How Do Your People Call The Earth?

Led by Writing the Land poet JuPong Lin, this workshop integrates origami, walking meditation, community poetry and installation art. It opens with a mandala ceremony to honor the Earth in as many languages as the community brings. JuPong will teach the origami canoe fold, offer a guided meditation to attune to other-than-human beings and send folks outside for a 10-minute walking meditation—solo or together. The final movement will include the origami butterfly fold, a poetry prompt and a community poem. The poem and installation will be exhibited in the library for one month after the event.
