WHAT THIS STUDY IS FOR

Temporarily step beneath human explanation and experience body, sound, earth, sky, and community without requiring a linguistic meaning.

Passage actions

 Gather.  Become quiet.  Feel the earth.  Notice the sky.  Breathe.  Everyone howls.  Listen.  Do not immediately explain what it meant.

Passage actions

NO GRADING

Nobody grades your howl. Nobody possesses authority over the correct interpretation of another person's howl.

Passage actions

The howl is not about getting together and acting unusual. It is a sacred practice of reconnecting with ancient animal origins and the earth beneath modern human classifications.
