Zines in Rancho Viejo

We have spent the week far away from any sort of cell signal in a community of 150 people, tucked into a biosphere reserve. Talk about amazing! We came to play theater games, make zines, learn about the conservation efforts happening here and build community.

The magic of quickly folding zines never ceases to amaze me and they were hooked right away. Soccer balls, smiles, blank paper, and markers were the right things to pack.

We made all sorts of zines, including ones to invite families to the school on Friday to show them the little play we made. At the end, they asked to take a picture all together. There were a lot of moving pieces and most of the kids scurried away, so here is what we got!

T.O. 1  Stay Engaged

Stay Engaged is first agreement of T.O. as presented at Philly workshops.

Stay engaged helps me to check myself on the ways that I sometimes tune out or withdraw myself when something gets difficult, uncomfortable, or boring. As I become more aware of this, I also find myself accidentally returning to the mental to-do lists and tasks with the speed that one flips from social media post to post to post.

If one needs to break any of the other agreements in order to keep this one, keep this one.
