Finding Form

August 21st – August 27th 2016

The Workshop

This workshop is about design and yoga – and thus an experiment on creativity.
Yoga apparently is about “being” while design entails “making”. Yoga basically tries to reach us inside whereas design directs our energy towards something outside ourselves.
But design and yoga essentially follow the same principles of form and finding: they both aim for structure, rhythm and order. While design aims to develop forms that encompass ideas, yoga combines physical excercise with meditation and translates matter into patterns of energy.
The workshop will introduce and practice methods of product design and Kundalini Yoga, thus allowing participants to explore new ways of developing things, procedures and themselves.
On a material side our focus lies on food related objects – objects that we can use in order to harvest, prepare or serve vegetarian food. In the meantime, yoga’s spiritual and physical exercises broaden our experience and connect our energy beyond the usual limitations of body and soul.
Together, yoga and design shall reach beyond egocentric ambitions and search for truth and harmony within a universe of possibilities.

Franziska Kessler is a regular in Boisbuchet. She loves to create spaces and finding the form within the nature without boundaries. Her professional history in the area of design and creativity is manifold.

As a former lifestyle professional for magazines such as Vogue and Elle, she is currently working as an international acclaimed design expert and interior designer for companies, hotels and private clients. Yoga is since many years an integral part of her life. It means a completion and reinforcement of one’s bodily and mental abilities. In the combination of yoga, meditation and creativity she sees an enhanced potential in all that one undertakes.

What began as a rather private concern with Yoga, soon brought insights that resulted in a professional commitment to it. She leads regularly international Yoga workshops and classes.

Franziska is a certificated and trained Kundalini Yoga teacher by Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa and her husband Gurushabd Singh Khalsa. Like them, her teaching is deeply inspired by this ancient technique and spirit of Yoga. She also holds a Reiki master degree to complete the understanding of working with energy.
