a receptive
audience and invite feedback from peers. To offer a workshop, start by e-mailing workshops@intentiongathering.org
with a description including: 100 word workshop description, 40 word presenter
bio, and what kind of space you require (any
equipment and supplies must be provided by you). We'll do our best to accommodate
you! Otherwise there will be some spaces blocked out for impromptu workshops
decided on a first come first server basis. There will be a sign-up board
in the communal kitchen area.
