ARTIST SUPPORT LAB

We curate and facilitate peer-to-peer group workshops and mentorships for creatives, visionaries and change-makers.

This is a rare opportunity for artists and creative studios to play with alternative mediums and perspectives. Sessions are entirely bespoke based on the needs of the client and project, but rooted in an exchange of methodologies and ideas, together with acts of deep listening, play and active imagination.

Sessions are primarily online but can be arranged in-person and last anything from 90 minutes to a full day immersion.

Individual sessions are available with Founder and Director
Jemma Foster.

Sessions are intuitively designed by Jemma to activate the unique creative signature within each client and project to cultivate symbiotic flow between these states. While Jemma holds a container for the emergent potential of this catalyst, clients are encouraged to co-create the sessions, blending somatic practices (movement, meditation, breathing) and making (writing, drawing, building) with deep listening exercises, dreaming with plants, active imagination and games designed to access the liminal spaces where intuition and insight lie. Practical guidelines to assemble, align and integrate the work are designed together, honouring the leadership, accountability and integrity of the client, to build a practice that strengthens the client’s intuitive powers with structured tools and rituals.

This work can be done in a one-off session for addressing a specific issue or project, or over a series of sessions to work through patterns and habits, transitionary phases, inspiration and purpose.

Jemma is an inter-disciplinary artist, writer and creative director. Her work researches human and more-than human consciousness and imagination at the intersection of art and technology. Rooted in a background in the healing arts, her practice draws from alchemy, geomancy and social dreaming, to create bio-therapeutic soundscapes, immersive installations and guided rituals for interspecies communication.

Actively advocating for the agency and rights of plants, she has spoken before leaders and policy makers for systems change, and her work has been exhibited and performed internationally including Somerset House, Barbican, ICA London and COP28, Dubai. She is founder and director of transmedia creative consultancy and publishing house Wild Alchemy Lab, c-founder of award-winning creative studio Semantica, and the author of Sacred Geometry (Octopus, 2020), Wild Alchemy Lab: An Astro-botanical Remedy Deck (Laurence King, 2023), Wild Alchemy: An Astro-Botanical Guide to the Magic, Myth and Medicine of Plants (Laurence King, 2024).
