Playing with Time
A Four-Part Immersion in Slowing, Seeing, and Creative Awakening
Playing with Time is a four-part immersion for those who sense that the way we experience time and attention is changing—and who want to give their inner lives room to evolve accordingly. Through breathwork, visual exploration, and expanded states of awareness, we enter the subtle territories where perception loosens, identity softens, and a more visionary intelligence emerges.
Each session explores a different mode of creative thinking—observing, imagining, abstracting, transforming—each doorway opening into a new relationship with time and making new forms of reality possible. Through embodiment, seeing, and making, urgency dissolves and attention returns.
Ideal for: meditators, yogis, artists, deep feelers, curious beginners, seekers of presence, adults who feel rushed, creators craving clarity, and anyone ready to shift their relationship to time.
Session Themes & Dates
Session 1 — Observing: Unrushing the Gaze
December 7, 2025 · 2–5pm
Slow your seeing and shift from naming to receiving. Through breath, witness-awareness, and observation drawing, you’ll experience how presence transforms perception.
Session 2 — Imagining: Dissolving the Do-er through Play
December 21, 2025 · 2–5pm
Explore the boundary between effort and flow as you loosen the “do-er” and allow new images to synthesize in your mind’s eye. Fast-paced drawing games open the door to creative surrender.
Session 3 — Abstracting: Where Form and Emptiness Meet

Discover how abstraction dissolves binaries and reveals the field beneath form. Through expressive drawing and wire sculpture, you will meet different facets of your essence and hear what each has to say.

Transform personal patterns into creative possibility. Through worldplay making and symbolic reimagining, you will experience how awareness turns repetition into revelation.

To maintain the integrity of the transformative container, I strongly encourage committing to all four weeks. However, I realize that may not be possible, so individual sessions are available.

Facilitator — Dre Merello
My work is rooted in decades of artmaking, learning facilitation, meditation, embodied inquiry, tantric initiation, nondual philosophy, and doctoral research. I hold spaces where people can deepen perception, recover attention, and stake new claim in lived reality.
