Workshop D: Metaphors That Breathe
May 16th 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM
Baltimore Unity Hall (Open to All)
Facilitated by Chev, this workshop gives attendees the tools to find and flesh metaphors that strengthen as they expand. Together we’ll practice mapping the epistemology of a moment and how to give it a living body.
