This will be an interactive, free-form activity that includes facilitation of skills in yarning, and some background about the practice of yarning. During the session you will engage in yarning, and reflect on this as a way of learning about self and others, in research and teaching. The outcome will be an understanding of a different way of knowing, and a new way of sharing practice.
