Three Tongues Trial Run at Trinity Bellwoods


 
 On Thursday July 28, we gathered at Trinity Bellwoods for a trial run of the first Three Tongues knowledge exchange. The skills taught all make use of the tongue. 
 Alex Samaras taught us a skill of Chance: Throat Singing.
Using cherries and beginning with an explanation of how babies use their tongues to eat, Jenna Robertson taught us a skill of Beauty: Mindful Eating.
 Stacey Sproule taught us a skill of Truth: How to Make Sun Tea, using tea leaves, rose hips, lavender and chamomile. 
After learning the first skill from the teachers, participants went out and exchanged their new knowledge with one another.
Each participant earned a different coloured stripe for each skill learned. Stacey got all three!

Thanks to everyone who came out for the first Three Tongues knowledge exchange, and to Alex, Jenna and Stacey for passing along these lovely skills. 

Special thanks to Alex and Rob for concluding the evening by serenading us with a wonderful performance of a Meredith Monk song!
