Do as Dorothy Did - Writing / Art / Hiking Lab - 18th Sept

Aim of the experiment: To ‘be’ in place, without focusing on doing anything in particular, or achieving anything in particular. This experiment encourages you to notice what is around you that you might normally rush past on your way to a destination or to reach a certain point. It is an exercise in listening to your body and its needs, in relationship to the wider world. It asks you to stop along the way, to pause, to reassess your surroundings, to notice what others don’t simply by being yourself, in place, drawing on pacing techniques used to manage pain and other physical symptoms. It is an exercise in companionship with place and with the more-than-human world; in recognising your own body as part of a wider eco-system.

The related writing workshop will be held via Zoom on Tuesday 27th September from 6-8pm.
