Writing for the love of it – a journal, a view, a sideways walking, portals and frames, a quadrant as a mountain climb. Exploring writing as dancers, we venture into the cave of dreaming out into the open fields. We then launch our minds in the sky.

Process:
Warm up the body – Chi Cultivation, scramble technique for the day.

Tools needed:
Pen, pencil, paper

Optional: a long paper you can put/tape on a wall. Chalk, crayons, charcoal, markers. Some books around.
