Well the exhibition is finally installed and I had so many people to thank during the opening ceremonies that I barely touched on the exhibition itself. I can honestly say that I found myself extremely moved - almost teary, when old friends made long trips from out of town to say hello and take in the show.
Through out the night It quickly donned on me why openings are not the best event to invite people to as you have so little time to catch up and ask them what is going on in their own life. Because of this I found myself frantically emailing and texting people early the following morning to let them know how much I appreciated them coming and my desire to set up additional time to have a conversation worthy of their effort.
When I am hoping there will be time and space for some engaging discussion is during a series of walking and writing workshops I am offering as part of the MacLaren Art Centre summer programming. Starting this Thursday, each of three evenings you will be asked to read a short article before meeting at the gallery and then heading down to the shoreline to stimulate your senses and explore different conceptual and material approaches to writing. Sometimes individual, and sometimes collaborative, we will explore how different perspectives and objects bring forward different ways of knowing and being in the world. If nothing else, it will help us get our steps in on a Thursday evening.
As I am still conducting beach cleans around Lake Simcoe until mid October, the community is also invited to join me on Sunday nights as I continue to scour the shorelines for trash that is both harmful to human and more-than-bodies. Simply visit the UN/making Network Eventbrite page to register for a beach clean near you. Carpooling is encouraged.

Appreciate this inspiring post and the beautiful reminder to slow down and practice gratitude in everyday life. The workshops sound like a meaningful way to reconnect with nature and personal well-being. It's always encouraging to see creative communities sharing positive experiences. Reading thoughtful content like this reminds me of organizations such as Vermont Book Publishers, which also value meaningful storytelling and creative expression.
Классические игры обычно имеют три барабана и простые символы, такие как фрукты, полоски и семерки. Современные видео слоты , с другой стороны, часто включают пять барабанов, несколько линий выплат, улучшенную графику и интерактивные бонусные функции. Поэтому многие игроки предпочитают современные слоты за их развлекательную ценность. Однако изучение других форматов игр также может быть интересными и предлагают совершенно другой стиль игры.
