ABOUT

Step into the mosaic field of Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens through a Bionian lens. This experiential workshop invites participants to absorb the Gardens as a living metaphor for Bion’s ideas on perception, thought, and transformation. Drawing on key readings from Bion and his contemporaries, we will use the Gardens as a space for observation, reverie, and discovery—dipping our pens into its “ink” and transforming chaotic fragments, screens, and impressions into shared thought, narration, and intersubjective meaning. 

Participants will gather at the Magic Gardens (1020 South St, Philadelphia, PA 19147) on Friday, November 7, 2025 at 2:30pm for an hour of independent and small group exploration. Bring a notebook or sketchbook to jot down your impressions during the journey. Following this immersive experience, we will reconvene at the William Way Community Center (1315 Spruce St, Philadelphia, PA 19107) from 4:00–5:30pm for a facilitated group discussion. Pre-readings will be sent in your confimation email.
