Today centers contact around…Peace (In a world full of chaos and turmoil, how do you escape? What brings you peace and puts your mind at ease even for just a brief moment?) A small trace. A mark left without explanation. What you offer can be brief. A line. An image. An acknowledgment. Leave it where attention happened to land.

Today starts our weekly prompts. They will be dropped every Sunday going forward. This is to give you an example of what it would look like from week to week.

(Activity) Inner Weather Check (Exercise) Name your current internal climate using weather language. One phrase or term only. No explanation. __________ Here’s My Offering (Example): Today has favorable winds for dream chasing, ideas gathering like clouds ready to become rain. #SouthernSeoulSpeaks #Tresduravia #SeoulScribez
