Recordings

 A series of guided meditations for writing, for program planning, for collective dreaming, and connecting to lands and waters

This guided meditation is an Indigenous feminist remix of Sondra Perl’s theorizing of “felt sense” as described in her 1980 article, Understanding composing, and Dian Million’s theorizing of “felt theory” as attended to in her 2009 essay, Felt theory: An Indigenous feminist approach to affect and history.

The full text of this guided meditation is available to read on pages 8-9 in the Indigenous Feminist Activity Book

Thank you to Tiffany Hill for editing and mixing the recordings.
