I was standing on a fleece lap blanket, alongside a woman in a ribbon skirt, large silver earrings with bears on them, and wrists draped in bracelets.
We had some space to move and hadn’t regarded each other too closely, as we listened to Diane Garner and Carol Peters speak about Turtle Island and the arrival of the Europeans.
Prior to being relegated to our blanket, we had been moving freely and greeting the other people in the room, as we began our journey with the KAIROS blanket exercise.
