The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust.
F. Nietzsche
Are you looking for approaches that allow the meaning of shared experiences to emerge?
Are you interested in exploring complexity through co-created narratives?
Do you believe in the transformative power of stories and experiences?
DISCOVER Animus and Join us!
animus
an invitation
In these tough times we invite you to take part in an online immersive transformative experience supported by sensemaking activities with Liberating Structures.
In Animus, participants – in circles made of 6 people + 1 from the staff – live a story by stepping into the shoes of one of the characters in a larger narrative ecosystem. Within these characters, we shape a story over time and co-create the group’s particular experiences.
You don’t need to have already tried an immersive experience, nor to know how liberating structures work and – at the end of the journey – you’ll gain a powerful approach to explore the complexity of reality.
Animus is designed to:
Develop new awareness through moving past your comfort zone.
Learn to use your emotional state as a way to gather & integrate information.
Appreciate the importance of structured interactions for cocreation and sensemaking.
Be present and open to intuitive solutions.
Create bonds with other participants.
Make decisions combining instinct and deliberation.
what is animus
Narrative ecosystem
Animus is a narrative ecosystem that embraces various disciplines and languages (experience design, narrative design, role-playing); it tells a story about friendship, courage, hard choices. About what we were and what we still are deep inside.
Animus is a full immersion experience that lasts for 12 hours divided into 5 days (detailed timetable here).
You can join as an individual or secure an entire circle of 6 for your friends.

MORE ABOUT
the PLOT
Animus takes place nowadays and tells of the past and present lives of a group of special people bound by destiny.
In Animus, you will portray characters who live a normal life until they start having lucid dreams that become more and more vivid.
This is the beginning of a journey that will lead you, together with the others of your Circle, to look with different eyes at the world and time.
Animus is a tale of friendship and choices. A story in which ordinary people with their doubts, weaknesses, and fears, are confronted with a greater destiny.
It talks about our lives and what we might have been in another time and space. Other lives. In search of our own self. In search of the people we are connected to.

What people say
Average Feedback Score
Animus was a deeply immersive experience that I can’t stop thinking about.
It was a safe and beautiful immersive experience to learn about my own triggers, blocks, and gifts. This was therapy, without needing a therapist! Highly recommend the professional and caring way this whole thing was delivered. Thank you!

the team
A big
project
Animus is a big project that required a lot of skill in different areas. It wouldn’t be possible without the work of an incredible team.
