My approach: holding space

In my community work, I create and hold spaces where people can come together in inspiring and empowering ways. In these temporary communities, new forms of togetherness can emerge: genuine encounters, honest exchange, and the sharing of meaningful experiences are at the heart of what we do. Through artistic, embodied, and participatory formats, community becomes tangible. For me, coming together – even beyond our usual circles – listening to each other, sharing our skills, and building meaningful networks is a vital part of fostering a sustainable society. I see commoning as a central practice: resources, skills, and responsibilities are shared, co-created, and cared for – rather than being claimed individually. In everyday life, this allows new forms of community to take shape.

Regular Community Happenings

Currently, the recurring formats of the Lila Vase community work are Comm_on and the Community Artists’ Dinner. Both offer accessible ways to gather, create together, (un)learn, and explore successful ways of relating and collaborating.

Workshops & Collaborations

In addition, I regularly offer individual workshops on various topics and participate in artistic collaborations. You can find an overview of all community events here.

The Art of gathering: Community Facilitation

I also design and facilitate special gatherings for groups. I draw on artistic methods, embodied approaches for getting to know each other, and restorative ways of handling conflicts. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to bring such an experience to your event, workplace, or community.
