Workshop: Kathleen Jones: The Landscape of Your Life

Have you ever thought of your life as a journey through a particular country? There are familiar landmarks, strange places, hills and valleys to be negotiated. We live our lives in close relationship to the earth we live on; it’s where we belong, the context of all our experiences. Explore the unique landscape of your own life and about putting it on the page.
