WRITING, ART, SENSORY PLAY, & MOVEMENT
February 10, 11, and 12, 2023
Join us for a weekend of workshops to engage your senses, curiosity, and creativity as we explore and experiment with different modes of expression. We will tune into our bodyminds using breath and movement; explore our surroundings, real and imaginary, through a menu of texture, sound, memory, smell, language, gesture; and collaborate as a group to create support, cultivate pleasure, and tend ourselves and the space around us. There will be invitations to write, draw, dream, and move.
No experience needed. Everyone welcome.
