10^th – 13^th September 2026

Fluidity, rhythm and resonance are fundamental to water and our natural world. They also have physical, metaphorical and psychological connotations for human life. Indeed, interactive engagement with water that is contained, marked and moved in various ways can engender fluid or water thinking. Such engagement has the power to mobilise and transform our creative and imaginative faculties, offering a wonderful example of Goethe’s sensitive and enlivening approach to scientific inquiry.

This international extended weekend workshop is an initiative of the School for Water of the Foundation for Water based at Emerson College UK, together with the International Flowform Association. Mas Vilalte is to be one of several in-person venues worldwide, linked by a Zoom sharing on each of three days.
