 === Desert Attunement ===
-Field trip for locals and travellers to experientially attune to the desert environment, through practice-based experiments with layered time, durational desert abiding, heterogeneous listening, material wonder & wander, solitude and (in)difference etc.
+Field trip for locals and travellers to experientially attune to the desert environment. Through "durational desert abiding" we'll explore the embodied sense of layered time, observing & listening, material wonder & wander, solitude & (in)difference.
-Questions: How do we attune to the desert without falling in the trap of dualisms as wilderness/civilisation, urban/desert, etc. What could be the different ways and means to experience layered time in the desert? What would a contemporary form of desert geomancy be like? What does "brutal mysticism" in the desert look like? What if we refrain from speech and use the visceral language of experience?

-Proposition:  We need time to land and arrive in the desert before making any interventions. Experiential attunement to the desert environment is an imperative. We must tread lightly and see the desert with new eyes. We can observe and weave threads of connection with other people and places.
+Proposition:  We need to spend time in the desert to experientially attune to the environment. Communing rather than examining. We can attune to the desert without romanticising wilderness or drawing a hard line between the desert and urban civilisation. We tread lightly and see the desert with new eyes.
