In the final laboratory, we will explore the themes of previous labs within our project LEAF (e.g. Forests, Caves, Glaciers, Bodies of Water, Somatics, Storytelling, Listening, Resting, Bathing, etc.). You can expect to spend time together while reading, listening, thinking, talking, walking and writing. Let’s make a Glossary together!
David Rovics is an American folk- and protest singer who has written hundreds of songs of solidarity with progressive causes, from Palestine to Chiapas, for striking workers and squatting anarchists, songs of history and songs for dreaming of the future to come. He has teamed up with Kamala Emanuel and together they call themselves The Ministry of Culture. They will be visiting Reykjavík on their way to touring Europe. On that occasion IWW Ísland is organizing an intimate concert for all friends of Andrými. Come and sing along to the revolution!
Entrance is free for those who can’t pay but as musicians have to live too we suggest a donation of 1500kr to the musicians (in cash or you can transfer to the IWW who will then pass it on).
Refugees and asylum seekers often find themselves in a liminal space, existing in a gap between the past and the future. In this in-between phase, individuals are neither fully part of their old culture nor fully integrated into a new one. This “liminal phase” is a transitional space commonly described in the context of rites of passage—rituals that mark significant life transitions in many cultures.
In Expressive Arts (EXA) therapy, we invite participants to enter this liminal space through art-making, ritual, and play. This process encourages exploration of the essence of one’s being, an encounter with beauty in the unknown, and the discovery of inner resources and potential. Art provides a means to give shape to fragmented stories, acting as a container for emotions that are difficult to express verbally. It is a way to communicate hope, and the process is resource-oriented, held with care and compassion within a thoughtfully crafted frame.
This (bi-)weekly gathering serves as a temporary home for the displaced and oppressed—a “testimony through art.” The goal is to foster a sense of belonging and connection, preventing withdrawal and helping participants move through physical and mental stagnation. Through creativity and imagination, we aim to cultivate a sense of hope in the midst of uncertainty.

*Expressive arts therapy is a therapeutic approach that places the creative process at the center of the human experience. Rather than focusing on advanced skills, it emphasizes the innate creativity of individuals and the heightened sensitivity that enables them to bring new things into being. This integrative approach uses a variety of creative expressions—such as poetry, music, visual arts, theater, clay, movement, and nature-based methods—to help individuals navigate personal challenges/ inquiries and explore their own resources. No previous art experience is required—just your presence.
**Note on Group: For safety and to maintain a consistent dynamic, this will be a closed group with a maximum of 6 participants. This group is currently full. If you’re interested in joining future sessions when space becomes available, please contact Yi Jen at bodywilderness@gmail.com. We will notify you as soon as a new group is formed. This group will be conducted in English, but support for translation may be available for languages spoken by participants. Please note that these sessions can not replace any ongoing therapies or medical treatments. We kindly remind our participants to take care of their own needs during and after these sessions.
