I’m in the thick of planning for some upcoming in-person events and reflecting on a few of my favorite past ones. When I’m with people for a few days, I like to invite them at the beginning of our time together to collect one object that represents something they’d like to harness and one object that represent something they’d like to let go of.
Toward the end of our time together, we all come together and create two collections of our objects, sharing the stories behind why we chose them. These collections are full of flowers, rocks, coins, travel tickets, chapstick, origami, slivers of found plastic, and often: handwritten notes like the ones you see here.
