Hi folks,
Just thought I’d reach out and mention that on Friday 18th at 11am, I’ve popped a Community Discussion Topic on the agenda called ‘A Brief Moment of Mindful Making: What are we curious about?’
I'm mindful the title is a bit ambiguous so wanted to share that the intention of this discussion topic is a come/go as you please moment to reflect on what you’ve experienced so far at the conference and what you are curious about. It’s a discussion topic in the form of an opportunity to engage for a moment with some materials and a dialogue with yourself (or others). If you visit this table what you will find is: some blank post card size paper, mark making materials like pens, pencils and pastels, a few prompts written down to help get things flowing if you need and me (likely clutching a coffee) - a neurodivergent masters level trained therapeutic arts practitioner and arts therapist!
Just to note; although that is my training, this isn’t art therapy - just a moment for reflection and/or connection during the conference using materials other than words. It stems from the concept that not all communication preferences are spoken word first and that multimodal ways of communicating hold validity.
See you soon,Jess
Thanks for this Jess. Such a great session and an exceptional conversation
