Listening for Connections to the World
How we live in the world is always interdependent and situated within environments and place. Listening is a way of feeling into these relations. For this workshop participants will engage a daily listening and writing session, to connect both to where they are and to try to become sensitive to how they relate to their surroundings, and how their surroundings shift and change in relation to them.
