2-hour workshop unlocks enhanced bodily awareness, decentralized cognition, and shapeshifting capabilities.

Access Note: Workshops will last two hours. We will work alone, in partners, and as a group. Please wear clothes you feel comfortable moving in, be prepared to take off your shoes and spend time on the floor. There will be an invitation to come into touch with yourself, your environment, and the others around you.

For those with physical limitations working in a chair is also possible. For specific disabilities please email info@recessart.org ahead of time and we will do our best to accommodate.
