Description: We are asked to think of something we want to increase in the world, and something we want to let go of. We will write or draw our ideas onto either side of soft clay doves. We will then hang the doves on tree branches where the clay (and our intentions) will return to the earth.
-In small groups first talk about our ideas, then either using a pre-madedove, or by first making our own, write or draw our ideas onto the dove.
-Come together in large group to briefly share
-We disperse to hang our doves on trees outside
