Past Projects

Propositioning the Self with Experiments in Noticing: A sensory exploratory workshop

In this workshop we gather for a short experience on noticing. We will do this by leaning mostly into the auditory sense. We listen to a range of recordings, engage in sonic meditations and in slow and quiet activities. You will be provided with a small publication to notice and record your impressions.
Thursday, February 29 and March 14 2024 at Wonder’Neath Art Society, Halifax, NS; Soft start 5 to 5:30. Snacks and refreshments provided.
