It's a good idea to make as much, or more, art as you consume. Dance is particularly useful, environmentally-speaking, in leaving behind little or no residue.

Warm & cool. 2010 Summer Movement Monastery includes paint-yr-own-poems-&-color-on-veil-&-fan day. Ahhhh, Dancemeditation...
So many possibilities here, but the gist of it is making yr own melange of gorgeousness, intrigue, secrets, visions rather than buying someone's else.It may be messier but its yours.
(Also great practice for entertaining yourself when the internet goes down.) We'll have art supplies available for lowest cost at the SMM as well as a list of what you might bring from yr personal world to enhance this experience.
More soon!
