It was great having guests like Mylene and Nestor coming to talk about the things they do and how the things they do affect the many other people or how it is a way to bring people with different cultural background together. The biggest take away for me from Mylene was basically everything she talked about because everything she said was all new concepts to me. So it was really great to be able to learn something new. I especially like the part where she told us about how or what led her to do what she does today. I think that story really showed the level how engage she is with what she is doing and it's always good to know, for what reason you are doing it for. Also, the meditation session with Nestor was great. It was really relaxing and very reflective.
Even with the all day art making, I don't think I had enough time. NEED MORE TIME! In the beginning I tried to make my vessel out of the plastic cup but that didn't really work out that great for me. So I decided to just make my vessel out of wood. I started off binding the wood together with thin wires but that didn't work out very well either so I changed it to strings and it was coming along. Though it's still an art project in progress.
