​Dohee Lee redefines the concept of healing by integrating personal and collective stories through the creation of rituals designed as artistic performances.

Elinvites participants to explore the relationships between the physical body, emotions, thoughts, and imagination, using diverse tools such as movement, dance, drawing, writing, and voice. This artistic approach allows individuals to reclaim their intimate and shared narratives by grounding expression in the body and creation.

Her teaching is also deeply influenced from Anna, Daria Halprin Life Art Process® where she trained and also teaches.

Healing is approached from an ancestral and shamanic perspective, aiming to restore balance and dialogue among the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and relational dimensions of being. Participants will have the opportunity to identify the root causes of their imbalances through somatic, artistic, and nature-based introspection, transforming them into a ritual performance embodying desired changes.

This training unfolds in four phases:

Connect Participants explore—both in the studio and in nature—a mapping that links the six elemental energies (Tree, Fire, Air, Metal, Earth, and Water) to the body, its internal organs, emotions, and associated narratives. This exploration reveals key themes and personal issues for each participant.

Reflect In this phase, participants examine the narratives emerging from their explorations and the interaction between nature and their bodies. Through guided reflection, they discover how their personal and collective stories are mirrored in ecological and bodily processes. These narratives are then mapped across the temporal dimensions of past, present, and future, creating a bridge between individual experiences and broader life cycles.

Collect: Ritual Creation Process This phase involves gathering and merging narratives, movements, vocal expressions (SingingBody), and written prayers to shape a coherent ritual performance. The focus is on creative composition as a transformative process, where storytelling becomes a powerful tool for giving form and meaning to the ritual.

Act The ritual performance is presented as a communal and healing act. It embodies a living offering, where art and personal narratives transform into collective medicine. Participants express and share renewed vitality, thus demonstrating their commitment to a process of healing and renewal.

Learning Objectives

1. Master the tools of the Life Art Process® to create nature-based ritual performances

   • Experiment with and apply techniques of movement, dance, voice, drawing, and writing as tools for artistic composition, based on the Practice of the Elemental Body and SingingBody.

   • Use a mapping of the six elemental energies (Tree, Fire, Air, Metal, Earth, Water) to structure an artistic and somatic exploration in both studio and natural settings.

2. Design and structure a ritual performance as an artistic and communal act

   • Gather and integrate narrative, vocal, gestural, and visual elements to compose a coherent ritual performance, using storytelling and creative composition techniques.

   • Articulate personal and collective narratives with ecological and temporal processes (past/present/future) to create an original and engaged artistic language.

3. Integrate ritual and performative practices into a professional artistic approach

   • Experiment with creative methods inspired by Korean traditions (dance, percussion, voice) and contemporary approaches to design structured and intentional ritual performances.

   • Create a performance as a collective artistic work, using composition, improvisation, and spatial arrangement tools to explore the relationships between body, nature, and artistic expression.

​

Who This training is intended for:

• Artists (dancers, performers, visual artists, musicians, actors) seeking to deepen their artistic practice through an exploration of movement, expressive arts, and nature-based creation.

• Professionals in the performing arts and somatic practices (choreographers, directors, art therapists, teachers of bodily expression) looking to integrate ritual and performative composition tools into their work.

• Anyone engaged in an artistic practice who wishes to explore new creative methods through the body, voice, writing, and improvisation in a natural setting.

For individuals with specific needs (reduced mobility, fatigue, visual or auditory limitations, or disabilities), we invite you to contact us to discuss personalized accommodations and verify the feasibility of your participation in the training.
