Back at the retreat- shared concerns and needs for the region were shared- we identified what we had and where we wanted to go and what we needed to get there. Confidence was a shared issue and in a bid to raise this Helen and Leslie created an exercise in which we fed single adjectives to each other as responses to how we perceived each others work, practice. I thought I would share with you the words fed back to me: Conceptual, energetic, has integrity, honest, ghosted by Ben, weird, quirky, thoughtful, more solo work please, confident, humorous and fun, genuine.
I left feeling uplifted, with a sense of belonging, exposed, but in a good way, wiser, driven, normal and excited. The 12 participants created a syncronized swim on the Sunday for Ants birthday–we might do more.
