Forthcoming Book: Project Imaginarium: Life Excavations Through Emancipatory Visual Journaling
Project Imaginarium is the book at the heart of my life’s work — a synthesis of art, psychology, spirituality, and embodied inquiry that explores how imagination itself can become a regenerative force for healing and transformation.
The book invites readers into an experiential journey of creative awakening, guiding them through a practice I call Life Excavations — a contemplative, art-based process of uncovering and reclaiming the hidden layers of our lived experience. Using visual journaling as both tool and terrain, Life Excavations helps us see our lives as layered landscapes — full of memories, emotions, patterns, and potentials waiting to be unearthed and reimagined.
Each journal page becomes a living dialogue between image and intuition, a space where we can translate inner experience into visible form. Through collage, drawing, color, texture, and handwritten reflection, we begin to excavate what lies beneath the surface — giving shape to what has long remained unspoken or unseen.
At the center of the Imaginarium process are Evocative Queries — poetic, open-ended questions designed to stir the imagination and awaken deeper knowing. These queries serve as portals into the unconscious, inviting symbols, sensations, and insights to rise organically. Rather than seeking logical answers, we approach them with curiosity and reverence, allowing each page to reveal its own wisdom in its own time.
Rooted in my doctoral research (Life Excavations Through the Imaginarium, 2008), Project Imaginarium has evolved over many years of teaching, art-making, and contemplative practice. It embodies my ongoing exploration of what it means to come home to ourselves — to reclaim the creative lifeforce that is our birthright and to participate consciously in the unfolding of a more whole and imaginative world.
The manuscript is currently in progress, weaving together theory, personal story, and guided practice. When complete, it will serve as both a reflective companion and a practical guide — an invitation to explore your own inner landscapes through the transformative power of imagination.
