Before Visiting

I am visiting Sisters Hope Home with two goals in mind and heart.

Firstly, I want to remove myself from the physical, mental and social environment that is my everyday life, and enter a parallel space where I can shed unwanted modes of being in world. Specific goals in this regard is to learn how to fight the incessant need for distractions, instead being poetically present with myself and my surroundings. I wish to achieve a healthier, higher sense of connectedness the world.

Secondly, my wish is that the inhabitation of Sister Hope Home will inspire a psychedelic eco-art project that I am developing.
