How we pay attention changes that which we pay attention to ­– and in turn we ourselves are changed. In this workshop, participants are invited to explore the transformative nature of attention by slowing down and spending time with plants. Using our own bodies as intelligent allies in this investigation, we experiment with practices from Goethean sciences as well as techniques of deep listening, sensorial immersion and somatic imagination to involve ourselves intimately with vegetal beings and allow them to come alive in us.
