Experimental Making Lab

Creative project · Jan to Mar 2026

Experimental Making Lab

An eight-week journey of self-discovery through creative practice, using MINCA’s 4M method: Mindfulness, Movement, Making and Meaning.

The Lab began with stillness and silence, exploring presence and nonverbal trust, then moved from silence into creation through expressive drawing and movement. Along the way we explored identity, what it means to be seen, and how we show up together, using play, risk and “ugly” art to dissolve perfectionism and fear.

In the last two sessions, the group chose a theme, mediums and pieces together, and turned everything into a public group show: Learning to Trust the Unknown.

Moments from Experimental Making Lab

In their words

From the group

I found the conditions that help me create and be the most full version of myself.

The lab is like a behind-the-scenes tour of the magic of life.

I’ve learned without pressure, from experiencing it, without expectation and no attachment to results.

The Online Making Lab brings MINCA’s creative practices home: simple prompts that invite play, curiosity and self-expression. No artistic experience needed. Leave your email and I’ll tell you when it opens.
