skeletal life workshops

The five lines is a schematic, an abstraction, of the skeleton.

It's a way to calibrate ourselves in space.

It answers the question: How do we bring forth something in ourselves that is a reference in every situation? Can we embed a sense of ourselves that is not transitory, ephemeral, or fleeting?

Learning to sense the five lines helps us land in ourselves. It's another path home.
