Catalyst Conscious  was created by Kelsey Wishik; a multimedia artist, movement practitioner, musician, and instructor from the Southeastern United States. Catalyst Conscious designs and facilitates experiences and offerings through these pillars: movement, art, yoga, music, and nature. Through developing and sharing these vehicles we can co-creatively enrich ourselves and our communities. 

​

Catalyst offers movement experiences, immersions, and education through a multi-cultural perspective blending classical yoga with contemporary, somatic, and primal movement, the Five Element Systems, principles of Taoism and martial arts.

​

Additionally, Catalyst's mission includes building relationships, communities, and projects around its pillar focuses. Collaborations across disciplines build inclusive, creative, sustainable cultures nationally and internationally. See our Allies here.

 

Art--in all its forms--can bridge our many differences, speak to all languages and economic statuses. Artful and conscious projects range from Art and Empowerment Workshops, Creative cultural exchange, Residency Programs, Permaculture, bioremediation, and service work. 

 

Philosophy

Catalyst Conscious practices and teaching styles emphasize the body-mind-spirit as intelligent matrix or tool each with a unique nature through which we channel consciousness. The main pursuit of Catalyst's efforts is to offer trainings, experiences, and programs that work towards the refinement of the primary vehicle of our consciousness. 

 

Mind/body connection is emphasized alongside biomechanics, intuition, developing self-knowing, empowerment joyful healing, and creative expression. Movement, music, art, nature, and mindfulness are major doorways into our life experience, and through practicing with them, we can cultivate sensitive, healthy, adaptable, resilient, and creative experiences.
