Money, fame, status, power and affection. To earn all these qualities, some don a mask of hypocrisy, disguising and even forgetting their true selves while telling lies that become music to their ears. Such dishonesties make their lives easier in the short term but chain their souls in the long run. 

What will happen when one disposes of the mask, bidding farewell to lies? Find out at this month’s production of the eerie drama.

To raise the awareness in the community and expand its knowledge on wellness, Linwards has organized a Self-Hypnosis workshop with guest speaker Tomas Sund. Hypnotherapy is a cooperative therapy approach, empowering people to discover the body’s natural ability to heal and to find the mind’s biological resources to do amazing things: gain confidence and creativity, manage or remove pain and phobias, control your weight, speed up learning and sleep better, among other things. 

This workshop will not only teach you how to do hypnosis, but also how to practice self-hypnosis. You will learn the skills and techniques to go into trance and change your mental state. By placing yourself in trance you can communicate directly with your subconscious mind where habits and behaviours are learned, stored and managed. 

Tomas Sund is a hypnotherapy practitioner from Sweden and since 2011 he has been on a mission to bring comfort to bothered minds. He studied hypnotherapy and counseling with the British Hypnosis and Research Training School at Birkbeck College in London, England. He is now running his own hypnotherapy practice in Shenzhen, with clients from all over the world.

Land-1.jpg

Artworks by Chinese young artist Wang Lei, dubbed Yumu Heyo, delves into the interrelationship and interdependence of time and space and record their state as he observes. But in Heyo’s viewpoint concerning contemporary painting, colors are auxiliary whereas the connotation of the artwork is primary. In his new project Land, Heyo approaches time and space in black and white, dissociating colorfulness and creating a ‘strong voiceless power’.
