Start a dialogue and work together to make a positive change
The process is one part shared fever dream, two parts disorientation massage, three parts abstract therapy, and a pinch of schizo-LARP. Wrixling was created to re-scale, off-rail, and side-soup that negligible entity formerly known as “self.”
Participants are invited to register for a private, 25 minute-long videochat session with one of six Directors of Behavior. Each Director is highly trained in the techniques of Wrixling, as well as individual specialties including Gender Terracing, Transcursive Drawl and the Empathic Spittoon.
During the session, the Participant will co-operate upon their (im)personal histories, lingo-scaffolds, ancestral-fields, and fetish-nodes through a series of high-level language games and world-bending exercises. The results? We have no idea! But here is what Wrixlers have to say…
“Therapy is to Wrixling like looking at art is to having art call all the contacts on your cellphone and tell them about your patent for revolving aprons.”
“For many years, I couldn’t stand what passed for conversation. And then I discovered Wrixling…”
“When life gets confusing, we get confusinginger.”
“Hyper-paced! Tropospherically-unsettling! Obscenely utopic!”
