TStR is a methodology for reconnection with the self, others and nature.
TStR is in service of supporting the transition from a power-over society towards a life-sustaining culture of Peace, cultivating deep listening, creativity and empathy.
TStR moves through a spiral-shaped map, beginning with Earth, where we express gratitude, clear space, and acknowledge our gifts. We then transition to Water, where we honor our pain for the world and our wounds, engaging in felt sensing and co-sensing of internal and external realities. With courage, we traverse Fire, discovering medicine and seeing with new eyes, symbolizing and co-creating. Finally, we proceed to Air, breathing fresh air, dreaming, and co-evolving.

We live in a moment of polycrises, uncertainty, complexity, polarization. More than ever, the world needs to consider the interconnection of personal, social, and ecological. Connection is why we’re here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.

The map of TStR is inspired by: Work that Reconnects (Joanna Macy), Focusing (Eugene Gendlin, Ann Weiser Cornell), Theory U (Otto Scharmer) / Social Presencing Theatre (Arawana Hayashi), Aesthetic of the Oppressed (Augusto Boal), Dragon Dreaming (John Croft), The Medicine next to the wound (Hector Aristizabal).

We have forgotten to deeply see, to deeply hear, to deeply feel. We need to reclaim our synesthetic perception and awaken diverse languages to access other kinds of knowledge.

The aesthetic distance creates a safe and creative space where we can expand our understanding, and can be with the not knowing.

Theatre makes visible the invisible. Embodiment (or in-bodiment) can open up to a different source of knowledge. Symbolization gives new perspectives and a deep understanding.
