DURATION: 7:56am (high tide) - 8:11pm (high tide), 09.09.2025
LOCATION: Roscoff
MATERIALS: all you need to engage your practice. (paper, pen, camera, computer, books, paint, instruments, etc.); A fully charged phone. Be prepared for the weather, the elements, and the long day (layered clothing; water; sunscreen; food; money; etc.)
PURPOSE: building a field of attunement and visibility as an initiation/activation of (the) fellowship.
SCORE:
Start together. Eyes closed. Lined up before the water. Breathing. Feeling the wind. (5 minutes)
Stay on or in connection to the tidal zone for a full tidal cycle (high tide to high tide).
If not physically present in Roscoff, find a liminal zone in your own environment (any space between spaces that belongs to neither).
Set an alarm on your phone on the hour, each hour for the full cycle.
When the alarm goes off - post on the Signal group a trace of your present experience. (audio, video, photo, text...)
Gather at 8:00pm at the check-point. Bring a physical object. Hold it in your hands.
End together. Eyes closed. Lined up before the water. Breathing. Feeling the wind.
GUIDELINES:
ASK: On the hour, every hour, when the alarm sounds, ask yourself: Am I really doing what I most desire to be doing right now? (adjust accordingly)
LISTEN: Care for yourself. Rest, eat, drink, move, shelter, stop when you need, as you need.
FREEDOM: Cluster or stay in solitude. In silence, in song, in conversation. Go where you want to go. Do what you want to do.
COMMUNICATE: send messages to anyone in the group, and post to the group Signal as you wish.
INDICATIONS: if you wish for more thematic guidance to calibrate to the tides - here are some possible keys (use if ever helpful to reconnect or ground in the process) -
You can also imagine the tidal cycle as an oscillation of moving deeply toward the center/self/soul and then back towards the world - like the practice of walking a labyrinth.
