How does one navigate these myriad waterways without drowning in jargon, misinformation, blame or nihilism?
This workshop is a brief exploration into the much-needed paradigm shifts and how a more open-ended engagement can inspire creative responses to trying times. It uses out-of-the-box tools to generate out-of-the-box perspectives. It will focus on bridging the mind and body through movement and awareness exercises so that the senses and sensitivities can be used as tools for a more holistic perspective on sustainability.
Many of the younger generations have been born into this planetary crisis and don’t know anything different. The mounting intensity will not go away, which we must confront with courage and cooperation. But where there is a crisis, there is also opportunity.
