Welcome
Tracing Being introduces exercises using drawing and writing that are designed to open a closer relationship with your own perception. The exercises are invitations to notice how you experience, sense, and respond through marks, symbols, and words.
As you work, a quiet inner dialogue may open. Let your pace, curiosity, and attention guide you.
The guide includes:
- Warm Up: arriving in the senses
- First Mark: a simple act of creating
- A Quiet Conversation: meeting what appears
- Circling Space: exploring boundaries
- Being: being with what is
- Between: a dialogue between words and image
- Unfolding: sensory traces of lived experience
- Mapping Senses: returning to the body through memory and imagination
- The Shape of Thoughts: giving form to the experience of thinking
- The Shape of Feelings: listening through the body as feeling takes form
- Intuitive Imaginings: sensing what is forming
