What does it mean to Dwell in a Place? How do we know when we have been claimed by a Place? How does this knowing change our daily habits of seeing, being, thinking, doing? What is the Story that has claimed us and led us to Dwell in a Place? This workshop is inspired by Keith Basso's Wisdom Sits in Places, my indigenous mentors, and the framework of Ethnoautobiography.
