Rituals of the in-between with Dex Grodner
Sunday 28 June: 16.00-17.00 BST
When your room is an all-purpose place, time to work, play and rest can feel muddled and disorientated. We’ll be making rituals for beginnings, endings, and transitions, how to pick up work and how to put it down. Until then, burn some sage, blow out your candles and get some sleep.
