Threads of Aliveness

Parts on Paper
19 to 27 November 2026
This group will be about observation and cultivating our attention to the threads of aliveness.
Unlike our usual writing groups, we won’t be doing much writing. The intention is to open our creative channels a little more than usual and notice what feels more or less alive in our world.
You might sketch, take pictures or use words in a more poetic sense. This is not about hard writing.
What would it be like to follow those threads a little more? Even the smallest ones?
We’ll run from 19 to 27 November, with group calls on 19 and 26 November, from 18:00 to 19:30 South Africa time, where we’ll open up this conversation together, share what we’re noticing and inspire one another along the way.
