A foundational program to develop the inner capacities of scribing—a process of drawing while people talk—for real-time reflection. This 5-day online program will cover a range of core capacities required for a robust visual practice. Self-directed readings, videos, handouts, and guided practices combine with daily online sessions for live scribing and group conversations. The content will include:
- Day 1: Being—Staying open; creative tension; containers
