About this Event
Language shapes our perceptions and our realities. In this workshop, participants will create their own imaginal records. We will experiment with bookmaking, collage and creative writing prompts to explore word energetics, such as etymology (understanding the ancestral roots and original senses/meanings of words we use), word play and experimentation, and the connections between words, the body and mind, and the shaping of our material environments.
