Description:
This workshop is based around the ‘ganzfeld experiment’. Ganzfeld is a well-known phenomenon and is said to alter consciousness and to be conducive inwardly generated images. You will be guided through a number of exercises to hone senses prepare the visual field before entering into the ganzfeld. The workshop will end with a discussion about our experiences. For more detail this page.
Before the workshop:
– You will receive your own set of ganzfeld hemispheres to wear over your eyes.
– You will need a bright spotlight and a comfortable seat ready for the activity.
– You will be required to complete a short online questionnaire 10 mins.
During the workshop:
A ‘Zoom’ meeting will open at 10 am. You will be required to remain still and seated for part of the 1-hour activity. Ultimately this is a form of sensory deprivation and this can be deeply relaxing it can also be challenging for some so please be aware of this before you sign up.
After the workshop:
We will have a discussion about our experiences and how these might relate to the questionnaire results.

I saw many tiny swimming things and I thought that I was spinning on my chair but I wasn’t…
Fascinating and swirly. I highly recommend this product.

This was great! The workshop materials were beautifully presented. The workshop itself was well paced, informative, and invited participation. During the sensory deprivation I experienced lots of visual and emotional effects. Curious to try a longer sesssion! Thanks Tony!

These will change your life…they can transport you to places and make you feel like you have never felt before!

I will definitely be re-using my limited edition Ganzfeld Hemispheres again when I want to take a break from reality into a world of abstract shapes, colours and noise. This has set a high bar for future interactive Proximity workshops in terms of planning, delivery and merchandise.
